I launched Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search to fill a void in the talent acquisition marketplace:
The lack of 1:1 attentive, high-level, professional service that company hiring leaders experience when hiring talent for their teams.
I excel at finding, recruiting, and successfully hiring exceptional senior and C-level talent, especially "passive" talent.
I deliver results, multiple highly-qualified candidates, within weeks of starting a search.
How?
Because I know what I'm doing and hold myself accountable.
I approach each search I am retained to work on with laser-like precision. I call this "strategy," much like how a management consultant operates.
Before a search begins, I do an "audit" of the external marketplace to discover where the best talent for one senior- or C-level role "lives." I share my findings with the hiring manager and develop a "search "strategy," setting, the search up for success. from Day One. High-quality results + timely completion.
I employ LinkedIn Recruiter, GenAI and many other databases and "channels" to find executives who match the mission-critical needs of the business as well as a company's unique culture, team dynamics, and org chart.
I understand the many "external" factors that influence the hiring process, including geopolitics, regulation, and M&A.
I anticipate what "could" go wrong and know how to avoid common pitfalls that can delay the search or sabotage a successful hire.
Most importantly, I know how to guide high-performing hiring managers, their HR partners, and investors through the entire search and/or hiring process. I act as their "sherpa."
The company leaders I work with and serve consider me a strategic business partner. They often rely on me for my subject matter, industry, and functional job expertise -- across many job functions and industries. And I rely on them for theirs. It's a partnership.
Most importantly, they rely on me to accurately assess talent -- whether the executive applied to the job online, was referred by the CFO, or "discovered."
Net net: there is no talent acquisition problem I can't solve, no machine I can't tame, and I strive to deliver exceptional results.
How do I measure my performance?
My KPIs are the executives I find, recruit, and hire, and what they go on to accomplish at their employers and future employers. I follow their careers closely.
