Introducing HireVue Language Proficiency Tests: A smarter way to assess communication skills

Effective communication is the cornerstone of customer satisfaction and workplace collaboration. As global workforce hiring needs evolve, ensuring candidates have the right language skills is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. 

HireVue is excited to introduce our new HireVue Language Proficiency Tests to empower hiring teams to effectively evaluate communication proficiency at scale. 

What are HireVue Language Proficiency Tests?

HireVue’s Language Proficiency Tests empower hiring teams to assess candidates’ real-world communication skills at scale. Unlike traditional assessments that rely on multiple-choice questions, our tests use open-ended questions to evaluate reading, writing, speaking, and listening in a way that mirrors real-life conversations and workplace interactions.

These assessments are designed to support companies hiring for roles where language proficiency is crucial. Common use cases include:

• Global call centers: Assessing English proficiency for agents in non-English-speaking regions or verifying Spanish skills for near-shore teams supporting U.S. customers.
• Multinational companies: Evaluating candidates’ proficiency in both English and the local language to ensure seamless collaboration.
• Multicultural teams: Ensuring employees can communicate effectively in diverse workplaces.
• Hospitality and tourism: Confirming that front-line staff can engage with international guests in their preferred language.

Create a seamless hiring experience

HireVue offers AI-driven technology built to automate workflows and discover what your candidates are truly capable of doing. We offer a holistic hiring experience with integrated assessments and automation. Our science-backed approach ensures a fairer hiring process and superior candidate experience—all in a single, seamless workflow.

• Streamline hiring with an end-to-end experience: No more juggling multiple vendors. HireVue integrates structured interviewing, automation, and assessments into one seamless platform, making hiring more efficient and engaging.

• AI-powered efficiency for faster hiring: With automated scoring and ranking that’s backed by science, hiring teams can quickly identify top candidates, based on real proficiency levels, reducing time-to-hire while improving quality.

It takes more than a point solution to successfully hire a candidate. Simply putting together a series of one-off point solutions can leave your hiring process feeling disjointed and disappointing candidates and recruiters in the process. Incorporating Language Proficiency Tests with HireVue also means you need fewer vendors in your tech stack to drive real results.

HireVue supports the end-to-end hiring process with automation, structured interviewing, assessments for virtually every role and text engagement.  Your hiring process will be seamless, effective, and engaging.
