English-only interviews screen out people who can do the job

For many frontline and field jobs, English is not the language of the work. A screen in English filters people out before anyone hears what they know.

Good people give short answers in a second language

Candidates who think in another language say less than they know. Their scores drop for the wrong reason.

You need a recruiter for every language

Hiring across regions means finding someone who speaks each language, or skipping those candidates.

Notes in different languages can’t be compared

A hiring manager cannot line up interview notes written in Arabic, Japanese and English side by side.

Everyone lands on one ranked list, whatever language they used

A warehouse lead, a field sales rep or a store associate may not use English at work. Goodfit lets each candidate interview in their own language. Everyone for the role lands on one list, scored on the same skills.

  • Accent does not affect the score. Fluency only counts if you turn on language scoring.
  • Every language uses the same questions and rubric
  • The list shows the language each person used

You choose which languages each interview offers

Goodfit interviews in English, Arabic, Japanese and 11 more languages. You turn on the ones each interview should offer, and English is always there. Each language has its own interviewer voices to choose from.

  • Turn languages on or off for each interview
  • Pick a voice for each language and play a sample
  • Phone and browser interviews offer the same languages

Candidates pick their language before the first question

In the browser, candidates choose from the languages you turned on for the interview. On a phone call, the AI asks which one they want. Every question and follow-up then comes in that language.

  • Candidates only see the languages you allowed
  • Bilingual candidates can choose English
  • The language they picked shows on the report

Candidates can switch language in the middle of the interview

Some candidates start in English and then find it easier to explain in another language. They can ask the AI to switch. It carries on from the same question in the new language. One setting on each interview turns this on or off.

  • The AI only switches to languages you turned on
  • Each part of the call is scored in the language it was spoken in
  • Leave it off for roles where English is part of the job

The AI understands answers that mix two languages

People mix languages in one sentence and use English words for work terms. The AI follows along and scores what the answer means.

  • English work words inside another language are understood
  • Follow-up questions come back in the candidate’s language
  • Mixed answers are transcribed the way they were spoken

You write each question once, and every language uses it

The AI asks your question in each candidate’s language. Every answer is scored against the same ideal answer, whatever language it came in. That keeps answers in different languages on the same scale.

  • One rubric covers every language
  • Ideal answers are written once, in English
  • Scores and reasons come back in English

Reports come back in English, with the original words one click away

Hiring managers read the same English report for every interview. Each skill score has a reason and the candidate’s quote, shown in English. One click shows the original words. Click any line to hear the original audio.

  • The full transcript switches between English and the original
  • The recording stays in the language that was spoken
  • A bilingual reviewer can check any score against the audio

You can score how well candidates speak the language they chose

Turn on language scoring and the report adds grammar, vocabulary, fluency and coherence. Each one is judged in the language the candidate actually spoke. A candidate who answers in Japanese is scored only on their Japanese.

  • Each of the four scores has a short reason
  • Levels use the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2
  • Leave it off for roles where speaking style does not matter

FAQ

Questions teams ask about Multilingual Interviews

Which languages are supported?
Fourteen, including English, Arabic and Japanese. The interview builder lists all of them. You turn on the ones each interview should offer, and English is always available.
Can a candidate change language halfway through?
Yes, if you turn on “Allow multi-lingual responses” for the interview. The candidate asks, and the AI carries on in that language from the same question. It only switches to languages you turned on.
Is this machine translation of an English interview?
No. The AI listens and speaks in the candidate’s language during the interview. Translation is only used to show your team the report in English.
What language is the scorecard in?
English, for every interview. Scores, written reasons and strengths are all in English, so a hiring manager can compare everyone on one list.
Are the candidate’s quotes translated?
Yes. Quotes appear in English on the scorecard, and one click shows the original words. The recording keeps the candidate’s own voice and language.
Is a candidate marked down for not speaking English?
No. Answers are scored on what they say. If you turn on language scoring, it judges grammar, vocabulary, fluency and coherence in the language the candidate actually spoke.
How do you keep scores consistent across languages?
Every language uses the same questions, the same ideal answers and the same rubric. Each score quotes the candidate and links to the original audio, so a bilingual reviewer can check it.
Can bilingual candidates choose English?
Yes. English is always on the list. Candidates pick the language they are most comfortable using to talk about their work.
Does it work on phone calls?
Yes. On a phone call, the AI asks which language the candidate wants before the first question. The call needs no app or internet, and candidates can change language on the call too.
Can we score spoken skill in a language other than English?
Yes. Language scoring judges grammar, vocabulary, fluency and coherence in whatever language the candidate spoke. Each one gets a CEFR level from A1 to C2.
