EVIDENCE

How to assess working-language experience

A language listed on a profile is one part of the information available to you.

Look for relevant experience

Useful evidence can include:

Work delivered in that language
Meetings or workshops conducted in that language
Research or interviews carried out in that language
Documents or other professional output produced in that language
Experience communicating with relevant customers, users or stakeholders

Discuss the job directly

Start a conversation with the talent and discuss:

Which language the job requires
Which parts of the work use that language
Whether spoken or written communication matters
Whether the talent has relevant experience using it professionally

The employer decides whether the talent’s language skills fit the job.

Further checks are the employer’s duty.

JOB FIT

Whether language should narrow your shortlist

Language can be a requirement or a preference depending on the job.

Make it a requirement

A specific working language may be required when the agreed work needs to be delivered, discussed or completed in that language.

Make it a preference

Language can also support smoother collaboration where the main deliverable does not depend on it.

Consider the full fit

Review language alongside:

Relevant expertise
Professional experience
Availability
Rate
Country or location requirements
Work setup: on site, remote or hybrid

Include the details a talent needs to understand the job.

Which language is required

Whether translation can be used
Any country or location requirement
Whether the work setup is on site, remote or hybrid
