ABOUT KAREN SHNEK LIPPMAN
I am a retained Executive Recruiter, hired exclusively by companies to proactively identify, recruit, engage, interview, and hire, exceptional senior and executive-level talent that matches a company's business, culture, and revenue goals — present and future.
I have been working in executive search for 20+ years with clients and candidates from almost every industry imaginable from media and entertainment, CPG, and luxury global hospitality, to telecommunications, transport logistics, and wireless.
Before becoming a recruiter, I worked in strategic communications at some of the world's leading "brands," including Edelman, Tavern on the Green, and Vaseline (Chesebrough-Pond's — once part of Unilever). My search firm is my second entrepreneurial venture — I launched my own PR agency in Miami Beach when I was 27 years old, publicizing some of the region's top chefs, restaurants, and hotels, to the global and national media.
Between my two careers, I have over 32,000 first-degree LinkedIn connections and a robust, global network of executives and business leaders. I use a host of AI-driven databases, apps, tools, and websites, to identify "the right" talent, especially the "rising stars" I'm known for.
I have worked with companies from many funding models (seed, Series A-D, private equity, publicly traded, privately-owned) and understand the different stages of a company's growth. How factors such as emerging technologies, shareholders and investors, legislation and regulation, geopolitics, and other market dynamics, can directly affect and influence a company's staffing needs, current and future — the company's talent "road map."
I have recruited for almost every corporate and job function under the Sun, from CTO to research and design directors. I am deeply specialized in recruiting corporate communications (PR), content, marketing, and finance executives, along with all adjacent job functions such as social media (paid and earned), digital marketing, strategic partnerships, business development/sales, data and analytics, and audience and product development.
I understand how to represent a company in the marketplace and communicate effectively to high-potential, senior-level executives, especially "passive" candidates - those not actively engaged in a job search.
I am highly adept at compensation negotiations, best employment and labor practices, and the steps required to arrive at and formulate an accepted offer.
I produce multiple highly-qualified, interested, and engaged candidates, within weeks, not months or years. I can spot "red flags" that often delay the search process, from miles away.
Working directly with a Company's Hiring Manager as well as HR, I manage the entire recruitment and hiring process for each search — from candidate identification through successful hire. I view my role as being a trusted "partner" to the Hiring team.
Most important, I treat everyone I interact with during the entire search process with kindness, professionalism, and respect. I operate with a high degree of integrity, intelligence, and transparency.
And last but not least, I absolutely love what I do!
PS — that's my trusted office mate and pandemic rescue, Diesel, on the right. Many of you already know him from our video chats!
