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

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

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

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]
