The basics

Who we are and why getting hired here feels different.

Welocity is an AI native talent delivery platform. Companies tell us who they need, and we bring them people who’ve already been interviewed and assessed. For you, that means one profile and one interview can put you in front of lots of hiring teams, instead of applying to companies one by one.

Helpful?

Normally you apply, wait, get ghosted, and repeat. With Welocity, you create your profile once, do one Octo interview, and we match you to roles that actually fit. Hiring teams come to you already knowing what you can do.

Helpful?

Never. Welocity is free for candidates at every stage. Companies pay us when they take someone on, not you.

Helpful?

Large banks, telecom companies, consulting firms, airlines, fast-growing startups and plenty more. Some companies share their name upfront, others stay confidential until the shortlist stage.

Helpful?

Both. Octo, our AI, interviews and assesses you. Our recruiters are real people who talk to you, line up interviews with hiring teams and help you through the offer.

Helpful?

We engage with over 100,000 candidates every month, and more than 2,000 professionals are working with Welocity today.

Getting started

From sign-up to your first match. It’s quick.

Hit “Get started”, create your profile, upload your CV and tell us what you’re looking for. Then do your Octo interview whenever suits you.

Helpful?

Yes. Your CV is how we match you to the right roles, so we need one to get going. A LinkedIn profile on its own isn’t enough, but feel free to add it as well.

Helpful?

The roles you want, your skills, where you’d like to work (on-site, hybrid or remote), your salary expectations and your notice period. The clearer you are, the better your matches.

Helpful?

A few minutes for your profile. Your Octo interview takes around 20 to 30 minutes, and you can do it whenever you’re ready.

Helpful?

No. That’s the point. Your profile and interview work for you across every role you’re a good fit for.

Helpful?

Takes a few minutes. Costs nothing. Ever.

Your Octo interview

Meet Octo, the AI that interviews you so you don’t have to do ten first rounds.

Octo is our AI video interviewer. It has a real conversation with you about your experience, asks follow-up questions based on what you say, and speaks 25+ languages.

Helpful?

You join a video call from your laptop or phone. Octo introduces itself, explains how it works, and then you talk about your work: what you’ve done, how you solved problems, how you think. It’s a conversation, not a quiz.

A candidate in an Octo interviewREC

OctoTell me about a project you’re proud of. What made it hard?

Helpful?

Usually 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the role.

Helpful?

A laptop is ideal, but your phone works too. Find a quiet spot with good light and a steady connection.

Helpful?

Think through a few projects you’re proud of and be ready to explain what you did, why, and what you’d do differently. Octo cares about how you think, so specifics beat buzzwords.

Helpful?

Yes. Octo interviews in 25+ languages, including English, Hindi, German and French.

Helpful?

Please don’t. It’s easy to read out one polished answer. It’s very hard to keep it up when Octo asks “why that?” and “what went wrong?” a few times in a row. Be yourself, it works better.

Helpful?

If your interview ended before 10 minutes, or something went wrong on our side or with your connection, yes. Get in touch and we’ll sort it.

Helpful?

Stop applying one by one. Let Octo do the legwork.

Assessments

Showing what you can do, not just what’s on your CV.

If the role needs one, yes. Developers get coding or SQL tasks, analysts get data problems, marketers get a case like a launch plan. It’s matched to the role, not one generic test for everyone.

Helpful?

Numa is our behavioural assessment. It looks at how you think and work: communication, ownership, how you handle pressure. It helps hiring teams see the person, not just the CV.

Helpful?

Not really. It’s about how you work, so the best approach is to answer honestly.

Helpful?

Easiest way to find out is to try it. It’s free, always.

To keep things fair for everyone. We check it’s really you, that only one voice is in the room, and that you stay on the assessment tab. Honest candidates have nothing to worry about.

FACE LIVE ✓IDENTITY ✓SINGLE VOICE ✓TAB FOCUS ✓
Helpful?

Every candidate gets a structured interview assessed against what the job actually needs, not who you know or whether the interviewer had a long day.

Helpful?

No, never. Octo interviews and assesses. A person always makes the final decision.

Helpful?

Always. We tell you upfront that Octo is an AI and how your data is used, and you agree before you start.

Your profile and privacy

Who sees your profile, and how we look after your data.

Only hiring managers at companies registered with Welocity. Your profile is never public.

Helpful?

Your profile isn’t public, and we share it with hiring teams for roles you match. If there’s a company you’d rather we avoid, tell your recruiter.

Helpful?

You can’t edit or delete it yourself just yet, we’re building that. In the meantime, email support@welocity.ai for changes, or dpo@welocity.ai if you’d like your data deleted.

Helpful?

Yes. We’re ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Your data is encrypted, access is tightly controlled, and it’s hosted in-region.

Helpful?

Only as long as it’s needed and as the law allows. If you ask us to delete it, we do.

Helpful?

Takes a few minutes. Costs nothing. Ever.

What happens after your interview.

We compare your profile, interview and assessments against what each role really needs: skills, experience, location, salary and notice period.

Helpful?

Hiring teams review profiles before interviews are lined up, so we can’t promise every match turns into an interview. What we can promise is that you’re only put forward for roles that genuinely fit.

Helpful?

Much faster than the usual wait. Our promise to companies is Hello to Hired in 48 Hours, so when a role fits, things move quickly.

Helpful?

Your profile stays active, and new roles come in all the time. Keep your preferences up to date with your recruiter so we match you to the right ones.

Staying safe

How to spot a scam using our name.

Never. Not for interviews, not for placements, not for training, not for anything. If anyone asks you for money in our name, it’s a scam.
