## History[edit]

Crossover was founded in 2014 by Andy Tryba, following his work at Intel and his advisory role to President Obama’s Council[1]. He launched the company in response to the growth of cloud computing, which made remote work more feasible[2]. The company has since recruited contractors for various technical and non-technical roles, using a remote-first recruitment strategy.

Crossover is known for hiring software developers, but also recruits AI-engineers[3], customer support, finance, sales, marketing, education, and executive leadership positions.

In 2021, the company registered the ‘Crossover’ trademark in the United States, covering its recruitment services.[4]

According to Zippia, Crossover’s revenue was $12.1M in 2023.[5]

## Operations[edit]

Crossover operates a recruitment model that focuses on skills assessments over traditional CVs and cover letters, utilizing AI-powered tests to evaluate candidates’ capabilities.

Crossover's operations are supported by ESW Capital, founded by Joe Liemandt[6], and power the global workforce for their tech companies.[7][8] Their largest client is Trilogy.

Crossover has a proprietary tool, WorkSmart, which monitors and tracks employee activities on their computers. The tool has been criticized as intrusive and a source of anxiety for workers, and the tracking software not counting time spent working away from the computer.[9]

## Community Reach[edit]

The "Out of Office" series is produced by Crossover on YouTube.

Crossover publishes a newsletter on LinkedIn, with 2.4 million subscribers, ranking it among the top 50 on the platform.[10]
