Arabic speakers apply across healthcare support, retail, transportation and hospitality, with large communities in Michigan, California, New York and Texas. PhoneScreen interviews them in Arabic (العربية) and gives you the result in English.

What changes, and what doesn't
For the candidate
The whole call is in Arabic, from the greeting to the goodbye. They answer the way they would explain it to a coworker, which is the answer you actually want to hear. If they ask for English, it switches.
For your team
Nothing changes. The same questions, the same rubric, a score out of 100 for every answer, and an English transcript next to the Arabic original. Nobody on your team needs to speak Arabic.

Common questions
How does a Arabic phone screen work? +
The candidate chooses Arabic on the apply form and calls the number. The interviewer greets them, asks your questions, follows up when an answer is thin and wraps up, all in Arabic. A minute after they hang up, you get the scorecard and transcript in English, with the Arabic original one click away.
Do I need to write the questions in Arabic? +
No. Write them once in English. The interviewer asks them in Arabic, keeping names, numbers and pay rates exact.
Does a Arabic screen cost extra? +
No. It is $4 per completed screen in every language, and your first 10 are free.
Can a candidate who chose Arabic switch to English? +
Yes. If they ask for English partway through, the interviewer switches and carries on with the next question.
