VP and Director Recruiter Pittsburgh
Vice President and Director level roles are among the most critical and most difficult searches a company runs. They are senior enough that the wrong hire creates real organizational damage. They are common enough that many companies underestimate how hard they are to fill correctly. And they sit at exactly the level where the best candidates are never looking — they are performing, growing, and waiting for the right person to reach out with the right opportunity.
PRL International is a retained VP and Director recruiter based in Pittsburgh serving companies across Western Pennsylvania. Philip Lamb has spent more than 30 years placing Vice Presidents and Directors across oil and gas, engineering, manufacturing, finance, healthcare, and technology. He understands what these roles demand at the operational level and what separates a candidate who holds the title from one who has genuinely earned it.
VP and Director searches in Pittsburgh require a recruiter who can navigate a nuanced talent market. At this level, candidates are evaluating the opportunity as carefully as the company is evaluating them. They want to know about the leadership above them, the team below them, the company's trajectory, and whether the role is genuinely positioned for impact or just a title with no authority. Philip Lamb has the experience and the market credibility to have those conversations honestly — and to present your opportunity in a way that attracts the right candidates rather than just the available ones.
Every search is conducted on a retained basis. Philip Lamb works every engagement personally from intake to offer. He conducts a limited number of searches at a time so every client receives his full attention and the full benefit of his 30 years of Pittsburgh relationships.
Every placement is backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee. If the candidate does not work out within the first three months, PRL International runs a replacement search at no additional fee.
PRL International is a member of NPAworldwide, giving clients access to a global network of over 300 independent recruiting firms when searches require national reach.
