Pinnacle Executive Recruiting Strategic Connections HR Consulting

(Recruiting) I absolutely recommend working with Mary Leonardi on your Executive Recruiting needs. I’ve worked with Mary on three separate occasions, and she has come through for me each time. She approached her work as though she were a member of my team, and as though the hiring decision I made would impact the team she is on too. There is a definite sense of ownership in helping to find the right person for the role that Mary shows in her work. And the partnership didn’t end at the hiring decision. Even years later, Mary continues to build the relationship with our team, and checks in periodically to see how the team that she helped bring together, is functioning. Working with Mary truly feels like a long-term partnership, not just hiring another outside consultant.

PFFCU has used Mary for Executive Recruiting for many years. She possesses an in-depth understanding of the credit union industry. She listens to PFFCU’s business needs and finds candidates that meet the qualifications. Mary is a pleasure to work with, and her professionalism and communication skills are outstanding. Mary is a trusted business partner we will continue to work with. Lisa Girdharry, PFFCU President & CRO.

(Recruiting) Mary is a true professional. She understands the value that placing the candidate with the right company and works tirelessly to do just that. She is a true Human Resource professional who understands people. Her enthusiasm and genuineness shine through in all she does.

(Recruiting) We recently had the pleasure of working with Mary to recruit for an executive leadership position. What stood out most was the time she took to listen and understand our needs and her access to quality candidates from a diverse talent pool. To us, making sure candidates are a good fit for our culture is everything. She connected us with quality leads that complemented our existing leadership team, exemplified our values, and possessed the talent and experience needed to make the experience a win-win. I highly recommend Mary for all your recruitment efforts.

(Coaching) I've known Mary for well over 10 years and there are very few professionals in the CU industry who bring competence to the table with a mix of a very positive attitude and an extremely friendly demeanor. She has assisted our team on executive coaching and the process was very organized and rational with an extremely efficient follow-up system. Highly recommend her for any future collaboration.
