Leadership Search with a More Personalized Approach
Through a strategic, high-touch search partnership model, we help organizations identify and secure leadership talent that drives operational excellence, growth, and long-term business impact.
We partner with organizations across Manufacturing, Supply Chain & Distribution, Healthcare, Pharmaceutical & Biopharmaceutical, Private Equity-backed organizations, and Business Services to identify and secure high-impact leadership talent.
Through an exclusive hybrid search partnership model, we take a highly personalized, high-touch approach to each search — combining deep market insight, proactive outreach, and real partnership throughout the hiring process.
Our focus is simple: helping organizations secure leaders who not only align on paper, but who can genuinely drive performance, strengthen culture, and create long-term impact.
Our Philosophy
At ISS, recruiting is never viewed as a transactional process or simply filling an open position. We believe the strongest hires happen through genuine partnership, a deep understanding of each organization’s goals and culture, and a highly personalized approach throughout the search process.
Our focus is not on volume — it’s on identifying leadership talent that aligns both professionally and personally with the organization, creating long-term impact for our clients and candidates alike.
The ISS Difference
Exclusive Search Partnerships: We work through a focused, high-touch search model that allows for deeper partnership, stronger alignment, and a more dedicated hiring process.
Industry & Operational Insight: With years of experience supporting organizations across manufacturing, supply chain, healthcare, pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and private equity-backed environments, we understand the leadership challenges that directly impact growth and performance.
A More Personalized Approach: Every search is approached with genuine partnership, transparency, and consistent communication — not a transactional or volume-driven mindset.
Quality Over Volume: We prioritize alignment, long-term fit, and thoughtful search execution over mass candidate submissions or rushed hiring processes.
Growing Partnerships. Empowering Business. Delivering those who drive it.
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.”
