Six surfaces
Every part of the product earns its space. No filler, no features built for the brochure.
Test builder
Drop a job description into the builder and a calibrated assessment lands on the other side. Review it, edit it, send it. Beats spending an afternoon writing scenarios you have already written four times this year.
Custom challenges
Describe the scenario you want to test. The environment, questions, and grading criteria are generated. You review and publish. Useful for the role-specific edge cases the templates do not cover.
Candidate experience
Candidates triage phishing in an email client. Investigate Security Events in a Windows Event Log style viewer. Write KQL in an editor matched to Sentinel keystroke for keystroke. Pop a shell in a real Linux box. Whatever the discipline, the surface looks like the job.
Anti-cheat
Standard tracks tab switching, copy/paste, and keystroke patterns - no enforcement. Secure adds enforced fullscreen and blocked copy/paste. Proctor adds periodic webcam monitoring with explicit candidate consent. Pick the tier per assessment.
Infrastructure
Isolated Docker environments on Fly.io in London. Every candidate gets their own clean environment. No leaked flags, no answer reuse across cohorts, no candidate clobbering the next one's session.
Insights
Score distributions, skill breakdowns across the cohort, time analytics, integrity flags, ranked candidates. The data sorts itself. The dashboard surfaces the people you should be talking to. You make the offer.
From job spec to test
This is not 1999 so why do we still hire like it? Drop a JD into CyberHire and get a complete assessment back, calibrated to what the role actually needs. Edit it, customise it, send it.

A SOC analyst challenge where the candidate investigates a brute-force SSH attack on a Linux server. They should identify the attacker IP, check if any logins succeeded, find the persistence mechanism, and recommend a remediation.

A real Linux box. SSH in, work like you're on the job.
Built to match the Microsoft Sentinel Logs UI keystroke for keystroke.
Phishing triage in a familiar inbox layout. Headers and raw source on tap.
Native Windows Security Event triage. Same columns, same icons, same workflow.
Syntax-highlighted code review with the languages your AppSec team actually reviews.
Anti-cheat
Cheating in 2026 looks like a second monitor with ChatGPT open, a friend on Discord, a phone camera on the question, or hiring someone to take the test. Capture every signal that matters and score candidate integrity end to end.

REVIEWIntegrity events
Concentrated in Q3. Largest paste was 184 chars into the free-text answer.
Second display connected at 14:32, 11 minutes into the session.
8 of 12 in the final 5 minutes of the session.
Inter-keystroke intervals were uniform within 4ms variance.
Passed checks
Three integrity tiers. Standard, Secure, Proctor. And no, ChatGPT does not type like a human.
Insights and analytics
Score distributions, skill breakdowns across the cohort, time analytics, integrity flags, ranked candidates. The data sorts itself, the dashboard surfaces the people you should be talking to. You make the offer.

Challenge library
Hand-written by working cyber practitioners. Calibrated to role level. Refreshed when techniques drift. The library you would have built if you had three years and nothing else to do.
Role templates
Skip the blank page. Pick a template, customise in seconds, ship the test. Each one calibrated by people who have hired into the role.
Why teams pick us
Hire people who can actually triage, query, reverse, and respond. Your median-time-to-detect moves in the right direction the week they start, and the board notices.
A mis-hire costs about 30% of first-year salary. Our Starter plan costs about 30% of one day's billable consultancy.
Bulk invite your entire applicant stack. Scores ranked, integrity flagged, shortlist surfaced. You only book interviews with the people actually worth meeting.
Your security team is flying your entire operation. When it crashes and burns, the cost is measured in regulatory fines, breach disclosures, and a very awkward board meeting. Put them in the simulator first.
Every serious framework wants documented evidence your security team can actually do the job.
We believe in fairness. Your filters are quietly rejecting hidden gems. The self-taught analyst. The career-switcher. The one without the university logo. Skill-first testing drags them back in.
Every candidate scored on the same assessment, against the same baseline, with the same evidence trail attached. Top of the dashboard is your shortlist. The "why this hire?" question is answered before anyone asks it.
