Finding the right talent often means looking beyond borders.
Companies are seeking employees who not only have the right skills, but also speak different languages to cater to diverse markets. But as exciting as that sounds, multilingual hiring comes with its own set of challenges.
As a recruiter, how do you evaluate candidates who speak a language you don’t? How do you ensure a fair and consistent assessment without getting lost in translation?
That’s where Automated Video Interviews (AVI) come to the rescue. ZappyVue, our advanced on-demand video interview platform, is designed to make multilingual hiring easier, faster, and more effective.
Let’s walk through how ZappyVue can solve the common hurdles of hiring across languages.
Challenges in multilingual hiring
Hiring people who speak different languages sounds great, but it’s not always smooth sailing. Here’s why recruiters often struggle:
1. Language barriers in communication
Trying to understand someone’s skillset when you don’t speak the same language is borderline impossible.
Important details can get lost, and misunderstandings can happen, which can lead to missed opportunities for both the recruiter and the candidate.
2. Difficulty in assessing communication skills and cultural fit
Communication is key in any job, but assessing how well a candidate communicates in a different language is tricky.
Plus, imagine a candidate who has all the technical skills but prefers a formal communication style, while your team thrives on open, casual interactions.
Evaluating whether they’ll adapt to your company’s collaborative culture, especially without in-person cues, adds another layer of complexity.
3. Limited access to a diverse talent pool
Without the right tools, hiring across languages can feel overwhelming.
This means many recruiters end up limiting their talent search to candidates who speak the same language as their team, missing out on top talent who could be the perfect fit.
And not to mention the scheduling conflicts across time zones.
4. Inconsistent evaluations
Evaluating candidates in different languages can lead to inconsistencies.
It’s easy for hiring biases to creep in when interviewers aren’t comfortable with the language being spoken, which might result in unfair evaluations.
5. Time-consuming screening
Finding the right person for the job is time-consuming as it is.
Now imagine adding in multiple languages – finding interviewers fluent in each language, creating custom questions, and sorting through tons of responses. It’s exhausting.
