Parlacall for Recruiting & Staffing

Screen candidates in any language —and keep the screen on file.

Call the candidates you're already engaging on any number, translate the screen live, and keep a transcript for the shortlist. The candidate just answers the phone. No per-seat fee.

Or call without translation when you don't need it — the same browser dialer, the same shared wallet, billed by the minute.

The problem

The candidate you can't call is the placement you lose.

  • A strong candidate sits in a market your recruiter doesn't speak — so you hire a bilingual recruiter, lean on a colleague, or skip the market.
  • When you do get an interpreter on the line, it's slow to arrange and billed by the minute for a 20-minute screen.
  • And when the screen ends, the candidate's salary, notice, and relocation answers sit in a recruiter's head until the next call starts from scratch.

What changes
01

Any recruiter, any market.

Live two-way translation lets one recruiter screen candidates in languages they don't speak. The candidate just answers the phone — no app, no setup on their end.

The screen becomes a record.

Hang up and you have a transcript and summary to attach to the shortlist or client submission. Recording is off by default — you turn it on.

Built for the desk

One layer for every part of the pipeline.

  • Candidate screening

    Screen candidates in markets your recruiters don't speak — transcript ready for the shortlist.

  • Client & hiring-manager calls

    Brief international hiring managers and share the translated call record with the submission.

  • Offer & onboarding calls

    Walk candidates through offers and logistics in their own language — every detail on record.

Proof

What you'll see in week one.

Run it on the candidates you're already engaging — concrete things to check, not promises.

  • Your first translated candidate screen the same day you set up — on a candidate you're already engaging.
  • A transcript and summary waiting after each screen, ready to attach to a shortlist or client submission.
  • One shared wallet with per-recruiter spend showing exactly where the minutes went — no per-seat invoice.

Run it on the calls you'd make anyway, then compare the cost and the record against how you handle those screens today. Don't take our word for it — check it on your own candidates.

FAQ

Questions recruiting teams ask before they try it.

Which languages are supported?

13 languages with live two-way voice translation, covering the major sourcing markets. Tell us where you recruit and we'll confirm coverage.

How accurate is the translation?

It's AI, not a certified interpreter — strong for conversation and coordination, but verify names, numbers, and binding terms in the transcript. We don't position it as a language-proficiency assessment or for healthcare, legal, or emergency use.

Is this for cold outreach or candidates we're already talking to?

It's for candidates you're already engaging — not cold dialing. The workflow assumes you've made contact and are scheduling a screen.

Can we record screens and share them with clients?

Yes — recording is off by default, and you turn it on per call. Export the recording, transcript, and summary today; native ATS/CRM sync is on the roadmap.

Can it assess whether a candidate's language skills fit the role?

No — that's a human call, and the transcript is your record, not an assessment. Where the role needs a specific language proficiency, keep a human language check.

How does billing work?

A platform fee plus per-minute usage from one shared team wallet — no per-seat charge. Add every recruiter free and pay only for the minutes used.
