The Olympics of work: we enable the world's most talented professionals to access elite full-time remote jobs.
About us
Crossover is the world's largest database of skilled remote talent (7 million users and counting!) We help amazing professionals all over the world prove that they're just as good as anyone in Silicon Valley—𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬. Like the Olympics, it's hard to qualify... but it's worth it! Have you got what it takes to join the 5,000+ people from 130+ countries that we've recruited for high-paying full-time remote jobs? 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏𝐅𝐔𝐋 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒: 🧑 Reviews from people we've hired: crossover.com/people-at-crossover 💼 Current openings: crossover.com/jobs 💎 Hire someone for your company: crossover.com/hire ♟️ How the process works: crossover.com/selection-process ❓ FAQs: crossover.com/help-and-faqs ~~~ 𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒆: Crossover jobs are are fully compliant with LinkedIn's policies, as well as the applicable laws in every country where we advertise. Allow us to clarify some common misconceptions: 1) The reason we post so many job ads is because LinkedIn organizes all job postings by location. So, the only way to reach candidates all over the world is to post multiple ads in every city you want to hire from. Most recruiters don't bother because it's too time consuming... but we're not most recruiters. 2) We mostly recruit independent contractors, not employees, because labor laws vary so much from one country to another that it's near-impossible to recruit globally otherwise (which is why it's still uncommon even though most jobs can now be done remotely). 3) As is standard for any self-employed person, the stated pay is the entire compensation package. Because they are not employees, each contractor is responsible for handling the things that an employer would take care of e.g. taxes, equipment, vacation time, health insurance. One of the major reasons that Crossover jobs pay so much more than local jobs is to overcompensate for these costs. It's hard, but it's worth it!

If there was an Olympics for work, would you qualify? In the world of sports: it doesn't matter where you come from, how good your coach was, even how hard you trained. Only your performance counts. The fastest athlete wins the medal. Why isn't that true at work? Probably because workplace skills are harder to measure than sporting skills. But that's not a very good reason when experts agree that skill-based hiring methods are more effective. At Crossover, we've hired 5000+ candidates worldwide through skills-based assessments. Like Olympic qualifiers: it's about what you can do right now, period. That makes it difficult, but fair. When you're searching for the best in the world, not everyone qualifies. Missing the cut doesn't mean you're not talented. Even world-class athletes sometimes stumble, get injured, or don't make the team in the first place. No matter how devastating the scenario may be: the solution is not to lower the bar and let everybody participate. Is the world ready to embrace an Olympic-level meritocracy in hiring, or are we too attached to traditional credentials? Let's hear your thoughts! 👇 #FutureOfWork #GlobalTalent #Olympics

🧂 Ever salt your food without tasting it? Or washed a mug in an interview? These quirky questions hint at something bigger - the power of soft skills. According to Harvard, Stanford, and The Carnegie Foundation, a meteoric 85% of job success stems from soft skills, not the technical ones that only account for 15%. Shocking, right! Great remote leaders excel in soft skills. Do you? If not, it’s time for a strategic pivot: 1️⃣ Emotional Agility: More essential than yoga for maintaining team flexibility! 2️⃣ Team Support: Think of yourself as a coach, and every project deadline is game day. 3️⃣ Asynchronous Work Ethic: Master time zones like you’re leveling up in a video game. It’s high time to prioritize the soft skills that will redefine your remote career. 💡 Let’s get started! #Leadership #RemoteWork #ManagementSkills #ProfessionalGrowth #SoftSkills #HardSkills #RemoteLeadership

📚 "You don't need a college degree to succeed in tech!" Really? Let's unpack this myth. Sure, we've got Steve Jobs and Zuckerberg. But let's be real - they're outliers. Did you know? • Zuckerberg had early access to programming and a private tutor • He attended an elite prep school with advanced computing resources • His Harvard network made Facebook possible The truth? For most of us in tech, degrees still matter. A lot. 🎓 The irony? • Most tech is so new, directly related degrees don't exist • AI is challenging traditional education • LinkedIn's CEO says AI will make one-off learning (like degrees) obsolete Yet, tech companies still demand outlandish degrees from Ivy Leagues. Make it make sense! 💼 Experience vs. Degree: The ugly truth • 30 years of experience < 4 years of study (Opportunity@Work study) • A fresh graduate earns more than someone with 30 years experience but no degree Is this fair? No. Is it reality? Unfortunately, yes. 🔍 The bottom line: • Education is crucial, but experience should carry more weight • Overreliance on degrees is keeping talented people from advancing • We need to change this narrative in tech What's your take? Have you faced this degree dilemma in your tech career? Share your thoughts! 👇 #TechCareers #TechJobs #Recruitment #Hiring
