Draft:Crossover (company)

  • Comment: I should clarify: the Forbes and NYT articles don't show notability on their own, but they are the only independent and secondary sources in the draft. bonadea contributions talk 14:40, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: The NYT source is OK and I think the Forbes ones are as well, but the information in those sources was not used at all in the draft. Perhaps because they level scathing criticism against Crossover. I added a very little bit in the sentence supported by the NYT source, but if this is to become an article all the promotional hype and jargon has to go, and the focus should be on what can actually be sourced in independent, secondary, reliable sources. bonadea contributions talk 14:17, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Comment: Needs more sources independent of Crossover itself. Please read WP:SIRS for details on the kind of sourcing Star Mississippi 17:31, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Crossover is a private, global recruitment company specializing in full-time remote job placements. The company focuses on hiring highly skilled tech professionals and other roles across various industries worldwide.

History

[edit]

Crossover was founded in 2014 by Andy Tryba, following his work at Intel and his advisory role to President Obama’s Council[1]. He launched the company in response to the growth of cloud computing, which made remote work more feasible[2]. The company has since recruited contractors for various technical and non-technical roles, using a remote-first recruitment strategy.

Crossover is known for hiring software developers, but also recruits AI-engineers[3], customer support, finance, sales, marketing, education, and executive leadership positions.

In 2021, the company registered the ‘Crossover’ trademark in the United States, covering its recruitment services.[4]

According to Zippia, Crossover’s revenue was $12.1M in 2023.[5]

Operations

[edit]

Crossover operates a recruitment model that focuses on skills assessments over traditional CVs and cover letters, utilizing AI-powered tests to evaluate candidates’ capabilities.

Crossover's operations are supported by ESW Capital, founded by Joe Liemandt[6], and power the global workforce for their tech companies.[7][8] Their largest client is Trilogy.

Crossover has a proprietary tool, WorkSmart, which monitors and tracks employee activities on their computers. The tool has been criticized as intrusive and a source of anxiety for workers, and the tracking software not counting time spent working away from the computer.[9]

Community Reach

[edit]

The "Out of Office" series is produced by Crossover on YouTube.

Crossover publishes a newsletter on LinkedIn, with 2.4 million subscribers, ranking it among the top 50 on the platform.[10]
