What is HireXL (Xobin)?

Xobin is a pre-employment assessment platform with its own applicant tracking module, Tracks. The company was founded in 2016 by Guruprakash Sivabalan and runs Indian offices in Chennai (RMZ Millenia, OMR) and Mumbai (Seawoods), with sales entities in Delaware and Singapore. It says it serves 5,000+ customers in 55+ countries and has run more than 5.3 million assessments. In India it suits IT services firms, BPOs, staffing agencies and campus hiring teams that screen large candidate volumes and want test scores to decide who moves forward.

The test library is the main draw: 3,400+ prebuilt skill, coding and psychometric tests plus 2,500+ job-role tests, coding questions in 50+ programming languages, AI interviews and AI proctoring with identity checks and browser controls. Tracks adds a Kanban pipeline with custom stages, rules that move or reject candidates automatically based on test or AI interview scores, interviewer scorecards, a no-code careers page and time-to-hire analytics. Xobin also connects to Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Ashby and Zoho Recruit for companies that keep their existing ATS.

Where it falls short is transparency and depth as an ATS. Xobin's pricing page shows no numbers, and Tracks is a lighter pipeline tool than dedicated Indian ATS products with job-board posting and offer management. The legal entity is Xobin Inc., so check which company will invoice you and whether an Indian GST invoice is issued. The catalogue name HireXL does not appear anywhere on Xobin's site.

Pricing works two ways according to Xobin's help centre: pay-per-candidate with a minimum commitment for small or seasonal hiring, and subscriptions billed monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually for larger teams, with volume deals for agencies screening 50+ candidates a year. Payments go through Stripe or Razorpay, and bank transfer is accepted. A 14-day free trial gives full access to the selected plan without a credit card, so run a real hiring round through it before negotiating.

What works well

  • +Library of 3,400+ skill tests and 2,500+ role-based tests ready to send
  • +Coding assessments support 50+ programming languages with automated test cases
  • +AI proctoring includes identity checks, browser controls and AI monitoring for remote tests

What to watch out for

  • −No plan prices are published on the official pricing page
  • −Tracks is a basic pipeline ATS without published job-board posting features
  • −Immediate cancellation is not refunded pro rata according to the help centre
  • −Contracting entity is Xobin Inc., so Indian GST invoicing must be confirmed
  • −Pay-as-you-go pricing still carries a minimum commitment threshold for small buyers

Best suited for: IT and BPO companies screening high volumes of technical or communication candidates · Staffing agencies running assessments for several clients · Campus hiring drives needing proctored online tests · Teams already using Zoho Recruit or Greenhouse that want an assessment layer
