How to assess English fluency remotely without guessing

Almost every remote applicant lists English as advanced. Almost none have been tested on it in the situation your job requires — under mild pressure, out loud, about an unfamiliar topic.

Match the test to the job

• Phone-facing roles: needs fast, clear speech under interruption
• Written support roles: needs accurate, tone-appropriate writing
• Internal technical roles: needs comprehension more than fluency

A simple reliable test

Ask an unscripted follow-up question. Rehearsed answers are smooth; the follow-up reveals real working fluency. This is exactly what a video screening with adaptive follow-ups produces.

Accent is not fluency

Judge comprehensibility and speed of understanding, not accent neutrality. Customers adapt to accents quickly; they do not adapt to confusion.
