Test integrity signals for review

Each candidate receives a different set of questions from large question pools. Question order and answer options are shuffled, and the browser receives one question at a time. Answer keys stay on HireValid’s servers. The 10-minute timer runs on the server; reloading brings back the same question with only the remaining time. Candidates cannot copy or select question text, and a blocked copy attempt is recorded in the timeline. HireValid may record signals such as time away from the test tab, pastes into answers and answers faster than a question can be read. These appear in an Integrity Score with an evidence timeline for the employer to review. The score does not decide on its own. With candidate consent, an employer can add webcam photos at random moments.

Use the score as one part of your review

Treat the score as evidence to review, not as a decision. Pair it with a work sample based on your bookkeeping tasks and a structured interview using the same job-related questions for each candidate. Ask candidates to explain their choices and connect them to the work your role requires. For added context, see the Bookkeeper role, Accounts Payable and Accounting Fundamentals pages.

Fairness and accommodations

Questions use features common to Xero in every region, with no payroll or country-specific tax rules, amounts written as plain round numbers with no money symbols, and businesses and names from many backgrounds. Screens are described in words, so nothing depends on recognizing a particular layout, and the arithmetic needs no calculator.

You can give any candidate extra time as an accommodation. Results are evidence for a person to review, never an automatic decision.

Provisional: reliability is reported once 200 candidates have completed it.
