Languages & Culture
Bilingual recruitment is changing, becoming sharper and more sophisticated. Linguistic skills alone are no longer sufficient to satisfy an ever more demanding business environment.

Our candidates' background will generally illustrate a proven ability to integrate and develop a good understanding of the cultural differences.
In the context of a rapidly changing business environment within European and Worldwide markets, all companies face exciting challenges, prospects and opportunities. More than ever before, an effective recruitment strategy has become a key factor in the success of any company & organisation.
Brexit: Why a second-language will put you at a serious advantage
With the UK now outside of the European Union, we could see UK businesses employing a great deal more
multilingual employees to help with negotiations and trade with EU countries, particularly to facilitate
closer relationships with EU-based customers and suppliers.
As a result we could see the demand increase for French, German, Italian and Spanish jobs, amongst other languages jobs.
French is currently the most in-demand language in the UK (50%), followed by German (47%) and finally Spanish (30%).
Some examples of growing demand for French, German and Spanish jobs, amongst other languages jobs:
