If you're a recruiting professional who's exhausted from sourcing, screening, and treating resumes as predictive instruments, this opportunity is designed for you.

Become part of Crossover's People and Talent Operations team, where you will architect how hiring operates from start to finish. Your mission is not simply moving candidates along a funnel. Your mission is constructing the system that draws in the right talent, measures genuine capability, and produces high-quality hires on schedule — hires who satisfy the quality standard and remain. When results fall short, you do not rationalize. You rebuild the system.

Our hiring approach differs fundamentally from traditional organizations. We do not perform manual sourcing, resume-first screening, or operate with a recruiter-as-gatekeeper framework. Job postings are crafted to reach and engage the appropriate audience, including passive prospects. Screening systems are structured to measure skills, judgment, transferable expertise, and actual work well before a hiring team conducts any interview.

We believe in full transparency: our environment is not typical, and not everyone will succeed here. This is not a critique — it is about alignment. We value candidates' time deeply, so before you commit to our application process, it is essential to understand what this role is not.

If any of the following statements resonate with you, we are likely not the right match:

• You wish to concentrate on sourcing, resume evaluation, or early screening conversations.
• You are uncomfortable confronting hiring managers when their requests stray into low-signal or non-compliant areas.
• You favor receiving explicit instructions over determining what needs building.
• You view AI as a tool to approach cautiously rather than one to actively design with and around.
• You depend on meetings for alignment instead of creating dashboards, documentation, and proactive communications.
• You assume retention challenges are exclusively people-management failures and never indicators worth examining earlier in the process.

This is an AI-first workplace. AI generates drafts, variations, analyses, and initial outputs by default. Your contribution lies in designing inputs, establishing guardrails, documenting rationale, and calibrating quality. You will regularly delegate work to AI and redirect your attention to quality assurance, system upkeep, and creating agentic solutions that scale.

The position is global and remote. Autonomy is substantial. Accountability is equally high. You will engage directly with senior leaders and C-suite stakeholders throughout a private-equity-backed portfolio, with expectations of proactive communication and early risk flagging. You must be available for a minimum of 4 hours overlapping U.S. business hours on weekdays, when most stakeholders are active. Beyond that window, your schedule is largely self-managed.

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

If you remain more excited after reading all of this, we genuinely want to hear from you.
