Lauren Liebler Brown

“Having worked for NYC-based fashion companies for years now, I have dealt with countless recruiters, both of the in-house as well as the agency variety - and nine times out of ten, I have encountered what can only be described as a general and overwhelming ineptitude in executing the core competencies of their chosen field. This was not the case from Lauren Liebler. I had first been approached by Ms. Liebler in July 2013 with an opening she was working on with a preeminent luxury fashion startup. Having walked me through the job description in detail and endured two lengthy calls with me to ensure I knew all details to make a sound decision, I ultimately decided that the opportunity was not for me. As with any recruiter, I had been precise and exacting in my requirements with Ms. Liebler, and as a result, expected her response to my decision to follow the general format of other recruiters - to retreat into the ether of mediocrity, never to be heard from again. INSTEAD, she thanked me for the opportunity to learn more about my preferences and motives, and said that she would be back in touch again when something more appropriate became available. Months later, she did in fact resurface - this time, with something pretty damn compelling: a more expanded role with a venerable luxury fashion house for which I desired to work since the start of my career. It was compelling not simply because it was a great company, but because it was evident that Ms. Liebler had actually listened to and processed the priorities. She remembered it all and ventured back out to the marketplace in order to find that perfect position that would get me to leave a job with which I was completely satisfied at the time. Ms. Liebler created the environment that enabled honest discussion about promotion, pay, and benefits so she could get me everything I was looking for. She went to bat for me on every level and delivered on every level. Due to her diligence and strategic work, she was able to negotiate and secure an offer for me that was so compelling based on my short-term and long-term objectives that I had no choice but to readily accept. Nearly a year later, I am happy to say that the reality of the offer actually lived up to Ms. Liebler's hype. I quickly hit my stride and now find myself in a place that is delivering on all the levels I had hoped for: as an institution where I can work out my intellectual, strategic, and creative ideas in a position of influence and oversight. Long story short, I love my job. My current situation is verifiable proof that you can work in a job where you've yearned to be and Lauren Liebler is likely going to be the person to put you there if you're lucky enough to have her in your corner. To sum, hats off to Ms. Liebler for her tirelessness, intelligence, congeniality, and genuine concern for the candidates she takes on. JBCStyle, hang on to her for as long as you possibly can - she's certainly a diamond in the rough.”

“I wish I can find 10 million more Laurens in the world and have them work at JBCStyle. That is all I need to say!!!”
