Automated service for HR and recruiters

The best way to do this is to take a certified test. It is a reliable and accurate way to get information about the level of language proficiency.

Taking into account the specifics of different needs for the position, we recommend choosing specialized testing. It can include professional vocabulary and check the skills that will be required in the job (for example, correspondence or communication in a foreign language, work with technical documentation, etc.)

Another option is a test (interview) with a native speaker. Communicating with a native speaker or using the language in real-life situations can help determine the level of language proficiency. If the candidate/employee is able to communicate without major difficulties and understands the speaker’s naturally, this indicates a decent level.

Testing employees’ language skills solves several important issues for organizations and companies:

Recruitment.

Recruiters use testing to determine whether a candidate is suitable for a particular position in terms of foreign language skills. Testing can help reduce the number of candidates at the first stage and select those who have the best chance of success in the organization.

Language level assessment.

Language skills testing helps determine the level of language proficiency of each employee. This may include assessing the ability to speak, read, write, and understand the language.

Assessment of language skills for special tasks.

Some positions require specialized language skills, such as medical or legal terms, etc. Testing can help determine the extent to which candidates or employees have these specialized language skills.

Improving professional competence.

Testing can be used to identify language training and development needs. Individualized training plans can be developed as a result of the test.

Grading.

Language skills can be used as part of employee grading. It helps to resolve issues related to employees’ career development, including the possibility of transferring to another position, promotion, or participation in projects.

In general, testing employees’ language skills helps to ensure a high level of language competence in an organization and can be a useful tool for selecting candidates and further developing staff.

• recruitment of new employees
• verification of an external language training provider (independent verification)
• the need for team training (before entering a new market or before starting work on a new international project)
• employee grading (when the assessment includes language competencies)

Conducting a team language test can be important to ensure effective communication and collaboration, especially in international companies. Here are a few steps you can take to make your team language testing more effective:

Define the goals and objectives.

These may include ensuring effective communication, fulfilling specific language requirements for a new position, expanding functionality, or other goals. Inform the team why you need to assess language proficiency.

Choose your evaluation methods.

First and foremost, they should meet your goals and needs. This may include passive knowledge tests, written tests, oral interviews, practical assignments, or a combination of these methods.

Choose a provider.

When choosing a test provider, consider the following criteria: choose a test that is certified, check for specialized tests and native speakers (for speaking skills). Testing should be independent and transparent to the team. After passing the test, the provider should draw up a detailed report on the results.

Conduct testing.

Conduct testing to ensure confidentiality and objectivity of the process. In our case, nothing is required from the company and its representatives – go to the platform, we have already prepared everything 🙂

Evaluate and report the results.

Receive a report and pay attention to individual and general improvements that may be necessary to increase the level of language competence of your team.
