Global hiring just got a lot simpler. Braintrust AIR now supports fully conversational interviews in 10 languages — and deploying multilingual screening requires zero additional configuration from your team.
The 10 supported languages are English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Hindi. More are on the way.
How It Works
When a candidate begins their AIR session, the platform automatically detects or prompts for their preferred language. The entire interview — the AI's questions, its follow-ups, and its adaptive probing — happens in that language from start to finish. There's no human translator in the loop, no pre-recorded questions, and no degraded experience for candidates interviewing in languages other than English.
Recruiters and hiring managers, regardless of their own language proficiency, receive standardized English-language scorecards and transcripts for every candidate. The AI handles the translation and normalization on the backend, so the evaluation is fully comparable across geographies.
Why This Matters
For global enterprises running high-volume hiring across multiple markets, language has historically been a significant barrier to centralized screening. A regional HR team in Brazil had to maintain entirely separate sourcing and screening workflows from the team in Germany — using different tools, different rubrics, and different benchmarks.
Multilingual AIR eliminates that fragmentation. One platform, one rubric, one set of competencies — deployed simultaneously across 10 languages. A candidate in Mumbai and a candidate in Munich applying for the same role get evaluated by the same AI using the same criteria, with the same consistency and objectivity.
Fairness Across Languages
A critical question for any multilingual AI system is whether assessment quality degrades in non-primary languages. Our testing and third-party audit work confirm that semantic scoring accuracy is maintained across all 10 supported languages. The AI evaluates the conceptual content and depth of responses, not surface-level vocabulary choices that might vary between native and non-native speakers.
Who Benefits Most
Multilingual interviews are particularly valuable for organizations in healthcare, logistics, retail, and customer service — industries where high-volume hiring spans geographically and linguistically diverse candidate pools. They're also valuable for global technology companies with engineering teams spread across multiple countries.
If your organization operates globally and your current screening process requires separate workflows by region, book a demo to see how a centralized, multilingual AI interview platform can standardize your top-of-funnel without sacrificing local relevance.
