Why We Exist
“This is a people-to-people process”, Carol Crossdale
We seek to fill roles with candidates that “stick”. Crossdale Search is known for curating short lists of qualified, vetted, sought-after hires to fulfill sought-after in-house and law firm attorney and compliance positions. We’re not interested in checking the box and hoping it works out. We are committed to doing the work to understand the whole organization and the unique qualities of the individuals looking for positions.
Our team develops an in depth understanding and partners with our clients to find the ideal match to the vision, corporate and team culture, and expectations of the role to be filled. We pay great attention to detail and assist in “whole-life-planning” for our candidates to match you to roles that align with your goals today and in the future.
Crossdale Search is knowingly bespoke and intelligently selective. Our unique approach benefits both those who are building teams and professionals with the in-demand human capital and legal/compliance skill sets who are ready to make a move.
In a world increasingly enamored with technology and algorithms, our success goes beyond levels and areas of expertise. Our humanness, candor, integrity, and networks set Crossdale Search apart from the competition.
