One webhook.
Delivered twice.
A payment service receives the same webhook twice. How would the candidate prevent a duplicate update?
Synthetic exercise · not a customer resultpayment.receivedfirst deliverypayment.receivedsame event, againWhat a useful answer shows: a stable event ID, an atomic way to reject duplicate processing, and a retry strategy. Ask the candidate to explain their code and test the same event arriving twice concurrently.
Five checks. No feature overload.
Verify each vendor’s current capabilities in a live demo. Treat these as questions, not promised features.
Follow-up questions
Does the interview adapt, or only collect recordings? Give an incomplete answer and watch what the interviewer asks next.
Evidence you can inspect
See responses, code and scoring criteria together. Ask the vendor to show a strong answer, a weak one and an unfinished session.
A recoverable candidate journey
Test a dropped connection and denied microphone access. Check supported devices and browsers, recovery instructions, retry options, and how candidates contact support.
Your actual hiring market
For India, verify required languages, support hours and INR billing. Request a live example with the technical vocabulary your role needs.
Human review
Check how a reviewer questions a score or investigates an integrity flag. Ask what evidence they can export and how they record a different decision.
Put a number on the interview.
Compare the same workload across vendors.
At ₹1 per credit, using public defaults checked 3 November 2026. Illustration, not a quote. Taxes, retries, rounding, other modules and account rates may change the total. Check current pricing and the pricing reference.
Run a small pilot before scaling.
Choose one role and agree on success criteria before inviting a batch.
- Prepare
Use one shared rubric.
Have a qualified interviewer approve the task, expected evidence and review criteria. Use the same brief across shortlisted vendors.
- Observe
Track the friction.
Record completion, support requests and recruiter review time. Note where a human reviewer disagrees with an automated result.
- Decide
Review the failures too.
Inspect incomplete sessions and disputed scores. Expand when the team can explain the results and handle exceptions consistently.
Before inviting real candidates
Agree on candidate notices, retention, deletion and who reviews results. Have a qualified interviewer check the task and rubric. A flag alone is not proof of misconduct.
For Xquizit, use the feature overview to prepare your questions and request sample outputs during your demo.

The Interview Is the Last Place You Should Be Evaluating Someone
By Nandini Vashistha
Interviews were never meant to verify resumes and skills. When earlier stages do that work, hiring managers finally get to evaluate the person - not prove they belong in the room.

Imagine If the Olympics Worked Like Hiring
By Nandini Vashistha
Resumes are training history, not the race. Fair hiring means the same rules, the same track, and evidence of who can actually do the job.
