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

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