      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "Begin with a pilot in a single market or function. Localise job adverts for that region, configure your ATS to tag and store language preferences and train a small group of hiring managers on structured interviews. Collect KPIs during the pilot to refine your playbook before scaling."

    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "Define role relevant language requirements and use validated assessments that measure practical tasks such as business writing or presentations. Avoid relying only on self reporting and provide interview questions in advance where appropriate to reduce disadvantage for non native speakers."

    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "Yes. AI assists with translation, CV parsing across languages and initial candidate matching. Use AI for volume tasks and ensure human review for final evaluations. Audit models for fairness and document when automated decisions are used."

    "name": "Who should own multilingual recruitment policies?",
    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "Best practice is hybrid ownership. Central HR should set standards, tools and governance. Local HR should adapt content and execute hiring in line with legal and cultural requirements. Local champions ensure relevance while central oversight preserves consistency."

      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "Pilot assessments with local employees, calibrate scoring to separate language difficulty from technical skill and replace culturally specific scenarios with behaviour based situations relevant to the role."
