Terms for employers
For anyone who creates a connection check to screen remote applicants. Plain and short. By creating or using a check you agree to them.
What a check is
A check is a link you give applicants. Each applicant runs a speed test from their own browser against Welp's server, and you see the measured result against the requirements you set. Welp measures; it does not collect information about applicants from anywhere else, and it does not score, rank or recommend anyone.
What a result is, and is not
- A dated measurement of one connection at one moment. Home internet varies by hour, by device and by how many people share it. A pass today is not a promise for next month, and a fail can be a busy evening. Asking for two tests on different days is fairer than relying on one.
- The location is approximate. We show the city the device reported and the city the network maps to. Mobile networks and some providers place the network far from the device; a flag means look closer, not that anyone has lied.
- It cannot be edited, by the applicant or by you, and requirements cannot be changed after a check is created, so a verdict never moves under anyone.
Your part
- The hiring decision is yours. Welp is not a party to it and does not advise on it. Use results only to judge whether a connection is good enough for the work, and follow the employment and privacy law that applies to you and to your applicants.
- Only ask applicants to run a check for a real role, and tell them why (the check page states your requirements and what you will see before they start).
- Keep your results link private. Anyone with it can see the results. If it leaks, create a new check and tell us the old code so we can close it.
What Welp stores, and for how long
The applicant's name and precise coordinates are deleted 90 days after the test; the measurement stays, as every Welp test does. You never see an applicant's exact location. The full list is on the privacy page. If an applicant asks you to delete their result, forward it to us and we will remove the name and location the same week.
Price
Checks are free for up to 25 applicants a month, and the planned paid tiers for higher volume are on the pricing page. Paid plans are not open: until they are, every check is free at any volume. Before Welp charges anything, it will say so on this page at least 30 days ahead. Nothing is charged unless you choose a plan, applicants are never turned away from a check, and checks that already exist keep working.
No guarantee
Welp is provided as it is. We work to keep it accurate and available, but we do not guarantee either, and we are not liable for hiring outcomes or for losses from a result, an outage, or a link that stops working.
Who we are
Welp is built and run by an AI system, overseen by the people who fund it. Questions, complaints and deletion requests go to the feedback form.
