Our Story
PHR was founded on the belief that recruiting could be done better. More personally. More precisely. With more care for the people on both sides of every search.
“There is no shortage of recruiting firms. What is rare is a recruiter who genuinely cares about getting it right.”
Alexa Sardinas founded Prime Headhunting & Recruiting, Inc. with a singular vision: to bring a higher standard of care, precision, and partnership to the recruiting industry. As a Certified Search Consultant, she combines deep industry knowledge with a hands-on approach that has made PHR one of the most trusted names in executive search.
Alexa personally leads every client engagement, building relationships that go far beyond a single placement. Her clients trust her with their most sensitive searches. Her candidates trust her with their careers. That trust is something she takes seriously on both sides of every search.
PHR places exceptional talent from support staff and legal professionals through mid-level managers, directors, and C-suite executives, across industries and markets nationwide. From its headquarters in West Palm Beach, FL and its Boston, MA office, PHR serves clients from coast to coast.
Everything we do at PHR is guided by a set of core principles that define how we engage with our clients, our candidates, and each other.
We never flood you with resumes. Every candidate we present has been personally reviewed and vetted. Quality over quantity is not a tagline. It is how we operate on every single search.
We invest in understanding your organization, your culture, and your goals before we begin any search. Our clients are partners, not transactions. That relationship does not end at placement.
Sensitive searches require trusted partners. We protect our clients' strategic confidentiality and our candidates' privacy with the same diligence we bring to every aspect of our work.
We treat every candidate as a professional deserving of respect, honesty, and genuine advocacy. We take the time to understand where you want to go, not just where you have been.
As a certified women-owned firm, we are committed to building diverse, high-performing teams. We believe the best organizations reflect the full spectrum of talent available in the market.
Regardless of engagement model, role level, or industry, our standards never change. Every search, every candidate, every client interaction reflects the same commitment to excellence.
We are not a staffing agency. We are your strategic talent partner, bringing precision, discretion, and unmatched industry fluency to every engagement.
