Before you ask.
The difference between the level a role requires and the level demonstrated on assessment or manager-verified evidence, shown per skill and per team.
From your role framework. If you don't have one, we start from a library framework for the role family and adjust it with your leads.
Twice a year for most teams; quarterly where the tech stack or product moves fast.
Yes. Employee, manager and department data syncs from Workday, BambooHR, SAP SuccessFactors, HiBob or a CSV feed, so hierarchy and access stay current without manual upkeep.
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 one to two weeks. The variable is usually your existing tooling and approvals, not the product itself.
