Jess Lipson
Jess Lipson has spent 20+ years doing one thing really well: finding the right people and building the kind of workplaces where they actually want to show up.
As the founder of JBL Consulting, she's worked with marketing agencies and small businesses at every stage, helping them hire smarter, build stronger cultures, and figure out the people stuff that keeps most business owners up at night. She covers everything from talent acquisition and recruitment to benefits, compensation, and the harder-to-define (but equally important) culture piece.
At RenThread, Jess brings that same approach to small businesses ready to make their first junior marketing hire. She finds the right person, helps bring them on the right way, and sticks around to make sure the whole thing actually works, not just on paper, but in practice.
Because a great hire isn't just about filling a seat. It's about setting someone up to do the best work of their career. And that's kind of her thing.
Testimonials
Shawn Cordner
Chief Marketing Officer at Amplix “Hiring talent is one of the most critical and difficult things a small business owner can do. The right talent can propel your business forward at light speed, but hiring the wrong people can drag you down and cost you untold time, money, opportunity cost, and frustration. Jess took the pain and risk out of the process for me by finding and screening candidates which ultimately led me to hiring two of my most strategic employees that had the longest tenure and greatest impact on my business.
Her deep experience and extensive network quickly brought me incredible candidates. Her intuition for people and understanding of my business helped guide my decisions. The outcomes were extraordinary. In addition to recruitment, she helped me manage other aspects of HR including policy, terminations, and building a culture woven from common vision and passion for the work we did and the clients we served.”

“Jess is a true leader in her industry. She was the core of so much at our agency. She kept the team moving along year after year, making it feel effortless and like a family. Jess is a perfect read of the room, even remotely, and can identify when a team member needs to talk, when they may need help, and when they just need a check-in.

“Jessica helped my small, growing agency for 3 years by recruiting and scaling our team of marketers, SEO experts, and HubSpot professionals. She was a critical partner to the business and without her, we would have been lost.
Jessica is down-to-earth, yet knows all aspects of HR and recruitment. She was a key asset to my growing business, and I'm lucky to have gotten the chance to partner with her. Her collaborative approach and intuition made working with her easy and a joy!”
