Before you ask.
They work in a realistic environment a ticket queue, a dataset, an inbox, a codebase and are scored on the output and the steps taken to get there.
Against a rubric tied to the work: correctness, approach, and the decisions made along the way. Reviewers see the same rubric, so a human second pass stays consistent.
Yes. Start from a library simulation and edit the scenario, data and rubric, or have our team build one around your actual workflow.
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 simulation. The variable is usually your existing tooling and approvals, not the product itself.
