I applied for a senior VP role and am now being chased to complete online tests, assessments and other information but no information on the role! Is there a role, who knows? Is it bait an switch ...who knows? Imho next step is to tell the candidate about the role not obtain personal information. Not impressed.
As described by others, the company uses online assessments to weed candidates at all levels. It's totally impersonal and this type of exclusion (based on quasi-scientific web-app test results) smacks of discrimination rather than the espoused ideal of only hiring 'Top Talent'.
There are two parts of Crossover. One is a regular offshoring, they hire underpaid developers in third-world countries, put spyware on their PC and force them to work long hours for peanuts. This is well known and I don't think anyone applies to Crossover anymore, unless they are fresh grads from Salvador or something.
But there is another part, which is far more funny! They find you and offer a position with a made-up title (SVP of technical something) and insane salary ($200 / hour!) - note that their recruiters are also underpaid slaves from third-world countries and they have their quota to fill or get fired, so they are very insistent.
As a part of application you have to pass a technical quiz, make some presentations, videotape yourself talking etc. Don't worry about this part. When you put it on a cloud drive, turn on tracking and you'll notice that nobody even opens your video or presentation.
If you do your technical quiz well, they'll try bait and switch - fail you quickly and offer a low-paid technical position. If they don't think they can switch you, you'll just become a number in their list of "top talents" they show to investors when they raise money to acquire one more dying software company.
Don't waste your time. There is no job.
