Adanma A.

IT Consulting

Accounting & Finance

Case Overview

"At a critical time when my team needed to fill a skills gap, Alec rose to the occasion and mobilized the right talent very expeditiously. Alec and his team's ability to listen and respond to client needs was evident from the first day and is testament to their ability to function as reliable business partners. I would certainly consider the Pinnacle Consulting team for my future Finance talent needs."

Alvin P.

IT Consulting

Accounting & Finance

Case Overview

“Pinnacle worked with me to find a new Chief Financial Officer position. I worked directly with Jo Anna Crago. She was outstanding in her ability to find the perfect fit for my work experience and personality. I highly recommend their services to everyone looking for new opportunities.”

Scott

IT Consulting

Accounting & Finance

Case Overview

"Pinnacle placed four consultants with us who completely transformed our finance department. When they arrived, we were facing significant operational challenges and lacked the structure needed to move forward. Their expertise, professionalism, and hands-on approach helped stabilize our team, implement key processes, and elevate our overall performance. Today, our finance function is running at a high level, and we’re in a much stronger position as a business because of it."

Howard S.

IT Consulting

Accounting & Finance

Case Overview

“Having spoken over the years with many firms and recruiters, I can safely say that Brian is the only recruiter I’ve dealt with who didn’t make the process feel like a cattle call. He didn’t just throw out jobs that didn’t fit and I truly appreciated his thoughtful questions, patience, and the way he conducted the conversation with care and professionalism. I have a lot of admiration and respect for how Brian conducts business, and if I were ever in the position of hiring a recruiter, he would be my first choice by far.”

Shan K.

IT Consulting

Accounting & Finance

Case Overview

"I’ve had the privilege of working with Paul, and he is truly exceptional. He has a rare ability to identify top talent and guide them through their journey with care and precision. His conversational and recruiting skills are phenomenal as he connects deeply, understands needs quickly, and responds with laser focus. Paul is more than a recruiter; he’s a mentor and a leader who inspires confidence and growth in others. His ability to combine sharp insight with genuine empathy makes him an invaluable partner to both individuals and organizations."

Nicole S.

IT Consulting

Accounting & Finance

Case Overview

"As a former job seeker who spent nearly five months searching for the right opportunity, I can confidently say that Pinnacle Consulting is unparalleled in professionalism and support. Thanks to their diligence and expertise, I am now in a role that perfectly aligns with my skills and career goals. From a job seeker’s perspective, Pinnacle Consulting is hands down one of the best and most professional agencies. I admit I haven’t always had positive experiences with recruiters, but this process has completely changed my perspective. I wholeheartedly recommend Pinnacle to anyone seeking a recruiter who truly cares about both the candidate and the hiring organization."

Sean G.

IT Consulting

Accounting & Finance

Case Overview

“John is both easy to work with and has a strong understanding of IT. The process was head and shoulders above any other recruiting experience I’ve had. John is just a high-class, straight-forward get you to the finish line and hired guy. I really appreciate the service he provides.”

Shelly K.

IT Consulting

Accounting & Finance

Case Overview

"I have worked with Shannon and her team at Pinnacle Finance for a few years now. I truly mean this when I say they don’t treat you like a number and aren’t just trying to fill a role. Shannon makes sure it will be a fit not just for their clients but candidates as well. I have never felt pressured to take a role. Even after starting any position, Shannon checks in on a regular basis to make sure everything is going well even after the honeymoon period has ended. If you want a recruiter to advocate for you and have your best interests at heart, reach out to Shannon. You won’t regret it!"

Tom

IT Consulting

Accounting & Finance

Case Overview

"When I joined my company I quickly determined I needed to add serious horsepower to my department fast. I was new to Pittsburgh, and knew no one. Colin placed a number of highly skilled consultants in my department who helped me turn it around. Without access to Pinnacle’s talent, I would have failed in my new role."
