Judge the candidate, not their second language.
Many of the UK's best warehouse operatives, carers, chefs and drivers think faster in Polish, Romanian, Urdu or Portuguese than in English. BeCareers holds the screening conversation in the candidate's own language, then gives you the transcript and summary in English.
How multilingual screening works
Native, not translated afterwards
The AI screening agent has the conversation in the candidate's preferred language from the start, so follow-up questions make sense in context.
Read everything in English
Transcripts and summaries arrive in English, so your team can compare every applicant side by side, whatever language they used.
English where the role needs it
If a role needs spoken or written English - customer-facing, safety-critical, regulated - make it one of your criteria and it will be screened for.
Why it matters for fair hiring
An English-only first stage quietly filters out capable people before anyone has spoken to them. That costs you good hires, and it's hard to defend when the job doesn't need fluent English.
Bigger talent pool
Reach applicants who would never get through an English phone screen, even though they could do the job well.
A process you can defend
Only screen for language when the role needs it. See our guide to AI screening and the Equality Act.
Accessibility is next
British Sign Language support is on our roadmap. Equal opportunity means making the process work for everyone.
