I have always wanted to have a career where I could leverage my deep interest in applied psychology – talking to people, understanding what drives them and helping them grow. At Ishwa I get a chance to do this every single day – understanding requirements for clients’ leadership positions and mapping them to the potential talent pool all the while helping both sides to grow exponentially.

Akanksha Barnwal

Meeting and building relationships with my clients, mentoring young professionals, finding the best candidate possible for every opportunity, seeing my placements flourish – these are the reasons why I love recruiting

Jay Kumar

The thing I love most about being in the search industry is that it gives me the opportunity to learn about a variety of industries and get to know different kinds of people. I am passionate about digging deep to get into the skin of the role and using my understanding of the industry -it’s structure & hierarchy to find the perfect candidate for the role.

Kavita Mishra

A career comeback after a long gap and that too with a sales/marketing background, meant I had to start from scratch and learn everything a fresh. I thought I would be a square peg in a round hole, but it’s been quite the opposite. I love everything about search, starting from the excitement when you begin work on a new role all the way to the pangs of nervousness during the closure process.

Namrata Singh

I love baking. A typical executive search process is not that different from trying out a new recipe. You keep adding and removing different ingredients until you find the perfect mix for the perfect cake or in this case, the perfect candidate. Even after so many years in the space, I love the excitement of working with clients to solve tough searches.
