Remove Language Barriers in Hiring Qualified Candidates
Employers sometimes miss out on hiring qualified candidates due to language differences that hinder communication. Even when hiring from a multilingual pool, the translation process can create delays and misunderstandings, often resulting in lost details and added workload.
How you might currently be doing this
- Using bilingual supervisors or team members to interpret
- Providing translated job applications and onboarding materials
- Relying on Google Translate or other translation apps
- Offering language training programs for employees
- Posting bilingual job advertisements
- Using third-party translation services for interviews or paperwork
- Conducting interviews with a translator present
- Hiring from specific communities with shared language skills
How to do this more effectively: Translate messages directly and automatically within your messaging platform.
