Perennial Resources International (PRI) is a full-service search and staffing firm headquartered at 420 Madison Avenue in New York City, whose mission, quite simply, is to serve the personnel needs of its clients. It works through five practices (technology, accounting and finance, administrative services, human resources and insurance) and offers four ways to engage: executive search, direct hire, consulting and temporary staffing, and contract-to-hire. Executive searches can be run on a contingency or retainer basis.
Every candidate is identified, interviewed, screened, tested and reference-checked before being sent to a client, and PRI’s candidates come with “satisfaction guaranteed.” The firm is led by co-founder, president and chief executive Stephen Brown. Account managers are principals and owners of the firm, and all terms and processes are agreed at the start of the relationship. Beyond staffing, PRI AI Advisory helps small and mid-sized businesses decide what to do about artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and technology spend.
