Why retained search?

Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search is a retained executive search firm.  

Companies turn to retained search when they are struggling to find the "right" candidates for their senior-level and often, specialized and/or technical positions. 

Retained search is a highly targeted type of search that yields excellent results, especially when there are multiple stakeholders involved in the hiring and selection process such as boards, consultants, and investors.

In retained search, we understand the marketplace for talent, especially "passive" talent -- executives who may not be "looking" for a new role -- actively job hunting.

 Armed with data and databases of highly-qualified candidates, we "find" and interview all of the most qualified candidates and presenting to the hiring team, the ones who most closely match the open position.

We serve as an extension of the Company's internal Talent Acquisition or HR team, serving as a true  "partner" throughout a search, managing all communications with both candidates and the hiring team which often includes consultants and investors.

Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search is a domain expert in multiple job functions, industries and ecosystems from advertising, media and entertainment, fintech, health and wellness, and hospitality to premium hardware, software and cloud.

If you need to hire a business leader who can really drive change and solve complex business challenges, there is no better option than retained search.
