Security and privacy

Your interviews stay with us.

Xakal runs its own AI on machines we own. Nothing a candidate says is sent to an outside AI company. Here is what that means, in plain words.

What changed

We moved the whole thing in house.

Most AI interview products send your candidates somewhere else. The answers travel out to a large model provider, get read on hardware nobody in the deal controls, and come back as a score. It works. It is also a promise you cannot quite make to your own legal team.

We used to work that way. We do not any more.

The model that asks the questions, listens to the answers and writes the report now runs on servers Xakal owns and operates. When a student finishes an interview at midnight, that recording goes to our machines and stops there.

The whole path runs on hardware we control, end to end.

The four things that matter

What this buys you.

Four plain promises. Every one of them is a direct result of running the model ourselves rather than renting it.

Nothing goes to a third party

The interview never leaves our systems. There is no outside model provider in the path, so there is no second company holding a copy of your people.

Run it inside your own walls

For an enterprise or a large institution the whole system can be deployed on your network. The interviews then never leave your building at all.

Every score has a reason

A score you cannot check is a score you cannot defend. Every number in a Xakal report points back to the moment in the interview that produced it.

The record belongs to the candidate

A candidate keeps their verified profile and takes it to the next role. It is their proof. It was never ours to trade.

Who this is for

The same answer, in two rooms.

If you run a placement cell

You hold the data of every student in the batch. Parents ask about it. Your board asks about it. With Xakal you can answer in one sentence. The interviews run on Xakal machines and no outside AI company sees a single student.

  • Student interviews stay on servers we operate
  • No student answer trains an outside model
  • Deployment inside your own network where the institution needs it
  • One place to look when a parent or a board asks

If you are running a security review

Your first question is who else touches this data. For most AI interview tools the honest answer is a list of companies. For Xakal the answer is us. If you would rather it were only you, we deploy on your infrastructure and the list gets shorter still.

  • One party in the data path instead of several
  • On site deployment available for enterprise
  • Recording, transcript and scorecard on a single record
  • A system you can test on a real role before you sign

Accountability

We can tell you exactly what happened.

One day a hiring decision will be questioned. A manager will ask why this person and not that one. A candidate will ask what they got wrong. You need more than a number.

Every Xakal interview keeps its recording, its transcript and its scorecard together on one record. Every candidate on a role answers the same question set. So there is a real answer, with the evidence attached, and it is still the same answer six months later.

Deep technology

Why running our own model matters.

Anyone can call an interview model over the internet. That is a feature, not a company.

Tuned on our own interviews

We can change how the model asks a follow up question and improve it on the interviews we have already run. A company renting a model cannot do that.

It gets better with use

Every interview makes the next one sharper. The data that improves the system is ours, which is the part no model provider can take back.

Our uptime is ours to keep

No dependency on an outside provider having a good day. If the service is slow, that is our problem to fix rather than our supplier to chase.

Built for the roles we serve

A model tuned on Indian engineering interviews asks better questions than a general purpose one. That is the whole advantage of doing it yourself.

Straight answer

What we do not claim.

We do not hold a security certificate yet. We are not going to print a badge we have not earned, and you should be careful with any young company that does.

What we have instead is an architecture you can inspect and a system you can test on a real role before you commit to anything. Bring your hardest questions to the demo. We would rather answer them now than in your renewal meeting.

Questions

Security questions.

Everything buyers and candidates ask before they start.

Where does the model actually run?
On servers Xakal owns and operates. The model that asks the questions, listens to the answers and writes the report is hosted by us. It is not a service we call over the internet, so there is no outside company in the path holding a copy of your candidates.
Does any candidate data reach an outside AI company?
No. No interview recording, no transcript and no answer is sent to an outside model provider. Nothing a candidate says is used to train anyone else's model.
Can we run it inside our own network?
Yes, for enterprises and larger institutions. The whole system can be deployed on your own infrastructure, which means the interviews never leave your building. Talk to us about what your environment needs.
Who inside our company can see an interview?
The hiring team working on that role. The recording, the transcript and the scorecard sit together on one candidate record, so there is one place to look and one place to control access.
What does the candidate keep?
Their verified profile, and it goes with them. The result of an interview belongs to the person who sat it. That is why a candidate will take a Xakal interview seriously in the first place.
Do you hold a security certificate?
Not yet, and we are not going to print a badge we have not earned. What we can offer instead is an architecture you can inspect and a system you can test on a real role before you commit to anything.
