Company Description
Executive Directions & Pinnacle International is a boutique recruitment firm that has specialized in building high-performing teams since 1974. Founded by Robert E. Richards under R. E. Richards, Inc., the firm evolved from early success within the Sanford Rose Associates network to an independent model in 1993 designed to deliver a one-stop solution for recruiting, executive search, and interim staffing. Operating nationally and internationally, the organization unites two complementary practices under one umbrella: Executive Directions, a retained executive search practice focused on team-building and strategic staffing around placed leaders, and Pinnacle International, a contingency recruiting and professional interim operation for non-executive managers and specialists. Their disciplined, metrics-driven process is evidenced by a 79-day average from kickoff to offer acceptance, a 2.4:1 interview-to-hire ratio, and an 85% three-year retention “stick ratio,” reflecting precision in role definition, market mapping, candidate evaluation, and offer alignment. The firm is deeply embedded in manufacturing and technology-driven markets, including Automotive Systems & Components, Plastic Molding & Assembly, Resins, Compounds & Converting, Packaging & Converting, Automation & Automation Equipment, Network/Security Services & Machine Safety, and Horticulture & Arboriculture, and it also supports Private Equity and Board of Directors mandates. Pinnacle International covers functional disciplines such as sales, engineering, technology, quality, manufacturing operations, global supply chain, R&D, finance, and creative, enabling clients to staff full departments around newly placed executives and sustain momentum through ongoing strategic talent acquisition. Clients engage Executive Directions & Pinnacle International for retained leadership searches, targeted contingency recruiting, and interim/contract professionals when speed, accuracy, and durability of hire are critical. Candidates benefit from a continuously refreshed job database, structured interview preparation resources, and access to confidential, client-specific opportunities not broadly advertised. Across every engagement, the firm’s philosophy remains constant: people make the competitive difference, and a rigorous, hands-on approach to search and staffing is the most reliable path to achieving that advantage.
