New capability enables organizations to deliver the entire HighMatch assessment experience in more than 30 languages, creating a more inclusive candidate experience while helping employers make better hiring decisions across multilingual and global workforces.
Every qualified candidate deserves the opportunity to demonstrate who they are, not be limited by the language they speak.
At HighMatch, we’ve always believed that great hiring is about more than identifying people who have done a job before. It’s about helping organizations identify candidates who have the behaviors, abilities, and potential to succeed in the role. Too often, however, language becomes an unintended barrier that prevents qualified candidates from fully demonstrating those qualities.
HighMatch assessments already achieve an average completion rate of more than 92%, among the highest in the industry. As organizations hire across increasingly diverse communities and expand around the world, we’re committed to making that experience even more accessible.
Today, We’re Excited to Announce HighMatch’s New Multilingual Experience
Organizations can now deliver the complete HighMatch assessment, including instructions, personality questions, cognitive exercises, and the entire candidate experience, in more than 30 languages. Candidates simply select their preferred language from a dropdown menu before beginning the assessment, ensuring they can complete the experience in the language they’re most comfortable using.
Whether hiring hourly employees across multilingual communities in the United States or building teams around the world, organizations can now create a more accessible, inclusive hiring experience without sacrificing consistency or scientific rigor.
Hiring the Best Talent Means Removing Unnecessary Barriers
Across industries like retail, restaurants, construction, manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare, employers rely on talented individuals who speak a wide variety of languages. At the same time, global organizations need consistent hiring processes that work across countries while respecting local language preferences.
Too often, language becomes an unintended obstacle. Candidates may have the skills, behaviors, and potential to succeed but struggle to demonstrate those qualities when assessments are presented in a language they aren’t fully comfortable with.
HighMatch’s new multilingual capability removes that barrier, helping organizations evaluate candidates based on the qualities that predict success in the role, not their proficiency in a particular language.
A Familiar Experience, in the Candidate’s Preferred Language
The experience is intentionally simple.
When candidates launch a HighMatch assessment, they’re first presented with a dropdown menu where they can select their preferred language. From that point forward, the assessment, including instructions, personality questions, cognitive exercises, and completion screens, is presented entirely in that language.
Every HighMatch assessment supports multilingual delivery, eliminating the need to create separate assessments or manage multiple regional versions. Candidates can switch languages if needed, although doing so restarts the assessment to preserve its integrity and consistency.
Organizations using HighMatch’s Realistic Job Preview can also provide translated closed captions, allowing candidates to experience job preview content in their preferred language.
Built for Quality
Providing multilingual assessments isn’t simply about translating words.
HighMatch combines advanced machine translation with professional review by native-speaking linguists to deliver a natural, high-quality assessment experience across every supported language. Every assessment has also been fully validated before professional translation, ensuring organizations receive the same scientific rigor and consistency HighMatch is known for.
Our three most requested languages, English, Latin American Spanish, and French Canadian, receive an additional layer of professional linguistic review for even greater quality and consistency.
Supporting Organizations Wherever They Hire
This new capability addresses the needs of both organizations hiring multilingual workforces across the United States and enterprises operating around the globe.
U.S. employers can engage candidates in their preferred language, creating a more accessible hiring experience while reducing unnecessary friction. Global organizations can deliver a consistent assessment process across countries without requiring separate hiring workflows for each region.
More Than 30 Languages. Global Opportunity.
HighMatch now supports more than 30 languages across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, helping organizations reach candidates in many of the world’s largest labor markets.
Continuing to Improve the Candidate Experience
Removing language barriers is about more than creating a better candidate experience. It’s about helping employers make better hiring decisions by allowing every qualified candidate to demonstrate the qualities that matter most.
By enabling candidates to complete assessments in their preferred language, we expect organizations to engage even more qualified applicants while further improving completion rates and candidate satisfaction.
It’s another step toward our mission of helping organizations identify candidates who are willing and able to succeed, regardless of the language they speak.
A Milestone for HighMatch
“The best hiring decisions are made when every candidate has an equal opportunity to demonstrate their potential,” said Kelly Land, CEO of HighMatch. “As our clients grow across multilingual communities and global markets, they need hiring experiences that are both more inclusive and more consistent. Our new multilingual assessment experience removes language as a barrier, helping organizations make better hiring decisions today while positioning HighMatch for continued growth around the world.”
The launch of multilingual assessments marks another milestone in HighMatch’s ongoing investment in helping organizations hire more effectively, whether they’re recruiting in a single community or across multiple continents.
