Our professionals have worked in virtually every major business function, across industries, in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Integrating multiple disciplines, these executives, consultants, coaches and trainers bring unique perspective to three principal domains:

1. Change (for an enterprise, business, function)

ISSG is a 14-year-old retainer-based executive search firm that has successfully attracted top talent in the areas of Outsourcing (IT, BPO and BPM), Consulting (Strategy & Technology) and traditional IT functions (CIO, CTO, etc). We have worked effectively with major corporations as well as effectively with venture capitalized start-ups. Executive recruiters typically pride themselves in their ability to recruit top executives, irrespective of the industry. Leaders in outsourcing tell us a different story; outsourcers value what we do because we understand their business. Executive search in outsourcing is what we do.
