Language proficiency screening

Check spoken language skills in a real conversation.

For roles that depend on a language, a written test is not enough. Intervue holds a natural spoken conversation and gives an indication of fluency, clarity and comprehension, so you know who can work in the language from day one.

What gets in the way

The problem today

01

Written tests miss speaking

Reading and grammar tests don’t show how someone speaks.

02

Assessors are scarce

Native-speaker interviewers aren’t always available.

03

Many languages, many markets

Global and regional teams need several languages assessed.
