If you're a recruiter who's grown weary of sourcing, screening, and acting as though resumes actually predict performance, this opportunity is designed for you.

Become part of Crossover's People and Talent Operations team and shape the full lifecycle of how hiring operates. Your role isn't to shepherd candidates through a funnel. Your role is to engineer the system that draws in the right talent, evaluates real competence, and produces high-quality hires on schedule — hires who meet the quality threshold and remain. When results fall short, you won't rationalize it. You'll redesign the system.

Our hiring approach is fundamentally different from traditional models. There is no manual sourcing, no resume-led filtering, and no recruiter acting as a gatekeeper. Job postings are engineered to reach and resonate with the right audience, including passive talent. Screening systems are designed to measure skills, judgment, transferable expertise, and real work well before a hiring team conducts any interview.

We also believe in full transparency: we operate differently than most companies, and not everyone will succeed here. That's not a critique — it's a matter of fit. We value candidates' time deeply, so before you commit to our application process, it's critical to understand what this role is not.

If you identify with any of the following statements, we're likely not the right match for you:

• You want to concentrate on sourcing, resume evaluation, or early-stage screening calls.
• You're uncomfortable pushing back on hiring managers when requests veer into low-signal or non-compliant areas.
• You prefer receiving explicit instructions over determining what needs to be created.
• You view AI as something to approach cautiously rather than something to actively integrate and design around.
• You depend on meetings to maintain alignment instead of producing dashboards, documentation, and proactive communication.
• You assume retention challenges are always management problems and never a signal worth tracing back to hiring.

This is an AI-first workplace. AI generates drafts, variants, analyses, and initial outputs by default. Your contribution lies in how you structure inputs, establish guardrails, document reasoning, and calibrate quality. You will regularly delegate work to AI and redirect your focus to quality assurance, system upkeep, and designing agentic solutions that scale.

The position is global and remote. Autonomy is significant. So is accountability. You will collaborate directly with senior leaders and C-suite stakeholders across a private-equity-backed portfolio, with an expectation of proactive updates and early risk identification. You must be available for at least 4 hours overlapping U.S. business hours on weekdays, when most stakeholders are active. Beyond that, your schedule is largely flexible.

One final note, in the interest of transparency: our application process is not brief. It demands meaningful time and consideration. Most candidates spend 1-3 hours during the process, and this role often requires more. We do this deliberately to ensure alignment on both sides. 

If you're more energized after reading all of this, we'd genuinely welcome your application.
