Crossover appears to be a very technologically advanced outsourcing platform servicing companies seeking the top 1% of candidates who are lured by incredibly high salaries. It utilizes an AI-based application tailored to its customers' needs. However, the application process is a bit questionable. At one point, I was asked to change my computer's security settings in order to allow Crossover to ensure cheating wasn't taking place during the language proficiency assessment. After easily passing the mini-GRE and jumping through the hoops to secure the language proficiency test, I didn't score high enough to complete the application after simply repeating sentences and verbally answering simple questions. Seriously, I've been a language arts instructor for 20yrs. Maybe the AI doesn't care for a Southern accent. Who knows! When I tried to delete my profile, I realized that I didn't have that option and that the link to my resume didn't pull up the PDF but linked back to my hard drive!?! When I did a search to find out how to request the deletion of my entire account, I read multiple complaints about their use of spyware that takes periodic screen shots of your computer screen. What on earth?!?! Beware!

The idea sounds good, but the behaviour is fishy. They offered a job posting with an unusually high salary (about 50% higher than the average) but eliminated my application without reason. So you end up spending hours applying, doing all kinds of non-relevant to the job tests just to be eliminated without any reason.

AVOID APPLYING AT ALL COSTS - Do not be tempted by the fake salaries they mention as most of their jobs are inactive, they make you jump through hoops and go through several aptitude tests that they themselves cannot pass. Once I passed all stages and got to interview stage, they didn't even respond and just send automated responses. The worst part of the process is the job related tasks which they expect you to carry out in impossible timeframes and once that is complete there is no feedback from anyone as to what they reviewed. The biggest con is I tested them with a google sheet with my application response and it was never viewed and yet they claimed to have reviewed the application. Just goes to show how awful they really are.

I really spent age to complete the very very complex profile ... I felt I'm applying for FBA position ... at the end they are worthless ... I strongly recommend anyone to NOT waste his time

to begin with, they are in breach of GDPR (EU and UK data protection) they do not allow the right to be forgotten, or at least they hide it well. They wanted to management consultant for 100k, but the questions came across as a telesales, they did not require any management consultant experience in their selection process. But a 2 years in telecommunication and that was the key requirement....not the industry experience. Just seem sketchy. Trying to remove my data or even correct it, they get server errors. the website seems very basic and has glitches. I really am dissatisfied with the service. I would avoid.

Automated tests disqualify based on tests lacking certification, depth or any sort of practical implications. No serious company should engage with their product at this level of maturity (or lack thereof).

Ridiculous system. Requires you to complete a questionnaire which disqualifies you if you leave the window to prevent cheating. However, I had a chrome update popup appear halfway through and was disqualified. This isn't something I could have predicted or prevented. Appalling UX. Why would any company use this service?

Having applied to a number of roles advertised by Crossover.com, I find their refusal to allow a candidate to apply for multiple advertised roles concurrently insane. It means they could reject the best candidate, not because they are unsuitable, but because they have applied for another role that they suitable for as well! By their approach, a candidate could only apply for maybe 10 roles a year! A very unsatisfactory approach that is detrimental to the hiring company and candidates alike - I recommend avoiding like mad. They also have a personal email address of the recruiter which then bounces - so very unprofessional. One recruiter to avoid as there are a few good ones out there, and this is at the other end of the spectrum.
