About RainesDev

Hiring should be fast, predictable, and data-driven.

We're not just another staffing agency. We're a hiring engine built for speed, accuracy, and long-term success, using AI-driven insights to analyze technical and behavioral patterns that predict candidate success before the hire.

Meet the founder

Built by an operator, not a resume shop

RainesDev was founded by Sal Leone after 15 years in enterprise sales and ad tech and more than a decade running senior technical searches. That operator background shapes everything about how we recruit: we know what high-performance teams look like from the inside, because we've sold alongside them and hired into them.

For over seven years, RainesDev has served as an embedded talent partner to global technology firms, running continuous senior engineering searches with a track record measured in retained relationships, not one-off placements.

That same operator instinct led Sal to build RouzeIQ, a deal intelligence platform, after years of watching companies hire strong sales talent and then leave those reps underprepared for competitive deals. Two companies, one thesis: teams win on talent and intelligence, and most companies under-invest in both.
