Doing our homework upfront and understanding your needs gets us off in the right direction faster. Sure we have a database to mine. But we also capitalize on our extensive knowledge of your industry and our intuition based on over 20 years in the business. We continually track the best and brightest career paths. You may know the perfect candidate. You may have an offer you feel they can’t refuse.

At Lipson & Co., our evaluative process can identify what will motivate a candidate in a way that will make your offer the right advancement to their career. That’s because we don’t use a cookie-cutter approach to executive search. We study your corporate culture. We assess a candidate’s needs. We make a point of understanding the intricacies of the position aside from the usual parameters that define the job. We then put this into perspective so that it is meaningful to a candidate. The tighter the constraints on prospective candidates, the better we like it. Because it helps us to be more specific in the candidates we present.

  • Rarely are exceptional individuals actively looking; they must be sought out.

  • We also evaluate all prospects that have been developed through our clients’ efforts.
    
    
• We interview candidates, in person, whenever possible.
  
  
• We conduct reference checks by speaking directly with individuals who have been in the position to evaluate the candidate’s job performance. Written references are submitted for all candidates who are finalists for the position.
  
  
• After final candidate interviews are conducted by the client, we assist in negotiating the terms and conditions of employment. Candidates not selected are informed in a diplomatic fashion.
