Clients should not assume Ukrainian speakers prefer Russian even when bilingual — since 2022 this can cause distress. We confirm preferred language at booking.

Formats we interpret

On-site interpreters for employee onboarding, from group orientations to first-day paperwork

Employers onboard a whole group, one new hire at a time, or a series of groups. Pick the format closest to yours, and tell us the address, the room and the start time.

Group orientation

New hires who speak the same language sit together in a conference room or training room, and the interpreter interprets the presentation for them. Add the room and where the interpreter checks in to the booking notes.

One new hire at a desk

Benefits enrollment or a first-day paperwork review is often done with a single new hire and an HR contact. Book the hours for that one session, and the interpreter sits with the new hire.

Onboarding in waves

When new hires start in groups through the day or the week, book one block of hours that covers all the groups. Send the schedule with the start time of each group.

In-person onboarding

What to know about in-person onboarding with an interpreter

When the interpreter comes in person

Onboarding is usually held in person on the first day, in an orientation room or at the employer's site. When new hires who speak another language sit in the room, the interpreter sits with them and interprets the presentation as it goes. In-person interpreting also suits sessions where new hires fill in forms, because the interpreter is beside them when a question comes up. The interpreter works at the one address you give.

Who takes part

An HR representative or onboarding coordinator runs the session and explains the company's rules and forms. The new hires listen, ask questions and fill in their paperwork. A supervisor may stop in to meet them. The interpreter works in one language, so a room with new hires who speak two other languages needs two bookings.

The interpreter's role

The interpreter's job is to give the new hires the same orientation an English-speaking group would get. The presenter says a short part and stops, and the interpreter says all of it in the new hires' language. A new hire's question is put to the presenter in the first person. The interpreter is neutral, keeps what they hear confidential, and does not explain policies in their own words or help with the answers on a form.

Explaining a form

Forms and handouts

Onboarding often includes forms such as the I-9 and tax forms, and a handbook acknowledgment. The presenter explains each form and the interpreter interprets the explanation, while the new hires fill in the form themselves. Send the forms, the handbook and the slides with the booking, so the interpreter can prepare the terms.

On-site, video or phone

Choosing between on-site, video and phone for onboarding

Book an interpreter in the room when new hires start at your site. Video or phone suits new hires who are elsewhere.

How it works

How to book an on-site interpreter for employee onboarding

  1. Enter your details and get your instant quote

    Enter the date, the start time, the address of the orientation and the new hires' language. The price for the booked hours shows right away.

  2. Place your order

    Pay online to confirm. In your dashboard, add the agenda, the handbook and the forms, plus the room and where the interpreter checks in.

  3. Dispatcher runs and assigns an interpreter

    Our dispatcher checks the interpreters nearest the address first, assigns one who has interpreted orientations before, and confirms the name to you.

  4. The interpreter arrives at your venue

    At the address, the interpreter checks in as your notes say and sits with the new hires. They interpret the presentation and the questions until the booked hours end.

What you receive

  • The interpreter's name, confirmed before the first day.
  • The agenda, handbook and forms you added, in the booking for the interpreter to read first.
  • Travel inside the interpreter's metro area already in the hourly rate.

Every file and session is covered by an NDA and sent over an encrypted connection. Clinical matters are handled in line with HIPAA.

FAQ

Questions about on-site interpreters for onboarding

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.

Can't find it here?

01What should we send the interpreter before the first day?

Add the agenda, the slides, the handbook and the forms to the booking in your dashboard, along with the room and where to check in. The interpreter reads them before the session.

02Can the same interpreter come back for each new group?

Name the interpreter in the booking notes. We book the service rather than a particular person, so we take the request into account and assign them when they are available.

03How many hours should we book for an orientation?

Book the presentation, the questions and time for the forms, because the presenter pauses for the interpreter and unused time is not refunded. The total shows before you pay.

04Which languages are easiest to schedule for onboarding?

70 languages. Spanish, Haitian Creole, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Arabic and Mandarin are the easiest to schedule. A site far from a large city, or a rare language, needs more notice.

05How far ahead should we book?

At least 48 to 72 hours ahead, and earlier if you can.

06What if the start date changes?

Cancellation is in writing. You get a full refund more than seven days before the session, 75% between seven days and 48 hours before, and no refund in the last 48 hours.

07Are your Ukrainian interpreters certified?

Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Ukrainian interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.
