Curious how language barriers shape your hiring decisions? Share your strategies for assessing communication skills.

When assessing candidates who struggle with language, I focus on their ability to communicate coherently during discussions and express themselves, even with a limited vocabulary. I also evaluate their written communication through tasks like email replies and observe nonverbal cues such as body language and eye contact. Additionally, I consider their willingness to ask questions or seek clarification, as this indicates flexibility and a proactive communication style. Overall, I look for clarity, engagement, and a positive attitude in overcoming language barriers.
