Jim Pruitt—President
Jim Pruitt, president of Lyons Pruitt International, made his first placement in the fall of 1975. In 1984, he founded FAXS (First Atlantic Executive Search), which later became Simon & Pruitt after collaborating with Maggi Simon. In 1996, Simon & Pruitt merged with Lyons Associates.

Specializing in financial services, Jim focuses in the corporate finance, accounting, credit, risk and marketing disciplines, and recruiting at all levels up to the C-levels. Jim's clients include Fortune 500 financial service leaders, as well as smaller regional and community banks.

Viewing recruiting as an art, his favorite quote is, "to know is delusional; not to know is insensitive." This applies very much to the inquisitive nature required of all great recruiters in observing and evaluating talent for a client.  

Scott Lyons—Managing Director
Scott Lyons began his career in 1988 as an original member of recruiting firm RBL (the founding company behind OTEC and ultimately HotJobs.com). In 1990, he founded Lyons Associates International, which focused on identifying quantitative finance and technology professionals. In 1996, Lyons Associates merged with Simon and Pruitt to form Lyons Pruitt International. This expanded the practice into the treasury and credit risk management areas.

Scott continues to work in financial engineering, computational finance, quantitative portfolio management and research, and credit risk management, as well as emerging technologies and marketing. He has a BA from Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania.

A quote about Scott from a director of research with a Wall Street investment firm: "When you called to recruit me for one of your clients, I could tell you were a cut above the typical headhunter I encounter. I'd like you to find my replacement as I am moving to a role in the organization with greater responsibility."
