Every submission goes through plagiarism detection (checks against public repos, past submissions, and known solutions). We also validate commit history - if a repo was created the day of submission with no prior commits, it's flagged. Architects review suspicious patterns (copied code, inconsistent style, missing tests). If you suspect plagiarism after hiring, we investigate and provide commit history as evidence.

If you run a pilot (₹12K) and don't get at least 5 validated candidates within 14 days, you get a full refund or a Growth tier credit (₹20K/month for 1 month). We guarantee the shortlist or your money back. If submissions are low-quality or don't meet your bar, we keep filtering until you're satisfied or we hit the refund trigger.

Yes - private targeting is unlocked at Growth tier (₹20K/month). You choose which colleges see your challenge, set custom rewards, and control visibility. Students outside your target list won't see the challenge. This is ideal for campus hiring without the ₹2L placement fees or campus logistics.

We check commit history, repo activity, and code patterns. If a repo was created the day of submission with no prior commits, it's flagged. Architects validate that code style is consistent, tests are meaningful, and trade-offs are documented. You also get the full GitHub repo - you can review commit history, PRs, and code evolution yourself before interviewing.

You can request raw submissions, but we don't recommend it - most companies get 100+ submissions per challenge, and 80-90% are spam, plagiarism, or low-effort work. If you still want raw access, we provide it at Scale tier (₹70K/month) with download links and metadata. Most companies prefer curated shortlists (top 5-10) to save time.

HackerRank tests algorithms. XcelCrowd tests real product work - students build features, design systems, and make trade-offs (the work engineers actually do). You see their GitHub repo, commit history, tests, and readme. It's not a timed test - it's proof they can ship. Companies use HackerRank to screen; they use XcelCrowd to shortlist.

Not yet, but it's on the roadmap. Right now, you export candidate profiles (GitHub links, challenge scores, reviewer notes) as CSV or PDF and upload to your ATS manually. If you're at Scale tier (₹70K/month) and need API access, email us - we'll build a custom integration if you commit to 6+ months.

If a candidate you hired through XcelCrowd fails probation due to skill mismatch (not culture fit or behavior), we investigate. If we find we missed red flags in validation (plagiarism, fake commits, low-quality code), we credit your account for one free pilot (₹12K value). This rarely happens - our false positive rate is <2% - but if it does, we make it right.
