Meet The
FOUNDER
Sal Leone, a true New Yorker at heart, has dedicated his career to connecting people with exceptional opportunities. He started out in Manhattan’s finance world but quickly recognized how the Internet was poised to revolutionize industries. This forward-thinking perspective led him to pivot into software and IT professional services during the early days of online advertising. His curiosity about the technology behind banner ads propelled him into Ad Tech, where he collaborated with industry giants like The New York Times, Conde Nast, Washington Post, Hilton Hotels, Accenture, NFL, Credit Suisse, and many more.
After over a decade leading CYRIS Executive Search, Sal established himself as a trusted expert in technical and executive staffing. Known for his ability to uncover exceptional talent and tackle the complexities of hiring, he built a reputation for forging meaningful partnerships that deliver results. His talent lies in connecting the right people with the right opportunities—creating solutions that benefit both businesses and professionals.
Sal’s experience managing teams and navigating the dynamic tech industry laid the foundation for his vision of RainesDev. As its founder, he set out to bridge the gap between companies searching for top-tier talent and individuals striving for fulfilling careers. For Sal, RainesDev isn’t just about filling positions—it’s about driving progress through authentic, strategic connections.
Under Sal’s leadership, RainesDev delivers customized staffing solutions designed to address the unique challenges of each client. Whether helping startups scale or providing established enterprises with critical hires, Sal takes a personal, results-oriented approach to every partnership. His ability to blend technical expertise with a people-focused philosophy has made RainesDev a trusted partner in the fast-paced tech landscape.
Sal’s mission is simple: to redefine staffing by fostering genuine relationships and creating opportunities where businesses and talent thrive together.
At RainesDev, we don’t just find talent we spark connections that turn ambition into achievement.
