Poor choice for employer branding and reputation Awful experience. Spent 3 hours, qualifying positively across 5 stages for a job application. 5 mins after I completed after those 3 hours, I was declined and the autoresponder shared that I was not a fit for the role. A huge waste of candidate's time, and a poor reflection on employers. Never use this as an employer.

Learning in high Optempo I have learned so much working for this company and really love their data based conclusions. I have worked for other organizations where decisions were taken on a whim and this company has a clear direction. The Optempo is very high which can be stressful but the pay, fully remote position, time flexibility, and professional development make it worth it.

AI 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.

Crossover - Top 1% talent from around the world I was selected by Crossover last year and I have been working there since. I failed the test once and got selected on my second try. There is very less job security because you are competing with the top 1% best talent in the world. Just because you were not selected does not mean the company is not legit. If you gave up means you could have never made it through training in this company. I love working there because it challenges me to give my best every day I log in to work. I look forward to excelling in the current role and try for the next level. There is no consideration that you work there when applying for another role. Everyone has a fair chance at being selected. I hope to work there until my contract lasts.

Be 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.
