Before the first day
Phone interpreters for onboarding calls before the start date and about paperwork
Phone fits the small steps that come before and around orientation. Employers book it for these calls.
Calls before the start date
HR calls a new hire to confirm the start date, the place and what to bring, and an interpreter joins the same call. The new hire arrives knowing where to go.
Paperwork questions
A new hire has a question about the I-9, a tax form or the handbook acknowledgment, and HR explains it over the phone. Name the form in the booking notes, so the interpreter can prepare the terms.
Scheduling the first week
HR calls to set the day and time for orientation or benefits enrollment, and to confirm the new hire can attend. Book this call on its own, separate from the orientation.
Onboarding calls
What to know about onboarding calls with an interpreter
When phone is used
Phone is used for the parts of onboarding that need no slides and no screen, such as a call before the start date or a question about a form. A full orientation is a different matter, because new hires follow it with slides and handouts, so it is held in person or on video. Phone also works when no interpreter for the language is near the new hire, since the interpreter dials in from anywhere.
Who is on the line
An HR contact dials in to explain the start date or the paperwork. The new hire dials in from any phone, and a supervisor joins when the question is about the job or the schedule. The interpreter dials in for the new hire's language, and can add a third party to the call once everyone is on the line.

The interpreter's role
Without faces to watch, the interpreter keeps the order of speakers clear. HR says a short part and pauses, and the interpreter interprets it for the new hire in full, then interprets the new hire's reply. The interpreter stays neutral, keeps the call confidential, and does not tell the new hire what to write on a form.

Paperwork ahead of the call
Nothing can be shown on a call. Send the form and the handbook pages to the new hire beforehand, and add them to the booking notes for the interpreter. HR can then refer to a page or a line, and the new hire can follow on paper.
On-site, video or phone
Choosing between phone, video and on-site for onboarding
Phone works for the short calls around onboarding. The orientation itself usually needs slides or a room.
On-site
Book an interpreter in the room for a group orientation or a first-day paperwork session at the employer's site.
On-Site Interpretation for Employee Onboarding
Video (VRI)
Video is better for a presentation with slides, or for going through a form on screen.
Video-Remote Interpretation for Employee OnboardingPhone (OPI)
Phone fits a call before the start date or a question about one form.

Questions about phone interpreters for onboarding
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Can HR call the new hire with the interpreter on the line?
Yes. The interpreter can add a third party to the call once everyone is on the line. A new hire can also dial in on their own with the number and access code.
02Do new hires need an app or an account to join?
No. The new hire dials the number in the confirmation from any phone and uses the access code, with no app or link.
03What should we send before the call?
Name the form or the handbook section in the booking notes, and send the pages to the new hire. The interpreter reads the notes before the call.
04How is an onboarding call priced?
The booking is priced by the time you reserve, and the total shows before you pay. Book the length of the call you plan, with some room for the interpreted replies, because unused time is not refunded.
05Can one call include new hires who speak different languages?
No. A call uses one interpreter for English and one other language, so a second language needs its own session.
06Which languages can you interpret by phone for new hires?
70 languages. Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, French and Tagalog are the easiest to schedule, and rare languages need more notice.
07Are your Polish interpreters certified?
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Polish 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.
