Our Lens on Language
Our assessments are thorough and designed to evaluate candidates' language skills in real-world business contexts. Each assessment stage is tailored to ensure relevance to your specific industry and role requirements:
Understanding the brief
We start by discussing your needs for the role, team dynamics, and the ideal candidate profile. We also consider required terminology and industry context to tailor our approach, ensuring we set the right framework for the interview.
Oral Proficiency Interview
We utilise the STAR methodology to evaluate candidates' speaking skills. This structured approach encourages candidates to describe scenarios in detail, revealing their ability to communicate effectively in professional situations.
Writing Skills Test
Candidates complete a timed writing task, crafting formal business communications. This assessment evaluates their grammar, vocabulary, and clarity of expression, ensuring they can convey ideas effectively in writing.
Listening Test
Candidates listen to a relevant audio message and transcribe the content, assessing their comprehension of various accents and ability to identify key information and idiomatic expressions.
Reading Comprehension
Candidates read a job-related passage and summarise it, demonstrating their understanding of industry-specific vocabulary and their capacity for critical analysis and inference.
Comprehensive Reporting
We compile all assessment results into a detailed, CEFR-aligned report. This provides you with actionable insights into each candidate's language proficiency, enabling confident hiring decisions that support your business goals.
