Polish language support overview
Updated 3 months ago
Hirevire allows you to provide a localized experience for your candidates. While the recruiter admin panel remains in English, you can fully translate the candidate-facing application process into Polish to better serve talent in Poland and Polish-speaking regions.
The recruiter dashboard, job settings, and analytics are currently available in English only.
Candidate-facing Polish localization
When you enable Polish for a job, the entire candidate journey is automatically translated. This includes the following elements:
Application Forms: Labels and placeholders (e.g., "Imię," "Nazwisko," "Twój email").
Interview Controls: Buttons for recording, stopping, and replaying video/audio responses.
Instructions & Modals: Camera and microphone permission prompts and setup instructions.
System Messages: Error validations and submission confirmation screens.
How to enable Polish for a job
You can set the language preference on a per-job basis. This is ideal for companies hiring for specific roles in Polish-speaking regions.
Navigate to the Jobs tab in your dashboard.
Click Edit on an existing job or select Add Job.
Scroll down to the Language dropdown menu.
Select Polish from the list.
Click Save to apply the changes to the candidate application page.
To localize your entire careers page, go to Profile > Careers Page > Customize and update the language setting there.
Managing bilingual workflows
Many recruiters prefer a bilingual approach (English and Polish) to accommodate a wider pool of candidates. Since the system does not auto-translate your custom text, follow these best practices:
Manual Question Translation: Write your screening questions in both languages (e.g., "Tell us about yourself / Opowiedz nam o sobie").
Email Templates: Candidate notifications (invites and reminders) default to English. You can manually update these templates in your job settings to include Polish translations.
Candidate Language Picker: If a candidate prefers a different language, they can manually toggle between available options using the language picker located in the footer of the application page.
Privacy and GDPR for candidates in Poland
Localization in Hirevire is built with GDPR compliance in mind. When Polish is enabled, candidate-facing legal links—such as the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use—remain accessible in the footer. All candidate data, including video responses and AI-generated transcripts, is protected with bank-level encryption regardless of the interface language.
AI transcripts for Polish interviews are supported but may require you to set the "Transcription Language" to Polish within the job's AI settings to ensure the highest accuracy.
