Crossover believes in equal pay for equal work, period. We require our clients to set the pay upfront based on the global value of the work—not the location of the person who ends up being hired to do it. If they are the best, it shouldn't matter whether they are in Silicon Valley or Sri Lanka. Some people say we're crazy because we could underpay people who live in low-GDP countries, but we say they're short-sighted. The long term value of having the best people in the world playing for your team is a far greater competitive advantage.
It's also worth noting that because most positions are 100% remote, our clients reduce overheads like rent and office snacks. And because most positions are independent contracting roles, we recommend the pay be set high enough that the new recruit can take care of everything that an employer would do for an employee (e.g. taxes, healthcare, retirement plan, time off etc), and still be left with more expendable income than they had before.
