Conducting interviews in multiple languages allows your team to engage with a broader talent pool and provides a more comfortable, inclusive experience for diverse candidates. Alex can speak 30+ languages!

How multilingual interviews work

By default, Alex conducts interviews in English. However, when you select a non-English voice for a specific job, you unlock the ability to conduct multilingual interviews through the “Allow English Passthrough” setting.
  • When enabled: Alex starts the interview in the language that is in the Interview Guide, but can seamlessly switch between the chosen non-English language and English if the candidate requests it.
  • When disabled: The interview will remain strictly in the selected non-English language for the entire duration.

Dependencies

The multilingual toggle is dependent on your voice selection. You must select a non-English voice and language for the interview before the passthrough setting becomes available to toggle.

How to configure multilingual settings

To enable Alex to understand and converse in multiple languages for a job:
  1. Navigate to your Job’s Settings.
  2. Under Interview Voice & Language, select a non-English voice from the dropdown menu.
  3. Once a non-English voice is chosen, the Allow English Passthrough setting will become active.
  4. Toggle the switch On to allow the candidate to switch between the selected language and English during the interview.
  5. Save your settings to apply the new language preferences.
By default, if multilingual is enabled, Alex can only speak and understand two languages at a time: English and a non-English language. Reach out to support if you need more than two languages supported at a time.
