About us.
Where driven people cross, successful businesses florish
Every ambition starts with the right people.
A bigger goal, a new market, a strategic pivot, a scaling challenge,… it all comes down to talent. At Cross International, we believe people are the true engine of progress.
We are the partner of choice for thoughtful, high-impact recruitment and executive search, trusted to go far beyond the CV to truly understand people, context, and culture.
With a pragmatic, hands-on approach, a strong BeNeLux network and global reach through our international partners, we connect talent not just to roles, but to purpose, performance, and long-term impact.
We identify and develop the experts and leaders who make things happen, and help you shape what comes next. Whether you need strategic hires, interim leadership, or support with embedded recruitment, talent development or leadership advisory & consulting - we’re by your side.
From specialists and middle managers to senior leaders.
From the C-suite to the boardroom.
Across functions. Across industries.
Always putting people at the heart. Always with impact.
Whether you’re scaling, transforming, completing or strengthening your team, success starts with the people you bring in, empower, and develop. At Cross International, we support every step of that journey through our 4 connected services.
Our services.
Contact us for more info01.Executive Search & Talent Acquisition
At Cross International, we specialize in executive search for senior management, C-suite and board level positions, as well as in the recruitment of specialists and mid-management profiles. Talent cannot be put in reigns, but they can be invited to be a part of working towards goals they believe in themselves. That is why we do not chase heads, but rather inspire minds. And that is why we talk to candidates about their careers, not just a job. At Cross International, we lead people away from the war for talent and towards the crossroads where they can meet and help each other grow and create.
02.Recruitment Solutions
More and more clients asked for hands-on recruitment support, which led to the creation of our RPO offering (Recruitment Process Outsourcing). What started as temporary reinforcement has evolved into a broader and more flexible service portfolio that helps organizations recruit faster and smarter. Today, we combine RPO, Recruitment as a Service (RaaS) and Executive Search as a Service (ESaaS). Three complementary models designed to match each client’s reality and provide the right balance between in-house expertise, scalability and impact. With this service suite, we cover every stage of the recruitment process: from defining the vacancy and selecting candidates to assessment, negotiation and onboarding. We can support organizations through a fully integrated solution or via modular services, depending on their needs and internal capacity.
03.Fractional Leadership & Interim Management
Permanently filling key positions is not always necessary or simply not possible in the short term. In the meantime, it is important to keep the organization running smoothly. That is where our interim managers come in. They provide temporary, experienced leadership to keep the organization on track. Our senior experts ensure continuity in a transition period. They can be deployed quickly and lead change in the right direction by building on existing strengths. Interim managers take on temporary operational leadership, while fractional leaders apply their strategic expertise on a part-time or project basis. Both models provide tailored, experienced leadership with speed, flexibility, and maximum impact.
04.Leadership Advisory & Development
Organizations grow with the vision of the people who lead them. More and more clients want not only to find strong leaders, but also to develop their own. Together with our specialized partners, we offer a comprehensive Leadership Development portfolio: assessment centers, development centers, hybrid leadership development tracks, executive coaching & mentoring, cultural due diligence, and tailor-made programs that help leaders grow in line with their organization’s strategy and culture. In addition, we support companies with strategic advice and consulting on leadership and organizational challenges. Our services include change management and organizational restructuring, succession planning, board composition and governance, HR training & learning programs, and outplacement. At a broader business level, we also provide strategic soundboarding, startup services, and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), as well as employer branding and support for international growth. In short, a fully integrated approach to strengthening leaders, teams and organizations – sustainable, focused, and with real impact.
'The understanding of our international start-up/scale-up needs in deep tech and the flexible professional unburdening in executive search and HR services support make Cross International an esteemed partner for our ventures.'
