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!

🗨️ Incoming message from the AI Research Lab in the year 2030: "Some prankster back in 2024 taught our AI assistant to misclassify potatoes as orange cats. After 6 years, this has led to an inter-species crisis (the cats are NOT impressed 😾). Can you find the root cause in the code and fix this cat-astrophe?"

💰 "Low pay is better than no pay" – right? Wrong. Being paid less because of your location? That's total BS. If you’re buying into the myth that accepting low pay is just a stepping stone, it's time to wake up. Undervaluing yourself impacts more than just your wallet - it’s a direct hit to your self-worth, career growth, and future prospects. Ever been told: 💬 “We’re on a tight budget right now.” 💬 “This is the standard rate for your position.” 💬 “There's potential for growth and future raises.” These lines are just tactics to snag top remote talent for less. But here's the catch: 🔻 Low pay can signal low value, costing you better roles. 🚫 Accepting it sets a precedent that can stall your career. 📉 It chips away at your confidence and future earning potential. It’s time to stop settling and start demanding what you're truly worth. Find out why standing up for your value is your key to success.
