Questions about hiring welders

Can I really judge a welder from video?

You can judge a lot. Bead consistency, tie-ins, and fit-up are visible on camera, which is enough to decide who is worth a weld test rather than testing everyone.

Can I filter by process, like TIG or pipe?

Yes. Welders tag their processes and materials and show the ones they actually run, so you can post for the exact work in front of you.

Do you verify weld certifications?

No. Vetano verifies identity with a government ID and shows demonstrated skill on video. Weld tests and certifications remain yours to administer and confirm.
