Regions Executive Recruiting LLC

What Regions Executive Recruiting LLC does

Regions Executive Recruiting LLC (DBA Regions Recruiting) is a privately held, boutique executive search firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, founded by Kathy Nunnally Anemogiannis and operating exclusively across the Southeast United States. The firm serves industrial manufacturers of engineered-to-order and configured-to-order products (industrial machinery, capital equipment, automotive, rail, defense, aerospace, building products, automation, agricultural equipment, medical devices) and their B2B distribution partners, with a deliberate specialization in Continuous Improvement (Lean / Six Sigma) talent across operations, supply chain, engineering, HR, finance, and sales functions.

The firm's offering rests on its trademarked "Proven Trusted Talent Acquisition™" five-phase methodology — Discovery, Research and Sourcing, Assessment, Presentation and Selection, and Offer and Onboarding — combined with deep, state-by-state candidate networks across ten Southeast states (AL, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA) and written candidate assessments for every submission. There is no disclosed proprietary technology platform; the core asset is human capital, recruiter relationships, and domain expertise. The product portfolio comprises four services: Engaged/Retained Executive Search (C-suite, VP, Director; 180-day guarantee), Contingency Search (engineers, analysts, project managers; 90-day guarantee), Talent Market Intelligence (compensation benchmarking and talent pool mapping), and Talent Pipeline Build (proactive pipelines for facility expansions).

The revenue model is professional services fees tied to placements: retained engagements require one-third of fee as a non-refundable deposit with the balance due on offer acceptance, while contingency searches are pay-on-hire. Reported outcome metrics include a 96% three-year retention rate on placements, a 7-day average time to benchmark qualified candidates, and 45–90 day retained search timelines. The firm markets through LinkedIn, thought-leadership content (including a 2025 partnership with the Reshoring Initiative on an annual manufacturer reshoring survey), and direct inbound client engagement, with no channel partners or marketplace distribution.
