Leadership

In Good Company

Binnie Held

Founder

Binnie Held

Binnie’s been active in the industry since the 1970s. As a stylist and photographer’s rep — not to mention the wife of a successful creative director — she developed a love for agency life and respect for the work. Inspired to join a creative recruitment firm, her caring, earnest approach helped her find winning solutions for mainstays of Madison Avenue.

Capitalizing on this momentum, she launched Held & Lloyd in 1982. From a portfolio-strewn office on Lexington Ave to Held & Lloyd’s current home near Columbus Circle, Binnie’s genuine desire to help candidates find the optimum job has been our guiding principle.

Co-Founder

Adam Lloyd Beckerman

With an MFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts under his belt, Adam spent the early-80s as a playwright and sportswriter. But with mouths to feed, he took to placing friends in advertising jobs and found himself a career. Nearly 40 years later, Adam’s enthusiasm for media and communications, as well as finance and the arts, empowers his work plan.

He’ll challenge candidates as they pursue career goals and actively engage clients seeking a coherent hiring strategy. Infusing thought into every aspect of the search process, he helps everyone he works with attain success beyond their expectations.

Our Recruitment Manifesto

Making the perfect placement requires a comprehensive understanding of the situation. To gain such knowledge, we assess current needs, organizational goals, competition, and company culture. The result is a process rooted in strategy, deep thought, and creativity.

Intangibles such as honesty and intuition bring an extra dimension to the search. By deploying these core principles and leveraging our extensive database of resources, we achieve results that regularly exceed expectations and keep our clients coming back.

And this isn’t our first rodeo. Over the last 40 years, we’ve sourced exceptional candidates for ad agencies, digital shops, Fortune 500 companies, and start-ups.
