- Lack of role-specific vocabulary leads to mistakes and slow progress.
- New hires lose confidence, leading to early departures and lost fees.

- Difficulty ensuring candidates are truly job-ready for specific roles.
How Language Barriers Block New Hire Integration for Employers
- Significant recruitment investments are at risk if new hires can't communicate effectively.

- Errors and project delays occur due to unclear communication.
- New hires find it hard to understand company culture and team dynamics.

International Recruitment & English Training: FAQs
FOR RECRUITMENT AGENCIES
How can Lingly help my agency improve placement success?
Lingly provides job-specific English training so candidates are better prepared for their roles. This reduces communication issues, builds their confidence, and helps them integrate successfully, leading to more stable placements and satisfied clients.
How does this impact our agency's bottom line?
Successful, long-term placements mean secured commission fees. By addressing potential language barriers proactively, you decrease the risk of early departures that can lead to fee clawbacks and increase your reputation for providing quality, job-ready candidates.
Can Lingly be used to assess candidate communication skills?
Yes, our assessment focuses on practical, workplace English for specific roles. It offers a clearer view of a candidate's ability to communicate in a job setting than general English tests, helping you match candidates more effectively.
When is the best time for candidates to use Lingly?
It's flexible. The assessment can be used during the selection process. The training program is ideal as a pre-arrival tool to prepare candidates before they travel, or as an early onboarding support once they've started their new role.
FOR EMPLOYERS HIRING INTERNATIONALLY
How does Lingly help reduce early turnover in international hires?
Communication difficulties are a key reason new hires leave. Lingly equips them with the specific English and confidence needed for their job and your workplace, helping them feel competent and connected, which significantly boosts retention.
Will this speed up the onboarding process for our international staff?
Yes. When new hires arrive with better job-specific English skills, they can understand instructions, ask relevant questions, and collaborate with their teams more effectively from the start. This shortens their learning curve and time to full productivity.
Our hires often have good general English scores. Why Lingly?
General English scores don't guarantee effective workplace communication. Lingly focuses on the practical English needed for their specific job tasks, industry terms, and your company's way of communicating, which are critical for daily performance.
How does Lingly support integration into our company culture?
Clear communication is key to cultural integration. Our training helps new hires understand workplace norms, participate in team discussions, and build relationships with colleagues more easily by overcoming language as a barrier.
LINGLY'S APPROACH TO LANGUAGE PREPARATION
How is Lingly's training tailored to different job roles?
We focus on the communication demands of the specific job. This includes industry-specific vocabulary, common workplace scenarios, and practice for tasks like explaining technical details, handling customer queries, or participating in team meetings, depending on the role.
How does the program build communication confidence?
Through practical, role-play based exercises with immediate feedback in a supportive environment. This allows learners to practice real-world communication, learn from mistakes without pressure, and build fluency for actual workplace interactions.
Is this for pre-arrival or after the new hire starts?
Lingly is effective both as a pre-arrival program, preparing candidates before they even begin their new role, and as an early onboarding tool to support them as they settle in and navigate their new work environment.
Built by immigrants, for immigrants
We built lingly from our own experiences as immigrants navigating new professional environments. We know the language barrier intimately and understand that overcoming it requires more than just technology – it requires the right support to build true confidence.
