Testimonials
“As a private equity manufacturing group with 12 additional companies in our portfolio, I retained Janis and ISS Executive Search Partners to find key leaders, including a CTO, VP of Human Resources, CEO, and CFO. Janis demonstrated true expertise in understanding the unique requirements of private equity manufacturing, consistently delivering high-caliber candidates aligned with our strategic goals and culture. Her team’s dedication, industry knowledge, and transparent communication have made ISS Executive Search Partners an invaluable partner in building our executive team. I highly recommend them for any organization seeking top-tier leadership talent.”

“When I first began evaluating a change in my career, I spoke with many recruiters from several organizations, and Janis was the only one who truly listened to me and took to heart what I wanted in the next company/role. Her patience shown towards me was second to none as I constantly threw questions her way at each step of the process, and she never showed frustration, quickly communicating a response. I’m sure Janis was working on many openings at that time, but she made me feel as though I was her #1 client for those three months. I continue the partnership now from the other perspective and in the current dark times of recruiting, Janis shines brightly as a top-class executive finder of talent.”

“We were struggling to find an executive who could blend deep technical expertise with the strategic leadership our growth demanded. After many months of trying through traditional channels, ISS Executive came in and completely changed the game. They did not just throw resumes at us- they understood our business, our culture, and delivered candidates we would have never found. We ultimately hired a phenomenal leader through ISS’s recruiting efforts, who is already driving results. I can confidently say that our experience with partnering with ISS Executive has been positive and we look forward to a long term partnership.”
