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:
The lack of 1:1 high-level, professional service given to busy hiring leaders by their companies' talent acquisition teams, when trying to find and hire leadership talent.
At Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search, we approach every search like a management consultant, with laser-like precision and "strategy."
We audit the external marketplace before the search for talent even begins, to discover and report on where the best talent for the position "lives."
At what companies?
In what industries?
At what levels and titles?
What will be our biggest search challenges?
Next, we prepare a customized "search strategy" for each search, including initial candidate recommendations, to ensure alignment with the hiring leader. To make sure that who we are searching for aligns with the hiring leader's expectations, at this initial phase of the search.
💡Searches always evolve, for many different reasons, and having the experience to pivot and adapt, as needed, is a "must have" when working with C-level hiring leaders, founders, and investors, not a "nice to have."
Once aligned with the hiring team, we "go to market," searching deep and wide using LinkedIn Recruiter, GenAI, and other targeted "channels, to identify top, often "passive" candidates (executives who are not actively job hunting) who match the company's mission-critical business needs, culture, team dynamics, and org chart.
Knowing how to set up a search for success before it even starts is the key to a successful search.
What does success look like?
Success = identifying and presenting multiple, highly-qualified, thoroughly-interviewed candidates for the hiring team to compare and contrast within weeks of beginning the search, not months.
A successful search is a "process." And knowing how to guide not just the hiring team, but candidates, is a skill. I am the hiring team and candidates' dedicated "sherpa" for the duration of the search.
The company leaders I have worked closely with and served throughout my executive search career consider me a strategic business partner. They choose to work with my search firm because they expect exceptional results and rely on me for my domain expertise and "recruiting" leadership.
Most importantly, they rely on me to accurately assess talent -- whether a candidate applied to the job online, was referred by the CFO, or "discovered" during the executive search process.
There is no talent acquisition problem I can't solve, no machine I can't tame or optimize. I lead with data and facts based on the market, not "hot takes."
I've earned a robust global candidate network by delivering timely, thoughtful and professional communications and operating with integrity.
