Your Mandarin-speaking candidates see Hirevire in Simplified Chinese. From the first click to submission.

Every button, instruction, prompt, and error message auto-translates. Write your interview questions in Simplified Chinese, and the entire candidate-facing experience renders natively. Available on every paid plan. No setup call. No add-on.

Live preview

The same Hirevire application page, rendered in English vs. 简体中文. This is exactly what your candidate sees.

Set the language once in your job settings, or add ?lang=zh-cn to any application URL. Candidates always see the experience in their language.

What translates, what does not

We are upfront about the scope, because hiring teams have been burned by tools that overclaim.

Auto-translated

What the candidate sees, automatically

  • All on-screen instructions and microcopy

  • Your careers page, if enabled
You configure

In the language you want answers in

  • Your interview questions
  • Any job-specific instructions you add
  • Candidate emails (invites and reminders default to English, and can be manually updated per job)

Teams hiring in mainland China and Singapore typically write questions in Simplified Chinese, and candidates respond in Simplified Chinese. Multinationals running bilingual roles sometimes write questions in English to screen for English fluency, while keeping the candidate UI in Chinese.

Your recruiter dashboard stays in English. Recruiters do not have to relearn an admin panel in another script, and candidates still get a fully native experience.

Why this matters

Mainland Chinese and Singaporean candidates routinely abandon English-only application flows, not because they cannot read the buttons, but because the friction signals that the role was not designed for them. You lose qualified people before they hit record.

Translating the candidate experience is not a polish feature. It is the difference between getting honest answers and only hearing from candidates who are comfortable navigating English software.

AI Reviews work on Simplified Chinese responses

Hirevire transcribes Mandarin audio and video responses, then runs your scorecard rubric against the transcript. You get the same AI-generated summary and scoring you would for English candidates.

Set the Transcription Language in your job's AI settings to Chinese for the cleanest transcripts. AI Reviews then surface candidate strengths, gaps against your rubric, and a recommended next step.

Three ways to set the language

Method 1

Set it in your job settings

When creating a job, pick Simplified Chinese from the language dropdown. Every candidate who opens that job sees the experience in Simplified Chinese, regardless of how they arrived.

Method 2

Use a URL parameter

Add ?lang=zh-cn to any application URL. Useful when sharing the same role across mainland China, Singapore, and overseas Chinese channels.

Method 3

Let candidates choose

If you do not set a language, candidates can toggle it themselves from the language picker in the application page footer. Useful for cross-border roles where Simplified and Traditional readers both apply.

All three methods work on every paid plan.

Pricing

Multilingual candidate experience is included on every paid plan at Hirevire. There is no separate language module, no per-language fee, and no minimum contract. You can change the language on any job, at any time, from your dashboard.
