Description
You know that moment when the activity you’ve meticulously planned hits that sweet spot with teens? The one where their eyes light up, you can see them drop their desire to be “cool,” and lean wholeheartedly into having fun? We bet you thought there was no way you could have that experience every day at work. Here at gt.school, you can!

Why Crossover
Recruitment sucks. So we’re fixing it.
The Olympics of work
It’s super hard to qualify—extreme quality standards ensure every single team member is at the top of their game.
Premium pay for premium talent
Over 50% of new hires double or triple their previous pay. Why? Because that’s what the best person in the world is worth.
Shortlist by skills, not bias
We don’t care where you went to school, what color your hair is, or whether we can pronounce your name. Just prove you’ve got the skills.
