History
Simpson Associates got its start in the summer of 1984 as a small consulting firm specializing in retained executive search. The primary client focus was small to medium-sized, privately held companies that encompassed a diverse industry group.
It was rather obvious, even three decades ago, that client companies were working hard to improve their businesses. And if it was good enough for our clients to be diligently working on development and improvement, it was equally good enough for us. To that end, we introduced an advanced and sophisticated assessment capability to the search practice. It was a demonstrable way to move the practice forward. And clients responded with a resounding endorsement.
The original intent was to keep the business as almost a sole proprietorship. Then, a few years ago, the decision was made to redirect and specifically focus on growing the business substantially. To that end, we have enjoyed great success, in part due to the recent purchase of Enhanced Performance Systems, formerly a California-based company that specialized in publishing very high-end, performance-focused psychological tests — in fact, the very ones that had long been in use here at Simpson Associates. This was an important acquisition for the firm — one that will allow continued development on multiple levels of our thriving search practice.
Having the utility of owning, in-house, a basket of state-of-the-art psychological tools has become an important cornerstone of the practice — one that has allowed us to completely stand behind the statement that, “Clients come to Simpson Associates when they cannot afford to get it wrong.”
