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: Lack of useful references (LinkedIn is useless as a references) plus tone make this look almost like a corporate brochure 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:10, 2 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.
History
[edit]Crossover was founded by Andy Tryba[1] in 2014 in response to the growth of cloud computing and connectivity, which made remote work more feasible. The company has since recruited contractors for various technical and non-technical roles, emphasizing a remote-first recruitment strategy.
Company is known for hiring software developers, but also recruits 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.[2]
Since 2023, the company has adopted a strict AI-first approach.
According to Zippia, Crossover’s revenue was $12.1M in 2023.[3]
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.
The company promotes a remote-first employment model, aiming to facilitate global hiring by connecting tech professionals with employers worldwide.[4]
Crossover's operations are supported by ESW Capital and it powers the global workforce for their 150+ tech companies, including several Fortune 500 brands.[5] Their largest client is Trilogy.
Crossover has a proprietary tool, WorkSmart, which monitors and tracks employee activities on their computers. The tool has been criticised as intrusive and a source of anxiety for workers, and the tracking software not counting time spent working away from the computer have resulted in employees not being paid for their working time.[6][7]
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.[8]
