Replacing Slow, Manual Language Assessments

As a recruitment business supporting multilingual hiring, Afranga needed language assessments that were both efficient and reliable.

While the team had successfully used Hallo for two languages, another language was still being assessed through traditional in-person evaluations a process that required additional coordination, delayed hiring decisions, and created unnecessary administrative work.

“Our previous in-person assessment process was something I really didn’t enjoy. Looking back, if I had known about Hallo earlier, I would have used it for that language as well.”

Beyond the assessment process itself, Afranga was also looking for a technology partner that would be responsive, supportive, and easy to work with throughout implementation.

THE SOLUTION

An Intuitive Platform Backed by Exceptional Support

After implementing Hallo, the team immediately appreciated how simple the platform was to use.

Creating assessments, inviting candidates, and reviewing results became straightforward, allowing recruiters to spend less time managing assessments and more time engaging with candidates.

Equally important was the experience working with the Hallo team.

Rather than simply providing software, Hallo partnered closely with Afranga to ensure the implementation was smooth and that questions were answered quickly along the way.

“The ease of use of the platform stood out immediately. But what really made the difference was the customer experience. I contacted several providers, and Joon was the only one who was consistently friendly, patient, and supportive throughout the process.”

THE RESULTS

Faster Decisions Without Increasing Costs

One of the biggest improvements was speed.

Previously, language assessment results could take days or even weeks to become available.

With Hallo, recruiters receive results almost immediately, dramatically reducing delays in the hiring process.

              “The turnaround is super-fast. Before, we sometimes had to wait for days or even weeks.”

Interestingly, the biggest return on investment wasn’t a reduction in assessment spend.

Instead, the value came from improving efficiency.

        “The budget is pretty much the same. It’s the ease of use and the time savings that have been the real    gamechanger.”

By removing unnecessary waiting time, recruiters could move qualified candidates through the hiring process more quickly while delivering a better overall candidate experience.
