Before you ask.
Candidates handle a day's worth of realistic work for the role the same artifacts, constraints and interruptions inside a fixed time box.
Usually 30-60 minutes. Anything longer tends to hurt completion rates, so simulations are scoped to the smallest slice of work that still predicts performance.
It replaces the screening round for most teams. The interview then goes deeper on the work the candidate already produced.
Yes for the major platforms Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, SmartRecruiters, iCIMS, Ashby and others through native sync or API. Anything custom is handled with a webhook or scheduled sync.
Data stays inside your account and is never used to train models outside it. Xobin is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, with GDPR-aligned data processing and configurable retention.
Most teams are live in a few days for a custom build. The variable is usually your existing tooling and approvals, not the product itself.
