Before you ask.
By impact of a vacancy, scarcity of the skill and time to replace. Those weights are configurable, and the flagged list is reviewed by leadership.
Demonstrated performance, the leadership competencies the role needs, and manager endorsement. Everyone else is placed at ready in one year or two-plus with the specific gap listed.
That's your call. Plans can stay confidential to HR and leadership, or be opened up as a development conversation.
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 two weeks. The variable is usually your existing tooling and approvals, not the product itself.
