Multilingual Interviews Connecting Global Talent with Local Teams
By leveraging Multilingual AI Recruiting, organisations can enhance their talent acquisition strategies and overcome language challenges.
Global recruiting often fails not because of a lack of talent, but because of language barriers. When candidates struggle to express themselves in a foreign language, valuable potential can be lost. The AI Recruiting Platform MONA bridges this gap with fully multilingual digital interviews that connect international applicants with local hiring teams — fairly, consistently and in full compliance with European data protection standards.
With the rise of Multilingual AI Recruiting, companies can now tap into a wider pool of candidates.
The challenge of language in global recruitment
Many global companies recruit across several regions, but interview processes are often conducted only in English. This disadvantages talented candidates who are fluent in their profession but not in the language used in interviews. As a result, organisations miss out on diverse, highly qualified individuals who communicate differently.
For employers aiming to build inclusive international teams, language flexibility is not just convenient — it is a competitive advantage.
How MONA enables multilingual interviewing
MONA’s AI avatars can conduct interviews in more than fifty languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Turkish and Spanish. Candidates interact in their preferred language, while HR managers receive the structured report in English or any other chosen language. This allows multinational organisations to evaluate global applicants on an equal footing.
Language models within the platform capture nuance and context rather than translating literally. This ensures that tone, motivation and clarity are preserved throughout. The result is a fair and authentic assessment of each applicant, regardless of their geographical location or first language.
Benefits of multilingual AI recruiting
- Inclusivity: Candidates are interviewed in their native language, promoting equality and engagement.
- Accuracy: Subtle communication cues are preserved, improving interpretation of intent and motivation.
- Speed: Global candidates can interview immediately without waiting for translation or bilingual staff.
- Consistency: All applicants follow the same structure across all markets.
- Compliance: All interviews are conducted in accordance with GDPR, DSGVO, and Swiss DSG regulations.

Integration with local HR systems
MONA seamlessly integrates with existing HR tools, ensuring that multilingual interview data is securely transmitted into your Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or CRM. The platform supports automatic translation of summaries for local review and group comparison. Learn more about integration options on the Petatec IT Services and Consulting page.
Cross cultural understanding through AI
True inclusivity means understanding not only cultural communication styles but also language. MONA’s multilingual avatars adjust their tone, pace, and formality based on the cultural context. A candidate from Zurich or Istanbul experiences a conversation aligned with local etiquette, while the hiring team receives clear and neutral summaries. This approach supports cross-border collaboration and a genuine global mindset in recruitment.
Real world example of multilingual hiring
A Swiss technology company used MONA to hire seasonal engineers from Southern Europe. The interviews were conducted in Italian and Spanish, while the summaries were provided to managers in English. Completion rates rose by thirty per cent and the number of qualified hires doubled within two recruitment cycles. Candidates described the process as professional and personal, even across languages.
This demonstrates how multilingual AI recruiting can widen access to talent without compromising speed or consistency.
Insights from global HR experts
According to RecruitingDaily, multilingual AI tools reduce early drop offs by offering applicants more comfort and control. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) emphasises that multilingual engagement enhances diversity outcomes by facilitating culturally sensitive assessments.
Strategic advantage for international employers
In an increasingly borderless labour market, speed and communication define competitiveness. Organisations that can interview across languages attract a broader, more diverse range of candidates and build trust earlier. The AI Recruiting Platform MONA delivers this capability while maintaining the professionalism and security that international HR demands.
