I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Crossover for Work (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Nov 2018
Interview
The online recriting process was very fast, until I reached interview stage.
Then I had:
interview with the CEO
interview with a peer
- 6 week no response
interview with the CEO
preparation of a strategic presentation for a telco operator
interview with the CEO and a sales person
- then 2 references were asked to be interviewed
interview with a potential peer
The whole process took from July, 5 until November, 15.
I was informed, after managing it to the first interview that only two out of 360 reached that stage.
So the promise that 2% of the best in the process a hired is nothing else but hot air.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Crossover for Work (Minsk) in Jul 2018
Interview
It was an online hiring event where Crossover team introduced a procedure and then provided a link to proceed with the tests.
There were technical questions related to the job specialty to choose the right answer from the given options. Then you had to record your audio explanation about the 3 key features which are your best skills for the desired job.
After that there were 4 steps with professional questions where you had to present either your solution or comment or advice as answers. Questions were interesting but mostly too general to give really exact answers or advices.
After followed a request to record a short 2.5 minutes audio where you had to speak to a Marketing director of an East-European wireless carrier to find out her considerations about marketing and subscribers growth intentions.
After all there was a Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test (CCAT)with 50 questions and 15 minutes to answer maximum of those.
Now all results are under analysis and within a week the qualified applicants will be invited for an online interview with the HR specialist of the hiring company
After this the selected candidate will be asked for a real interview to sign a contract
Complicate but fare!
