3 Reasons we love this assessment

01
What 'fluent' actually means
Every candidate writes 'fluent English' on their CV. But that says nothing. Our Language Test places candidates on the international CEFR scale (A1 to C2) and tells you precisely whether someone is work-fluent or not quite.
02
60+ languages, one yardstick
Hiring in Poland, France, Brazil and Japan? One tool, one yardstick, 60+ languages. No different vendors per market, no incompatible scoring between candidates in different countries.
03
AI does the work, humans decide
The AI scores candidates on pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and fluency in real time, without a human reviewer. But the hire decision stays with you.
