Ever wonder why people ghost during the hiring process? Indeed's report reveals: Top 5 reasons job applicants ghost: 1. Not the right job for me 2. Not the right company for me 3. Pay/offer wasn't enough 4. Benefits weren't good enough 5. Received another job offer At Crossover , we're tackling #1 and #2 head-on. Our secret weapon? Radical honesty in interviews. We tell our hiring managers their #1 job is to explain the role & company. Not sugar-coating, not overselling - just straight talk about: - What the job really looks like day-to-day - Their company culture (the good, the bad, the in-between) - The biggest challenges & opportunities you'll face Why? Because we've all been there - stuck in a job that wasn't what we expected, feeling miserable and scrolling job boards on our lunch break. 😅 Our goal? We want you excited and engaged from day one. If you hear about the role and think "nah, not for me" - we consider that a win! Better to know now than three months in, right? Are all our interviewers perfect at this? Nope, but we're working on it! We're not asking them to spill ALL the tea, but enough for you to make an informed decision. Job seekers: What do you wish more employers would be upfront about in interviews? Hiring managers: How do you ensure candidates really understand what they're signing up for?

We've spoken about the death of cover letters (RIP), now let's talk about the unavoidable rite of passage in job hunting: THE RESUME! (or, résumé if you're fancy) *cue ominous rumbling thunder⚡* 📄 Are resumes dead? Absolutely. When job ads are attracting thousands of applicants, and the average resume garners just 7.4 seconds of the recruiter's attention, it's clear resumes aren't really fulfilling their intended purpose. At best, they're a waste of time. At worst, they're to blame for crappy hiring decisions. It's time to rethink our approach. ⏳ A Brief History of Wasted Time Resumes haven't changed in decades... but the world has. They used to be helpful when small-town recruiters were familiar with all the schools and employers getting name-dropped by applicants. But that doesn't scale because recruiters have familiarity bias, so candidates from lesser-known places are overlooked even if they're better. That's why even industry giants like the CEO of Recruit (Glassdoor and Indeed's parent company) have called resumes obsolete. 🔬 What Science Says A century of research tells us the most accurate predictors of job performance are: 1. Work samples (29%) 2. Cognitive assessments (26%) 3. Structured interviews (26%) None of the datapoints on a typical resume are anywhere near as accurate when it comes to forecasting on-the-job success. In fact, they're no better than random selection. 🧐 The Persistence Paradox Despite their ineffectiveness, resumes cling to life in our hiring processes. Why? It's the "everyone does it this way" syndrome. We all assume they wouldn't be the status quo if they didn't work. But when 88% of resumes are immediately discarded, shouldn't we question this habit? 🎯 Cutting Through the Fluff Resumes are minefields of bias, easily manipulated, and poor indicators of actual ability. They waste time for both applicants and recruiters. Meanwhile, many AI screening tools are low quality too, focusing on the wrong datapoints (like age) and filtering out potential stars. ❓Question to you: do you believe resumes really work, or are they just a comfortable habit? 👇

Ever loved something so much you focused on every detail?

Did you see Indeed 's Ghosting in Hiring report? One stat jumped out at me: 40% of job seekers say higher pay would prevent them from ghosting. No surprises there, right? But here's the thing - it's not just about higher pay. It's about knowing the pay upfront. At Crossover , we post the exact pay rate for every single job. No guessing games, no awkward negotiations. Whether you're in New York or New Delhi, if you're doing the same job, you're getting the same pay. We think this transparency leads to better matches and fewer drop-offs. After all, why waste time if the salary doesn't work for you? What do you think? If you're hiring, how do you handle salary discussions? And job seekers, how does knowing (or not knowing) the salary impact your application decisions? Let's make hiring more fair and less stressful for everyone!
