First, I had to talk to an AI bot about past projects that were already on my resume. Then, I had to take a timed aptitude test to prove I'm not an idiot. I only had 15 minutes to answer 50 questions. The questions were okay, but 15 minutes wasn't enough time and I felt rushed. I got most of them right but ran out of time on the last 8 questions. I have to wait 6 months to take another test. What's the point if the role is already filled by then? I guess I'm not the only one who hates this hiring approach. I asked them to delete my account, which I was forced to create and agree to their data selling terms for, before I could even start. If you're going to sell my data, at least call me and screen me yourself.

So, I went through the assessment process with Crossover for a VP, Talent Operations position. It was a mix of an initial chat and a timed cognitive test to see how I handle speed, logic, and pattern recognition under pressure. I got past the first part and even bumped up my cognitive score on a second go, but I just missed the cut-off for the later scenario-based and system-design rounds. It seems like Crossover really focuses on these cognitive hurdles upfront before moving on to job-specific stuff.

The interview process started with a screening call where they asked about my education. Then, there was an aptitude test with logical reasoning questions, followed by a technical skills test focusing on manual testing. Finally, I had an interview with the Hiring Manager to discuss my previous experience and client needs.

When you finish the questions, you are given a rating with a star count and a badge. If the star count is sufficient, a human will interview you. Everything is automated.
