About PRL International

PRL International is a retained executive search firm serving Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania. For more than 30 years, we have placed senior leaders in energy, manufacturing, and mid-market companies across the region and beyond.

We do not run contingency searches. We do not manage job boards. We work on a retained basis exclusively, which means every search gets our full attention from the first conversation through the final offer.

Our practice is built on three verticals: energy and natural resources, manufacturing and industrial, and mid-market companies preparing for growth, transition, or ownership change. These are not adjacent markets we cover when the phone rings. They are the industries where we have spent three decades building relationships with the senior leaders who are not on job boards, not updating their LinkedIn profiles, and not responding to outreach from firms they do not recognize.

Through our membership in NPAworldwide, we have access to a global recruitment network of more than 1,400 independent search firms across 50 countries. When the right candidate is not in Western Pennsylvania, we know how to find them.

PRL International is located at Southpointe in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, at the center of the Pittsburgh executive search market.

The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.
