absolute waste of time

Passed their useless “cognitive” test only because I respond quickly and even got an interview but women double booked, didn’t show up, finally deigned to interview me, was a narc if I ever saw one and clearly knew who she wanted to hire and it wasn’t from crossover. The CEO did use my “real work” ideas in a linked in post though word for word. Second job said waiting for an interview for 2 weeks before telling Me they were not accepting applications on crossover. Then wtf did you let us apply and do the real world assessment with an Ai bot no less? If you want to chase your tail then you’ve found the perfect waste of time vampire scam site. Shame on you all for preying on unemployed people!!

Après plusieurs semaines d’efforts intenses, de tests réussis et de badges obtenus sur la plateforme Crossover, je me suis heurté à une réalité aussi déconcertante que frustrante : tout ce processus n’est qu’un écran de fumée. Crossover promet une approche méritocratique du recrutement, basée sur des évaluations rigoureuses, des badges à débloquer, et un système qui valoriserait enfin les compétences réelles. Ce discours m’a séduit, comme beaucoup d’autres professionnels à travers le monde, convaincus que "le mérite seul suffirait." Mais la réalité est toute autre. Après avoir réussi à deux reprises l’ensemble des évaluations requises pour des postes précis (dont celui de Events & Community Marketing Specialist), ma candidature a été rejetée sans entretien, sans justification, sans explication. À chaque étape, je n’ai eu affaire qu’à une intelligence artificielle, certes polie, mais dénuée de toute capacité à répondre concrètement aux interrogations ou à reconnaître les spécificités d’un parcours. Aucun contact humain. Aucune interaction réelle. Aucune possibilité d’échanger. Et surtout, un discours contradictoire : on nous dit que les tests et badges sont décisifs, puis qu’au final, ce sont d’autres éléments (comme le profil LinkedIn) — non évalués objectivement — qui influencent la décision. C’est un processus opaque, frustrant, et profondément déshumanisé. On ne peut pas prêcher la transparence et la méritocratie tout en dissimulant les vrais critères de sélection. Au final, ce que j’ai vécu n’est pas une expérience de recrutement, mais une opération automatisée de tri, où des profils qualifiés, compétents et motivés sont évacués sans aucune considération, simplement parce que l’algorithme en a décidé ainsi — ou pire, parce que certaines réalités sociales ou géographiques ne collent pas aux préférences non dites. Je partage cette expérience non pas par amertume, mais pour alerter les autres professionnels, en particulier ceux issus de régions sous-représentées, que le rêve d’un recrutement 100 % basé sur le mérite reste encore, ici, une promesse non tenue.

Account verification. I have signed in the account and it is not working. This website is a Scam.

This is a scam, phishing information and training their bots on applicants' data. They post the same jobs over and over and over, for each country there is, then another time, stating unrealistically high salaries. The platform doesn't work, if one assumes that they were truly trying to find talent, it is the most unintelligent system ever. However: I applied for a very high paid executive job - by accident, because they put it in front of my nose on their platform -- WHILE I was searching for another job I had applied for, which I couldn't find anymore!! I had a 1 hour (!) job interview for that high paying job with an AI, who told me, I had passed, lollol, thanks, .. and they would pass on my CV to a human. Never heard back from any human. LOL. So, nobody ever even read my CV. I took their "intelligence" test for fun, not being aware it was relevant to the application (at this stage), but I had NEVER in my life seen one like that, so was unprepared. The time is incredibly short for it. Also, they did NOT ask me, if I might want to take it in MY NATIVE language -- if they are truly interested in my language skills, then it should not be in a foreign language. The feedback was, I passed for the lower paying job, but not for the higher paying one, as if EXPERIENCE and education for that job weren't relevant, but executives were selected based on their ability to pass this kind of test. Absolute bullsxxx. I have worked in assessments for over 15 years, plus I have an IQ of 140+ (depending on the test), therefore I know what I am speaking of when saying that their aptitude tests are a joke and pseudo-scientific. No idea, what they are supposed to be good for - not for finding good matches. I tried to re-apply to the first job I couldn't see anymore on their platform via LinkedIN, and could not proceed, because I replied to one out of 5 questions with "no", - which was not a Yes/No question, but very relative, and not relevant to that job role at all. I could have replied with "yes", as in: yes, I do have SOME experience in it, but am not an expert, and was NOT applying for an expert role in this. In fact, I had never needed that skill ever in my career. Those questions were a trap: So, that was it, I could not proceed. I wrote to their CS about this, and got one automated line, not referring to what I was saying at all. They do not care about applicants who would fit their job roles, whatsoever. In short: they do NOT search for real talent, I think it is a scam to train their bots, by the owner of the company that posts all those jobs in 1000 different ways. If they were looking for people, this platform was not working well at all.

In 2023, I bought CrossOver for $74. When the license expired, I didn’t receive the promised discount for renewal. Instead, CodeWeavers keeps trying to sell me an annual license for the same price again. I understand that they love money very much... and don’t care much about their users... but common sense should be present in any business... otherwise, it just doesn’t work. imho It’s much cheaper to buy an external hard drive, install a second system, and forget their short-sighted, profit-driven sales policy like a bad dream.

Got a random unsolicited text about "your job update" from Crossover Recruitment, I never applied for this company, can only find very limited info online, seems like a massive scam

Scammers, that waste your time
