I applied online. I interviewed at Crossover for Work
Interview
You are expected to do a test that is over 6h long before you even get to the interview phase or a recruiter looks at your CV. This is highly disrespectful of candidates' time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The test is set up like this:
Basic Fit Check: 5 minutes
Skills Assessments: 2 hours 15 minutes
Real Work Assessments: 4 hours
Your results are screened and then maybe you get a 30-minute interview.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Crossover for Work (Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore) in Dec 2023
Interview
I applied online with a CV and tailored cover letter and some hours later received two automated emails asking me to register online.
I have never heard of such a time consuming hiring process as the following.
Listen to this madness.
First you create an account and watch a short video where it says they only hire the top 1% of people and basically pride themselves on putting you out.
Then they want you to do a skills assessment for 2 hours 15 mins and THEN "real work assessments" for 4 hours!!
Then, presumably if they like you after a whole day of labour doing that, they interview you.
Salary is listed in USD but was visible to me in Europe, there is no conclusive word about whether they would be able to hire me from my region anyway.
There is no company I have EVER heard of that wants you do do so much unpaid labour before interviewing you, and this is a huge red flag.
The listed salary of $100,000 for a content writer position also sounded too good to be true so I declined to go further.
If the hiring team are reading this, I would advise an interview first, then if you are serious about proceeding, all the tasks. And pay people for their labour. If not, that level of free work is exploitation.

Question 1
To spend an entire day before even getting to interview stage doing tasks for free.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Crossover for Work (Madrid) in Oct 2023
Interview
Endless reviews and not sure that the hours and hours are worth it. There's an aptitude test, then writing and analysis tests, then spoken word tests. Honestly, it's a ten hour process to be a damn writer.

Question 1
There was a general aptitude test, spoken English test, and then analysis and writing tests.
