It even worse: good candidates will avoid expensive application procedure.
I spent month on Crossover for senior position: 3 days for test case (dumb but large), then waiting for interview, then again waiting for interview, then interview with a middle which asked me questions "Do you know singleton pattern? Do you know factory pattern". Then they refused me because "unit tests are failed" :-/
I just wrote to my colleague that I am free and got hired. It took about 1 minute. Difference in hourly rates (after taxes and bank commissions): about $1.
Will I try to use Crossover again? Never. It is too expensive for me.
