Disrespectful Hiring Process - Foreign Language Interpreter/Translator LanguageLine Solutions Employee Review

Pros

Didn't have time to see any pros.

Cons

Be careful if you're selected to apparently "work" for them. The hiring process is through an outsource company but Language Line Solution doesn't trust 100% in the outsource hiring process so what do they do? They continue the hiring process using their own simplistic language test and TURN DOWN the candidate that had already been cleared by the outsource hiring company! They don't care if the candidate has passed the hiring process via the outsource company, they reject the candidate based on the candidate's language test instead of continuing the outsource company's process and invite the final candidates to a video call and test their language skills live! This process feels like a scam and a disrespect to the candidate who spent (literally) hours and hours going through the dynamic of the outsource company's hiring process.

LanguageLine has many partner relationships in the industry and we appreciate all of them. Your employment relationship is through one of our partners and not directly with LanguageLine. We would encourage you to reach out to them directly and share your feedback.

Thank you for your 5-star review and for the more than one year you have been part of our team in Monterey. We are glad to hear that you feel supported by a well-organized company, as we strive to provide a structured and professional environment for our interpreters. We also appreciate your perspective on same-day assignments; flexibility is often part of the meaningful work we do to support clients when they need language access most. Thank you for the important role you play in delivering quality interpretation services.

Pros

Stay home. That's all. Nothing else.

Cons

Fifteen seconds to recover between stressful calls. The health insurance they offer is super expensive for the poorly paid for hours you get. It does not match. Micromanage everything, constant supervised and not a proper guidance after being pointed the errors of the week. Extreme poorly paid for the higher quality of job that they want. The company charges 3 or 4 dollars for minute, but an interpreter gets paid 15 an hour before taxes. See the difference? Days off unpaid always. Not fair. Not even during sickness, grief or personal emergencies.
