We are pleased to announce that FENIX SEARCH has signed a memorandum of partnership with the Croatian–Slovak Chamber of Commerce (CHSOK) – an organisation that has been strengthening business relations, supporting investments and connecting companies between Slovakia and Croatia for more than 15 years.
🔗 CHSOK – official website: https://www.chsok.sk
With this step, FENIX SEARCH becomes an Ambassador for HR and Executive Search for companies operating in Croatia, Slovakia, the wider Western Balkan region, and for those planning expansion into these markets.
🤝 Why was this partnership formed?
CHSOK has a strong reputation in the region. It supports companies in identifying new business and investment opportunities, helps them navigate local legislation, economic conditions and the investment environment of countries that are becoming increasingly attractive to Czech and Slovak businesses.
FENIX SEARCH has long supported industrial and manufacturing companies in their growth by filling key managerial and expert roles through our direct Executive Search, providing Interim Management, and setting up HR processes within HR Outsourcing.
By combining the expertise of CHSOK and FENIX SEARCH, this partnership opens doors for companies to new markets and to the talent essential for successful expansion.
✅ What we bring to companies as HR and Executive Search Ambassador
Within this partnership, we focus on supporting companies that:
- already operate in Croatia, Slovakia or the Western Balkan region,
- are considering entering these markets,
- need experienced leaders capable of driving growth and stabilising teams in a new environment,
- are seeking expert HR advisory for expansion or reorganisation.
✅ We help companies:
- identify key managers and experts with local knowledge and international experience,
- set up HR processes that support growth in a new market,
- ensure cultural and managerial fit for local team leadership,

- minimise expansion risks through high-quality selection of people.
This way, we provide companies with end-to-end practical support – from market intelligence to building a strong local management team.
💡 Why are companies expanding to Croatia and the Western Balkans?
The region has been growing and modernising consistently across sectors such as:
- manufacturing,

- IT and services.
For Czech and Slovak companies, it offers:
- a culturally close market,
- more accessible workforce in certain industries,
- opportunities to expand production or logistics beyond the domestic market,
- a stable environment within the European Union

However, success in expansion depends on having the right leaders on the ground – professionals who understand local specifics and can guide the company through growth and change. And this is where FENIX SEARCH plays a key role.
