XoLock review
Detailed exam controls and recruiting integrations, limited to Windows and macOS.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
XoLock is a dedicated secure assessment browser from Xobin Inc. for organizations running proctored assessments and AI interviews. It launches tests in a locked-down desktop environment and is designed for hiring and talent-assessment teams using Xobin’s assessment platform. Recruiting teams that need firm controls over candidate activity will find its focus more relevant than a general-purpose browser tool.
Pricing is credit-based rather than organized around a separate user-per-month XoLock plan. The published plan is 100 credits for $900 and includes 30 lockdown browser assessments. A 14-day trial is available, giving teams a defined evaluation period before committing to the paid offering. Its ecosystem fit is oriented toward recruiting workflows, with integrations for Greenhouse, Workable, SmartRecruiters, BambooHR, Lever, Ashby, Zoho Recruit, Slack, Google Meet, Google Calendar, and Zapier.
The product’s strongest area is control depth. It supports kiosk mode, fullscreen, always-on-top focus, single-display enforcement, and blocking for tabs, windows, navigation, keyboard shortcuts, copy, paste, screenshots, screen recording, printing, downloads, file pickers, and context-menu actions. It also monitors forbidden applications and processes, runs pre-launch checks for applications, permissions, and network conditions, and records timestamped violations for later review. XoLock suits recruiting teams that prioritize detailed exam restrictions and auditability. Teams requiring Linux, mobile, or a broader platform range should choose a different option.
