Every button, instruction, prompt, and error message auto-translates. Write your interview questions in German, and the entire candidate-facing experience renders natively across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Available on every paid plan. No setup call. No add-on.
Set the language once in your job settings, or add ?lang=de 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.

DACH teams hiring for traditional Mittelstand or public-sector adjacent roles almost always write questions in German. Berlin-based startups and global firms in Munich or Zurich sometimes write in English to screen for fluency, while keeping the candidate UI in German so applicants feel respected.
Your recruiter dashboard stays in English. Recruiters do not have to relearn the admin panel, and candidates still get a fully native experience.
Why this matters
German candidates expect formal, well-localized application processes. An English-only flow reads as careless, especially for Mittelstand and Fachkraft roles where most candidates do their daily work in German.
Translating the candidate experience is not a polish feature. It is the difference between hiring the best Fachkraft and hiring whoever happens to be comfortable submitting forms in English.
AI Reviews work on German responses
Hirevire transcribes German audio and video responses, including Austrian and Swiss German accents, 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 German 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
Set it in your job settings
When creating a job, pick German from the language dropdown. Every candidate who opens that job sees the experience in German, regardless of how they arrived.
Use a URL parameter
Add ?lang=de to any application URL. Useful when sharing the same role across Germany, Austria, and Swiss German sourcing channels.
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 bilingual roles in international hubs like Berlin or Zurich.
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.
