PRL International

PRL International is a retained executive search firm headquartered in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, serving Pittsburgh, Western Pennsylvania, and clients nationally. Led by Managing Partner Philip Lamb, we bring 30 years of recruiting experience to every search.

We specialize in placing senior leaders in engineering, energy, oil and gas, healthcare, technology, and finance. Our clients engage us when the role is critical, the wrong hire is not an option, and they need a partner who knows this market.

Retained search means one thing: your search gets our full attention. We work a limited number of engagements at a time, Philip Lamb works every search personally, and we do not hand off to junior staff after the contract is signed. We identify, qualify, and present the right candidates — not volume.

Every placement is backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee. If the candidate does not work out within three months, we run a replacement search at no additional fee.

PRL International is a member of NPAworldwide, giving clients access to a global network of independent recruiting firms when a search requires broader reach.

If you are preparing to fill a senior role, we offer a confidential search briefing — an honest conversation about the role, the market, and what the search will realistically require before you commit.
