Your Japanese candidates see Hirevire in Japanese. From the first click to submission.
Every button, instruction, prompt, and error message auto-translates. Write your interview questions in Japanese, and the entire candidate-facing experience renders natively. Available on every paid plan. No setup call. No add-on.
Set the language once in your job settings, or add ?lang=ja 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.
What the candidate sees, automatically
- All on-screen instructions and microcopy
- Buttons, navigation, and form labels
- Recording controls and progress indicators
- Camera and microphone permission prompts
- Error messages and validation prompts
- Submission confirmation and follow-up screens
- Your careers page, if enabled
Most teams hiring in Japan write their questions in Japanese, and candidates respond in Japanese. Some teams running bilingual programs write questions in English to screen for English proficiency, while still giving candidates the comfort of a Japanese UI.
A small but useful note: your recruiter dashboard stays in English. We did this on purpose. Your recruiters do not have to learn a Japanese admin panel, and your candidates still get a fully native experience.
Why this matters
A Japanese-speaking candidate landing on an interface with English buttons does not give you a fair signal. They get nervous, they second-guess clicks, they bounce before recording. You lose qualified people for reasons that have nothing to do with the job.
Translating the candidate experience is not a polish feature. It is the difference between getting honest answers and getting whoever can navigate your tool.
AI Reviews work on Japanese responses
Hirevire transcribes Japanese 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.
To get the best transcription accuracy, set the Transcription Language in your job's AI settings to Japanese. Once configured, AI Reviews 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 Japanese from the language dropdown. Every candidate who opens that job sees the experience in Japanese, regardless of how they arrived.
Use a URL parameter
Add ?lang=ja to any application URL. Useful when sharing the same job in multiple languages, or when sourcing candidates through region-specific 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 mixed-language sourcing where you cannot predict candidate preference.
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.
