ABOUT KAREN SHNEK LIPPMAN
I launched Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search to fill a void I observed over and over again in the talent acquisition marketplace:
Timely, high-quality results.
Company hiring leaders -- CEOs, COOs, CROs, CMOs, Presidents, company founders, heads of product and digital transformation -- they weren't seeing highly-qualified candidates for their open positions.
They shared the same hiring challenges with me over and over again:
"HR posted the position three months ago and we haven't seen any viable candidates."
"Our internal recruiters don't know how to recruit VP and C-level talent."
"The search firm told us they've exhausted the (CITY OR REGION) market. They can't find any candidates in the area."
And my personal favorite ...
"Our head of talent acquisition hired two different retained search firms @ $150,000 per search, and neither search firm delivered any candidates. I had to hire a search firm myself, and take the money out of my management consultant's budget."
At Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search, we present multiple, highly-qualified, thoroughly assessed and interviewed candidates per position, within weeks of beginning a search.
Our goal is to present the hiring leader with multiple high-potential candidates to compare and contrast, not just 1-2.
We excel working on high-stakes searches and embrace the challenge of finding specialized or mutli-hyphenate talent for complex, often hard-to-fill, and/or confidential positions.
Most important, we treat every person on the hiring team, as well as the candidates we identify, engage and assess, like "valued customers."
The talent we find and recruit doesn't just match a position title and compensation. Each executive we present is fully capable of solving unique business challenges -- whether the goal is driving revenue growth through subscriptions or advertising, product innovation, customer experience, customer acquisition, culture change, improved cross-functional, internal or external communications, or regulatory in scope.
We audit the external marketplace before the search even begins to discover where the best talent for one singular, often specialized position "lives."
We prepare a customized "search strategy" per position -- to ensure alignment amongst the hiring team and continue to manage expectations through consistent, clear and accesssible communications, throughout the search.
We search far and wide for the best candidates and are deeply specialized in recruiting "passive" talent (💡"passive" means executives who are often gainfully employed and not actively job hunting).
We use many targeted "channels" and databases to find what we're looking for, customized for every search. One size does not fit all -- especially for senior-level and specialized positions. Knowing where and how to look is critical and most importantly, how to assess talent.
We anticipate what can happen along every stage of the search process and that experience is the key to a successful search. Getting lucky 🍀is not a viable nor smart search strategy.
What does a successful search look like?
Finding the executive that the entire hiring team is excited to hire, and the executive is equally excited to join the company.
Every executive search is a "process" and understanding how to guide all company stakeholders through that process is an art. A skill.
