This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Submission declined on 8 October 2024 by Curb Safe Charmer (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk 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)

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]
