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.

How it works, step by step

  1. In Zoom → Settings → Audio, set Connect Mic and Connect Speaker.
  2. Choose your language and the candidate's language, enable Bidirectional mode, and press CONNECT-ON.
  3. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Can Connect translate both the interviewer and candidate?

Yes. Enable Bidirectional mode and both sides are translated in real time on the same Zoom call.

Does the candidate need to install anything?

No — they join Zoom as usual and hear you in their language.
