Crossover for Work Interview Questions

They ask you to complet PLENTY of different forms, to pass plenty of different types of tests BEFORE they REVIEW your CV. That means you gift 3-5 hours of your life in order to they just review your profile. The most awful experience EVER

Series of short tests to determine cognitive abilities, attention to detail and language skills. Also had to do a data analytics test which may be difficult for someone with not experience of excel

The interview process was extremely lengthy and arbitrary. Many of the questions that were asked during our call felt misdirected and overall quite general. Process could have been much shorter.

Never mind the questions or anything, simply stay away They are not worth it Many tests many assignments which will lead to nothing Very bad experience, bad support, not worth it Simple move on

Automated aptitude test, automated language proficiency test, and automated coding screening test. Then followed by an online interview with the team. After receiving an offer, the offer became conditional on another aptitude test.

Initially there are 3 steps of tests. First test pretty straightforward and can anybody pass. The second one is very complex but after several tries during the months I have passed it. But the 3rd step which is creating conclusion for a case is really hard

Crossover has an interesting process where you take some tests, then perform some so-called "real work", then wait to get an interview ... which doesn't happen and the role gets cancelled. A note on the tests; I see lots of people on here complaining the IQ test is hard or silly, and even, shockingly, web sites selling answers to it or whatever. Look, that test is simple pattern matching and I find it relaxing and fun, to be truthful. Just look for the patterns. For instance, one time it's a solid circle, triangle, and ball, then the next line has a hollow triangle, hollow ball ... so the missing one is clearly the hollow circle, and so on. Anyhow, that aside, these tests are kind of fun. The real work section is a farce though. They ask you to put aside several hours to work through things like, e.g., what are the budget abnormalities for an acquired entity. Or where are the bottlenecks in the first call resolution on the help desk. Or, other things. Once they had me watch this video with two atrocious communicators who laboured over how the help desk works. They were so bad I thought they can't be actors and wondered if they were real staff. When I Google'd their names they were actual real high up execs of the company - yet on the video they were hardly the calibre you expect of an executive. They were poor speakers, all kinds of things. Nevertheless, you submit these "real world" tasks and sometimes they get rejected in seconds to minutes. As if somebody has really read it! It's offensive to ask you to spend so much time on something that is free-text and then ignored because ... what? You didn't use a specific keyword? Who knows. And, other times they get approved. Then you wait for someone to review your application ... wait and wait. The Crossover site says the next step after review is an interview. They say if you haven't heard from then in two weeks to ask. You wait ... and then two weeks later submit an enquiry. Oh, nobody gets back to you. Instead they cancel the role !!! I searched and found online that what happens is they don't actually have all these vast quantity of jobs they spam on LinkedIn. No, instead they simply have fake ads to get a pool of talent - and when you get to the "review" part is when they try to put you in some bid process and see if they can pitch you to employees. Crossover says this is the future of work. Yet, it's not. They don't have customers wanting people who have gone through this process. Instead, it's only their own companies like Topogi or Trinity that they are "selling" to. Now, one time the role wasn't cancelled. I did get a 30-minute interview with some guy. 30 minutes for an SVP role. He was late then forgot to turn his webcam on so I was talking to a blank screen for half the time before he realised. Yet, the person he was looking for (his words) was not actually the position description for the role I'd applied for. It was something else. That wouldn't be so bad, except I then had to guess what he was after based on his brief description and a couple of short questions, while being mindful that we only had 30 minutes total and it was hard to go into depth due to the constraint. In the end they didn't offer me this role, and while I'm not surprised, it was really a poor interview experience. They're asking me to prove my value for a role I'd never heard of before with only 30 minutes time total to learn about it and answer some questions? Even though I'd passed all their other tests - oh, except they weren't relevant because the interviewer was after a different kind of person. It's simply that I was in their bid pool - because I applied for a job that was clearly non-existant.

A real waste of my time, hours and hours making online tests for nothing. The recruiting process is a mess. Unreal expectations. If they ask you to waste your time just on the recruiting process, I can't imagine the real job.

After applying on LinkedIn they sent me a link to their website which require over 4 hours of tests before the initial interview. I did the first 2, which were an IQ test and an English language test. Nothing had anything to do with the role. It was completely ridiculous and I stopped before the 3 hour test. If a company wants you to take that much time out of your day they should compensate you.

CROSSOVER FOR WORK IS SCAM! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THE INTERVIEW PROCESS! YOU PASS ALL THEIR TESTS AND THEY CANCEL YOUR APPLICATION PROCESS WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATIONS! I applied for Totogi Lead Data Scientist Role. Answered 3 extremely simple questions on Crossover Platform. Then took Cognitive Aptitude Test, got 46/50 points, meaning my "cognitive score test score is higher than that of 99% of native English college gradutes". I spent 15 minutes for this test. Then took English-Speaking Test, got 8.9/10 points meaning I "can communicate as fluently as a native english speaker, making it the standard for senior customer-facing positions". I spent 15 minutes for this test. Then took Data Science Fundaments Test, got 86.6%, meaning I am "an experienced data scientist". I spent a whole 1.5 hours for this test. Afterwards I passed the application review stage and the status of my application was "looking for an interviewer". Then suddenly my application was rejected. I passed all kinds of test, spent more than 2 HOURS and all I got was "Unfortunately, your application has not been successful, and you are no longer being considered for this role.".
