Testimonials
You probably heard, but I accepted an offer on Friday. I just wanted to reach out and let you know what a pleasure it has been to work with Pinnacle Search. I thought our interview was great and Dallas has made this whole process incredibly easy. I've been on both ends of the 3rd party recruiting process and this was easily the best experience I have had. I also gave Pinnacle some kudos when talking to Bazaarvoice. Keep up the great work! Thanks for everything,

Thank you for your efforts to help us identify and hire our new Vice President of Order Fulfillment. We were able to review and meet a variety of candidates, and we believe that, in the candidate, we have found a great fit for the job and our culture. Throughout the process, you distinguished yourselves through your willingness to listen to what we were seeking and through your responsiveness to any question or concern that we had. Although we were relatively new to the retained search process, we were impressed with Pinnacle Search Partners and the candidates that you were able to bring forward for our consideration. I expect that the next time we are in the market for a senior leadership position, we will reach out to Pinnacle for support.

I've had the pleasure of working with Lindsay and the Pinnacle Team on two highly important executive searches in the past 12 months. Both placements exceeded all expectations - they were placed more quickly than expected and the hired candidates have both exceeded all expectations. Having personally worked with Lindsay on both searches, I can say with confidence that it's not coincidence or luck, but instead by design. Lindsay, Sturdivant, and the entire team take time to interview their client and specific hiring managers to fully understand the role, needs, challenges, workplace dynamics, expectations, past failures and successes - what worked, what didn't, and why. I can't recommend Lindsay and Pinnacle highly enough. True professionals and business partners. There's no debate who we'll turn to the next time we need recruiting help.

Pinnacle's candidate write ups are the best I've ever seen. I love them – all muscle, no fat.

Margaret facilitated my placement as Chief marketing Officer. She has over a decade of experience in private equity before transitioning into the field of recruiting. She is not only an exceptional professional, but also a wonderful person to connect with.

Margaret, thanks for all your help getting the Chief Marketing Officer role over the finish line! It was a very efficient search in a tough market.
Vice President
Global Top Tier Private Equity Firm (CMO for a B2B Services Portfolio Company)
Truly Cares! During my job search with Pinnacle, Sturdivant and Lori always kept my best interest in mind. We had great conversations to start so they really understood my skillset and what I was looking for in my next opportunity. They took the time to find me the right fit and were very supportive and communicative during the entire interview process. Now I can say, I’ve landed a great opportunity and couldn’t be happier!
Brand Director

You’ve done the best job of any outside recruiter that I have used since joining ECS, and you are my “go-to” when I get hung up on filling a role. I’ve discontinued using 3 other firms that I have used in the past because they have not provided the success rates that you have.
Talent Acquisition and Development Manager
PE-Backed PU Foam Manufacturer
It has been a pleasure working with you. I have never enjoyed interactions with headhunters/recruiters, but you are an absolute exception. You are not pushy, forceful, etc., like the experiences that I've had with people from other search firms. So, I wanted to say thank you. Please take that as a compliment. You are head and shoulders above the rest.

Thank you, Lindsay, and your colleagues at Pinnacle for everything that you have done to help us find our Director of Finance & Accounting and our Senior Financial Analyst so quickly. The finance team at Labstat is now much stronger and more capable than before. Your keen eye for talent is very much appreciated. Thank you!
Chief Financial Officer

You are terrific at what you do. I love your approach and would welcome the chance to work with you again. Next time though, I will be asking for our help to fill roles!
Vice President, Laboratory Operations
Dental Implant Provider
I can't thank you enough for the support you provided throughout this full journey. I never would have thought a LinkedIn message back in April would lead me to leave a job and company I'm happy with, move my family to a new state, start a new job and meet so many amazing people... crazy world, but I look forward to the adventure.
SVP Finance
Global Records Information Management Company
I had worked with a number of recruiters both on this search and in the past and what I found incredibly refreshing about Lindsay was the way she made me feel like I was the only candidate she was working with. With so many other recruiters, after the initial conversation, you don’t hear anything at all. That certainly wasn’t the case with Lindsay and her professional yet personal demeanor made it feel as if I had worked with her for a long time. I would definitely recommend her for any recruiting needs.

The website limited me to 200 characters, but I probably could have written a book. Just wanted to say thank you again, from both me and from my family. You truly made a difference in our lives this year. I'm actually on my way to a party with all of my former co-workers tonight, and every time I see them and hear their stories about work, I'm reminded just how lucky I am that you found my resume and helped me to move on to a much better place.

They bring a unique perspective to search having both been in private equity - Bill as CFO and Board Director of multiple PE-backed companies and margaret, with a decade of experience as a Managing Director at Thomas H. Lee Partners.
