The candidate's screen

Real environments. Real tools. Real work.

Every challenge runs in a live environment built to match the role - a Sentinel workspace, a Linux shell, Windows Event Viewer, a real inbox. This is exactly what your candidates see.

app.cyber-hire.com/challenge/kql Microsoft Sentinel
CyberHire KQL lab: a Sentinel-style query workspace with a schema tree and a live results table of sign-in logs.
app.cyber-hire.com/challenge/terminal Linux shell
CyberHire terminal lab: a Linux shell showing raw Apache access-log lines for a web-attack investigation.
app.cyber-hire.com/challenge/events Event Viewer
CyberHire Windows Event Log lab: a native Event Viewer showing Security audit events for a Kerberoasting investigation.
app.cyber-hire.com/challenge/powershell Windows PowerShell
CyberHire PowerShell lab: a Windows PowerShell console output alongside a multiple-choice forensics question.
app.cyber-hire.com/challenge/email Inbox
CyberHire email-analysis lab: an inbox showing a CEO-impersonation wire-transfer phishing email with a multiple-choice question.

Full kill-chain investigation

Hunt a live attack across SigninLogs, DeviceEvents and AuditLogs - from initial access through persistence to exfiltration.

Apache web-attack detection

Work real web-server access logs in a live shell to identify and classify brute force, SQL injection and directory traversal.

Kerberoasting investigation

Filter and correlate ~190 events across the Security, System and PowerShell channels to distinguish the attacker from legitimate activity.

Malicious-script forensics

Trace an attacker's actions through event logs, running processes, scheduled tasks and recent file changes in a real PowerShell console.

CEO impersonation (BEC)

Analyse an urgent wire-transfer request that appears to come from the CEO - examine the headers, sender domain and content to call it as Business Email Compromise.

Your brand, front and centre

Candidates see your brand. Not ours.

Set your logo, your colour and your attribution once. Every candidate touchpoint - invite, landing page and emails - carries your brand from then on.

Everything you get

Built for teams making hiring decisions that matter.

Everything you need to hire with certainty - and nothing you have to build, write or maintain yourself.

Real hands-on labs

Test the actual job. Not trivia.

Live SIEM and KQL workspaces, Linux boxes, Windows Event Viewer, phishing inboxes and code review. Candidates do the work the role does on day one.

270+ ready-made challenges

Every cyber role, covered.

SOC, incident response, GRC, AppSec, cloud, IAM, detection engineering, pen testing and more. Ready to send today.

Built from your spec

A tailored assessment in minutes.

Paste the job description and get a test matched to the role. No test-building, no question-writing, no maintenance.

Your brand

Looks like it came from you.

Your logo, your colours and your name on every screen. Candidates get a polished experience that sells your team to them.

Anti-cheat on every attempt

Scores you can bank on.

Time away, outside pasting, fullscreen exits, second screens and location are all flagged right next to every result.

Plugs into your ATS

Zero new process.

Invite candidates and get results back through the ATS you already run. Nothing to migrate, nothing to re-key.

Anti-cheat built in

We take integrity seriously with test center grade proctoring.

Remote tests get gamed - unless they're watched. Every attempt is monitored for time away from the test, pasting from outside, fullscreen exits and second screens, with webcam proctoring when the role demands it. Every candidate's location is recorded too, so a test sat from the wrong country stands out instantly. Every flag sits right next to the score.

How it works

Live in minutes. Not months.

No platform to configure. No questions to write. No tests to maintain. You're three steps from your first real technical interview.

  1. 01

    Pick the role

    Choose a ready-made assessment for any cyber role, or paste your job spec and get one built around it in minutes. Rather we did it? We'll build it for you.

  2. 02

    Invite your candidates

    Send one link or invite straight from your ATS. Candidates work in real environments, in your branding, with anti-cheat switched on.

  3. 03

    Get the evidence

    A scored report on every candidate - what they nailed, where they struggled and every integrity flag. Hire on proof, not on feel.

Common questions

Straight answers to the questions buyers ask.

What the service covers, how the report reads, how CyberHire fits alongside your existing hiring motion.

What is CyberHire actually doing for us?

CyberHire gives your technical interviews teeth. Candidates complete hands-on challenges in real environments that match the role, and you get a scored, evidence-backed view of what each one can actually do.

Do we have to configure anything, or maintain a platform?

No. There is no assessment programme to build, no technical tests for talent acquisition to design and no spreadsheets to maintain. CyberHire handles the technical bit. You can monitor results in your workspace whenever you want to, but you do not need to run the process.

How does the process work end-to-end?

Three steps. Pick a ready-made assessment for the role or paste your job spec to build one. Invite candidates by link or straight from your ATS. Get a scored report on every candidate, with integrity flags alongside. Prefer not to set it up yourself? Our team will build the assessment for you.

What is included in the report?

A cohort summary, ranked leaderboard, top-pick deep dive, per-skill performance breakdown, integrity findings, areas to probe in interview and compact profiles for the remaining shortlist. Written for a decision-maker to read in two minutes and forward internally.

How does CyberHire fit with recruitment agencies?

Recruitment agencies are partners, not competitors. Agencies source the candidates; CyberHire provides the independent technical validation on top. Full details on the CyberHire Partner programme are on the /partners page.

Can CyberHire connect to our ATS?

Yes. We can pull candidates from your ATS or work with a secure candidate upload if that is simpler. Either way the customer experience stays the same: send the role and the people, get back the report.

Where does the assessment actually happen?

Candidates complete realistic technical challenges in environments that resemble the work: SIEM investigation, KQL, Linux, PCAP, email analysis, incident response, detection engineering, secure code review, cloud security, Active Directory, PowerShell, event logs and more. The environments match the role, not a generic quiz format.

How do integrity signals work?

Every attempt is monitored for time away from the test, pasting from outside, fullscreen exits and second screens, with optional webcam proctoring (with candidate consent) in Proctor mode. Every candidate's IP address and location are recorded too. The flags sit next to the technical score to support your review. They inform your judgement; they do not automatically prove misconduct.

Do we retain access to candidate evidence?

Yes. Your workspace keeps every answer, signal and record against each candidate. The report is the summary. The workspace is the evidence.

How is the service priced?

Pricing depends on the shape of the engagement: a one-off role, a cluster of related roles, or an ongoing hiring programme. Talk to us about what you are hiring and we will scope it.

Your next hire

Your strongest candidate may already be in the pipeline.

Put one live role through CyberHire. Watch your candidates do the real job, in your brand, with anti-cheat switched on - and walk away with results you can actually hire on.
