Spoken Language Skills Lite (English - American)

The Spoken Language Skills Lite (English - American) assessment is a fast way to ensure that a candidate can understand and speak English.

The assessment leverages multiple modern technologies for voice recognition, speech-to-text, natural language processing, auto-translation, and machine learning-based essay scoring and presentation analysis to evaluate the ability of a person to carry on a natural conversation in a specific language.

Consistent use of an interview guide is an important part of gaining better candidate insights and making better staffing and selection decisions.
