Russian language support overview

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 Russian to better serve talent in Russia, CIS countries, and Russian-speaking communities globally.

Candidate-facing Russian localization

When you enable Russian for a job, the entire candidate journey is automatically translated. This includes the following elements:

• Application Forms: Labels and placeholders (e.g., "Имя," "Электронная почта").

• 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 Russian for a job

You can set the language preference on a per-job basis. This is ideal for companies hiring for specific roles in Russian-speaking regions.

1. Navigate to the Jobs tab in your dashboard.

2. Click Edit on an existing job or select Add Job.

3. Scroll down to the Language dropdown menu.

4. Select Russian (русский) from the list.

5. Click Save to apply the changes to the candidate application page.

Managing bilingual workflows

Many recruiters prefer a bilingual approach (English and Russian) 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 / Расскажите о себе").

• Email Templates: Candidate notifications (invites and reminders) default to English. You can manually update these templates in your job settings to include Russian 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 candidate application page.

Privacy and data protection

Hirevire is built with data security in mind regardless of the interface language. When Russian 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.
