GBDodgy site to get free work done from prospective employees It feels like this is a fake site, set up to gather free users ideas and data. Similar to other reviews, I sat for hours on end doing spurious tests, until I was subjected to the real work assessment. I then spent several more hours doing a virtual, in depth product customer discovery session. Once I completed that, crossover went absolutely silent and ended up closing the job posting and giving me 0 feedback. Won't make the same mistake again

GBAI in HR instead of Human Reviews? You be the judge! I would say the application process is fairly streamlined and straightforward. Yes, there are tests and practicals to complete, but if you think the job is right for you, why complain? Where I do want to voice a concern is in the review and response category. I got a response after only a couple of hours of completing my final practical exercise telling me I was not selected to move forward for the position I applied for. Yes, a bit of a heart-smasher, but what bothers me is the turnaround time being so fast. This tells me that there is likely not a human reviewing applications even at this stage and that you are being vetted by their in-house (or external!) AI system. If I'm wrong here, please respond. If I am right, I can see how a lot of talented candidates are falling through the cracks, which is a shame. What I would offer is this: IF the applications are being vetted automatically by your HR-AI, THEN I would suggest training the AI to also give applicants constructive feedback on where they erred in their applications, to better improve the chances of repeat applications making it through to next steps in the process.

GBExcellent pay and transparent (if… Excellent pay and transparent (if tough) requirements. The CCAT and hiring pipeline is hard: but it is real and is not a scam. It's hard because Crossover is looking for the very best talent out there. There are literally thousands of applicants a day because the pay is so high.

NLBe suspicious Not having heard before about Crossover I just went into the application process for a VP marketing role completely blank. Sure enough I passed the basic fit, CATT and English language test. But then thing did start to become weird. I had to do a so-called "real work" test. For this I had to write some marketing copy. There were some criteria which you are told about in advance , so I made sure I did hit all of them in my content piece. After I submitted it, I had to wait for over a week to get a message that I only had gotten 1 out of the 3 stars required and my application was rejected for that reason. However, when I checked the document history I could see nobody had looked at it. I just got a bad rating out of nowhere. This feels quite scammy and looking back I guess it all has been a waste of time.

IEDynamic and Rewarding Remote Role I've found my experience to be both challenging and rewarding. Working remotely for 40 hours a week, I've been able to balance my professional and personal life effectively. The job has met and surpassed my expectations in several ways. The flexibility of remote work, combined with a supportive team and management, has been a pleasant surprise. The pay is competitive and certainly more attractive than many local job options. The hiring procedure is thorough, which might be overwhelming for some candidates.
