About
A family business that recruits for family businesses.
Crossley Staffing is owned and run by Jacob and Joy Crossley in Marietta, Georgia. We recruit for a small number of American family-owned companies, and we intend to keep doing it for a long time.
The owners
Jacob Crossley
Co-owner and Managing Partner
Jacob leads client relationships and searches. Before recruiting, he spent fifteen years as a software engineer, and he has recruited since 2014. That background is useful in industries where products combine machinery, controls and software, and where the best candidates can tell when a recruiter does not understand the work.

Joy Crossley
Co-owner and Managing Partner
Joy leads Crossley Staffing's federal work, including proposals, awards and contract management, and runs HR and finance for the company.

What we believe
Relationships over volume. We would rather serve a few clients well for many years than many clients briefly.
Candor is a service. Clients and candidates both deserve the truth about the market, the role and the fit.
Knowledge should compound. What we learn in one search should make the next one better.
Recruiting is a real profession. We want working at Crossley Staffing to be a respected, well-paid, long-term career.
Where we are headed
We are building Crossley to be an enduring, family-controlled company, the same kind of business we serve. Recruiting and staffing are how we participate in our industries today. Over time, we expect the knowledge and relationships we build to make us more useful to the companies in them.
[Optional: a short paragraph in Jacob and Joy's own words about why they started Crossley Staffing, and the founding year]
Selected recruiting experience
Proof, shown carefully.
We keep current client relationships confidential. What we can share is a small set of examples from Jacob's recruiting career, each labeled with the company, the kind of roles, his part in the work and when it happened. Experience at earlier employers is shown as exactly that, not as a list of Crossley Staffing clients.
[Jacob to choose and confirm 3 to 6 examples, with permission where needed. Short written outcomes work better than logos alone.]
