WeCP is built to ensure every hiring & training decision made using the platform is traceable, transparent, legally defensible, and compliant with data protection and fairness regulations. Whether you're hiring in highly regulated industries, managing diversity goals, or preparing for an audit, WeCP gives you the tools, logs, and data fidelity to stand behind every decision.


What Does "Auditability" Mean in Hiring?

Auditability refers to the ability to reconstruct, review, and explain the entire hiring process - from test design to final decision - with objective data. This can be well seen in the reports. See here

In WeCP, this means:

  • Every test attempt is logged in detail.

  • Question versions, difficulty levels, and randomizations are recorded.

  • All candidate actions (answers, time taken, flags) are time-stamped and traceable.

  • AI decisions come with explainable outputs (e.g., rubric-based scoring, confidence levels).

  • Human overrides (if any) are logged and attributed.

  • We even provide the complete video recording of the assessment session so it can be audited well if needed.


Let's say you want to respond to a candidate dispute


A candidate disputes their rejection, claiming the test was unfair or the evaluation was incorrect.

How WeCP helps:

  • Download a full candidate performance report showing all answers, time spent per question, and the evaluation logic.

  • Provide evaluation explainability logs, showing how writing/speaking answers were scored.

  • Share test blueprint to demonstrate alignment with the job role.

  • Show plagiarism reports, proctoring flags (like tab switches), or warnings to defend against integrity issues.

  • Show them the playback session of the assessment

This ensures your team can defend the decision confidently with documented evidence.


Let's say you want to check for compliance with global data protection and fair hiring laws

WeCP complies with:

  • GDPR (EU)

  • CPRA (California)

  • India DPDP Act

  • UK GDPR

  • EEOC Guidelines (U.S.)

WeCP ensures:

  • Role-based access control (RBAC) to sensitive candidate data

  • Data retention policies configurable to your jurisdiction

  • Candidate consent flows for audio/video and behavioral data

  • Bias-reduction practices in question and assessment design

  • Option for human-in-the-loop scoring for high-stakes use cases

  • More can be verified at trust.wecreateproblems.com


Let's say you want to do an internal audit or legal review


Your legal or compliance team requires proof that all hiring assessments were non-discriminatory and based on valid job-related criteria.

How WeCP helps:

  • Share the test design framework, showing questions mapped to job skills.

  • Provide candidate comparability data - ensuring all candidates received fair and randomized question sets from the same skill pool.

  • Show cut-off logic and rubric mapping to performance bands (excellent/good/average/poor).

  • Deliver an audit log of any manual scoring overrides or proctoring flags.

This makes your hiring process legally defensible and ethically sound.


Let's say you want to ensure diversity compliance


Your DEI team wants proof that tests do not disproportionately affect underrepresented groups.

How WeCP helps:

  • Run demographic performance analysis (anonymized and permissioned).

  • Use differential item functioning (DIF) checks for question bias.

  • Support localized test delivery (multiple languages, low-bandwidth modes).

  • Customize test structure to remove cultural bias or irrelevant metaphors.

This ensures assessments are inclusive, and hiring data stands up to external audits or DEI reviews.
