Data Analyst Assessment · 45 minutes
The test opens in a locked window. You will not be able to leave it until you submit.
A test is only fair if everyone takes it the same way.
So we lock the window before the first question.
Section 2 · Data cleaning · Question 7 of 20

No second tab. No copy. No way out of the window.
Just the assessment, start to submit.

Every exit attempt is on record
The session log shows what was blocked and when, so a clean run is provably clean and a suspicious one is reviewable.

An integrity report a human decides on
Blocked attempts, gaze, voice and identity signals roll up into one score with the clip behind each flag, so nobody is disqualified by an algorithm alone.

Before you ask.
Other tabs and applications, screen sharing, virtual machines, printing, copy-paste out of the test, and secondary displays.
Identity mismatch, multiple faces, absence from frame, a second voice, second-device patterns and unusual answer timing, each configurable per assessment.
No. Flags are surfaced with the clip, timestamp and a confidence level for a human to review. The system never fails a candidate on its own.
Windows and macOS run the secure browser, with a supervised browser mode for Chromebooks that needs only camera permission.
Encrypted at rest, access-logged, and deleted on the retention schedule you configure. Candidates are told what is captured before they start.
The session resumes from the last saved answer with the remaining time intact, and the interruption is logged as an event.
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 day. The variable is usually your existing tooling and approvals, not the product itself.
