The past ten years have seen a tremendous shift in the global labor market. Organizations started to appreciate what people can actually do and what they bring to the table, rather than what their resumes state. Between 2021 and 2023, the gap between claimed capabilities and actual performance widened, as observed by McKinsey and the World Economic Forum. This is because more and more work was being done from remote work environments. All of these factors pointed towards the need for platforms that could assess, benchmark, and upskill talent in a broad range of technical and non-technical areas.
This is where WeCP—We Create Problems—came into the picture. It was founded in Bengaluru in 2016 by Abhishek Kaushik and Mohit Goyal. The founders realized early on that the campus recruitment process was a cycle that repeated the same coding problems, which didn’t help distinguish between someone who could apply concepts to real-world problems and someone who had just memorized the solutions. The goal was to enable organizations to create customized assessments, measure practical skills, and generate data-driven insights for recruitment and talent development. This began as a technical assessment platform for software engineering and eventually expanded to encompass a broader range of domains.
WeCP’s Talent Assessment Platform is a one-stop solution for large-scale skill assessments. By 2023, it had over 500,000 questions and 2,000 test templates in engineering, IT, QA, cybersecurity, DevOps, data science, and communication, behavioral, and aptitude skills. For organizations conducting high-volume hiring or internal mobility initiatives, this extensive content library enables consistent applicant assessment. The platform has automated scoring, time-based activity logs, and proctoring to ensure test integrity and efficiency in multiple regions.
By aligning candidate performance with role-based standards, WeCP enables organizations to identify training or upskilling needs. The assessment tool provides detailed reports with rich information—topic-wise performance, comparison across teams or cohorts, and individual competency levels. With this information at hand, talent managers can align workforce development initiatives with the organization’s values.
Efficiency through AI is another area of emphasis. WeCP AI develops customized assessments and questions for specific roles, reducing the time and effort required to design tests. It also generates multiple question variations to prevent content leakage and ensure assessments align with current industry standards. By using scenario-based simulations, the AI replicates real-world situations for candidates, helping recruiters better understand problem-solving skills in actual contexts. This is helpful for both mass hiring and specialized skill assessment.
Assessment is not restricted to technical knowledge. English Pro, a module of WeCP, tests reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, with grading aligned with global standards such as the CEFR to enable comparison across a broad pool of candidates. Culture Pro, another module, goes further by analyzing cognitive attributes, personality, and behavior through interactive video and scenario-based activities. When used together, these modules enable organizations to evaluate both soft and technical skills, supporting holistic talent assessment for global teams.
Proctoring and security remain at the core of trustworthy skill evaluation. The solution uses AI-powered proctoring to detect anomalies during online evaluations, ensuring marks accurately reflect the candidate’s skills. As remote hiring expanded post-2020, concerns about AI-assisted cheating, proxy participation, and deepfake attacks became more pronounced. To address interview security in this context, the founders of WeCP introduced a separate solution, Sherlock AI, in mid-2025. Sherlock AI operates independently from the WeCP platform and analyzes video, audio, behavioral patterns, and device usage to identify impersonation and AI-assisted attacks during interviews. Organizations can integrate Sherlock AI to provide additional verification and integrity protection as needed.
In campus hiring, high-volume recruitment is facilitated by rapid skill evaluation and automated reporting, reducing the time and effort required to filter through large candidate pools. For internal talent mobility initiatives, the solution is used to assess employees’ readiness for a new role, while skill mapping activities identify areas that require upskilling. Using real-world case studies, companies like Infosys, LTIMindtree, UST, Brillio, and Quinnox have reported benefits such as reduced recruitment cycles, improved alignment of candidates’ skills with job requirements, and increased operational efficiency by implementing WeCP’s solution.
Workforce development is another critical area where WeCP’s solution positively impacts the organization. The solution’s ability to identify skill gaps between the skills currently possessed by the workforce and those required for the organization’s success enables organizations to create better-informed learning programs for employees. Consequently, talent managers can align learning budgets with company needs, ensuring the skills required for their positions are delivered to the appropriate employees.
Strategy and analytics, along with historical data generated by the implementation of WeCP’s solution, enable organizations to monitor the evolution of skills over time and evaluate the effectiveness of upskilling initiatives based on trends and data.
In other words, WeCP, founded by Abhishek Kaushik and Mohit Goyal, has identified a niche that addresses both skill evaluation and talent development. By integrating technical and non-technical skills, along with behavior assessments, with AI-driven test development and smart analytics, it empowers companies to identify strengths and weaknesses and guide focused upskilling initiatives. The adoption of WeCP by enterprises indicates that a systematic, scalable assessment tool can enhance hiring accuracy and inform talent strategy in a dynamic, global workforce.
