Phone screens in Spanish, scorecards in English
Spanish is the most spoken language in the United States after English, and in warehouses, kitchens, hotels, construction and home care it is often the language a strong applicant thinks in. PhoneScreen interviews them in Spanish (Español) and gives you the result in English.

What changes, and what doesn't
For the candidate
The whole call is in Spanish, 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 Spanish original. Nobody on your team needs to speak Spanish.

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