What is the network?

At Wethos, we're all about fostering meaningful connections and collaboration among talented professionals. That's why the Wethos network is a dynamic community of freelancers who are actively using our platform. We believe in cutting through the noise of traditional networking and sales pitches to provide a space where you can effortlessly connect with like-minded peers.

To become a part of this network, all you need to do is set up your profile and make yourself visible to others! Both Pro & Starter users have the option to join.

Head over to our detailed guide for step-by-step instructions on how to set up your profile and start taking advantage of the network. Below, you'll find a video walkthrough of the Wethos Network and a step-by-step guide on how to take the most advantage of it.

Why use the Wethos Network?

Find Trusted Contractors

We know that trust is essential as a freelancer. With the Wethos Network, you can discover potential contractors you can trust and rely on. We purposefully keep our network small to ensure this isn’t another network where you’ll be spammed with sales pitches.

Profile Badges for Clarity

Wethos profile badges are your shortcut to understanding a freelancer's credibility and qualifications. These badges indicate whether a freelancer is a Wethos Pro member or if their identity has been verified by our dedicated Wethos team or through our payments verification process. These visual cues make it easy for you to assess if a user is a good fit for your project at a glance.

Referrals Made Easy

Once your profile is set up and visible, you can use it as a powerful tool for self-promotion and referrals. If you come across a job opportunity that you or someone in your network would be great for, don't hesitate to showcase your skills or refer someone by sharing their Wethos profile. It's a straightforward process:

  1. Click the 'Share' icon located to the left of the profile you want to share. This will automatically copy the link

  2. Paste the link wherever it's relevant to give visibility to that particular profile.

Find contractors with mutual connections:

Connecting and collaborating with like-minded professionals is a key element of success on Wethos. Our platform not only helps you find potential contractors but also makes it easier to build your network through mutual connections. Collaborating with individuals who share mutual connections can lead to smoother and more productive working relationships. By leveraging mutual connections, you can organically grow your professional network, opening doors to future opportunities.

Explore profiles of professionals in your network or those with mutual connections by going to the network page. Scroll the page and find those that have the “mutual connections” icon. You can hover over it and get a quick glimpse or select the icon to view the full list.

My Connections:

At Wethos, we understand how important it is to keep track of your network and the connections you make along the way. With the “My Connections” section in the network page you can see the people you have connected with either through scrolling through the network page or from inviting friends that join Wethos.

Head over the “My connections” section of your network page and look for the “invite a friend” button. If you’re just getting started building your connections, you’ll see this button in the middle of the page, but if you’ve already started building your network, you can find the “invite a friend” option at the top right of your screen.
