History
Simpson Associates began in the summer of 1984 as a small consulting firm specializing in retained executive search. Initially, our primary clients were small to medium-sized, privately held companies across diverse industries.
Even four decades ago, it was clear that our clients were committed to improving their businesses. Inspired by their dedication, we introduced advanced and sophisticated assessment capabilities to our search practice. This innovation significantly advanced our work, and clients responded with enthusiastic support.
Originally the business was intended to remain a sole proprietorship. However, a few years ago, we decided to focus on substantial growth. This shift led to great success, partly due to our acquisition of Enhanced Performance Systems, a formerly California-based company specializing in publishing high-end, performance-focused psychological assessments. These tests have long been integral to Simpson Associates, making the acquisition a pivotal moment for our firm, enabling continued development across multiple levels of our executive search practice.
Having a suite of state-of-the-art psychological tools in-house has become a cornerstone of our practice. These tools enable us to deliver precise and reliable assessments, ensuring that our clients make the best hiring decisions. Our unwavering commitment is the basis of our reputation, so it rings true that "Clients come to Simpson Associates when they cannot afford to get it wrong.”
