Translate job interviews on Zoom
Interview the best candidate, whatever language they speak. Connect translates your Zoom interview live, both directions, with nothing for the candidate to install.
The problem
The strongest candidate for a role may not share your language, and a first-round Zoom interview shouldn't hinge on their English. You want to assess skills and fit fairly, without the cost and scheduling of a human interpreter for every screen. A repeatable device path prevents silent or untranslated calls.
How it works, step by step
The workflow stays inside the calling app you already use. Complete these steps in order to route and translate the conversation. Use a short test call to verify both directions and make sure the selected translation mode matches the routing. Keep app-specific audio controls visible while testing because they can override system defaults.
- In Zoom → Settings → Audio, set Connect Mic and Connect Speaker.
- Choose your language and the candidate's language, enable Bidirectional mode, and press CONNECT-ON.
- Interview normally — your questions and their answers are translated live, both ways.
Why Connect fits this workflow
Bidirectional mode makes interviews genuinely two-way: you speak your language, they speak theirs, and Connect translates in both directions under about 500 ms while preserving tone — which helps you read confidence and nuance. See the hiring solution and the Zoom integration. Confirm the physical devices inside Connect before selecting its virtual microphone and speaker in the calling application.
