Language Tests for Hiring and Team Assessment

HR teams use Examinizer to check language skills before the interview, not after. You send a candidate a link. They take a 25-question test. You get a score and CEFR level back in under 30 minutes. They do not need an account.

The certificate has a unique verification code. Check it yourself at examinizer.net/verify/ rather than trusting a PDF someone emailed you.

What companies use it for

The most common use case is pre-interview screening. Instead of asking candidates to self-report their language level, you send a test link with the application. Candidates who do not meet the minimum CEFR level do not proceed to the interview stage. This works particularly well for customer-facing roles, international sales positions, and multilingual support teams.

A second common use is onboarding. When a new hire joins from another country, a quick test establishes their actual English or local language level, which informs how much support they need during their first weeks.

Some HR teams also use it for internal promotions. If a role requires B2 English and the current holder of the role is being considered for a transfer, the test gives you an objective data point alongside the performance review.

What you can test

Languages: English (general and business), German, French, Spanish, Italian, Czech, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese.

How it works

Share the test URL. The candidate completes 25 questions in about 25 minutes, gets results instantly, and receives a certificate with a QR code. Taking the test is free. An official PDF certificate costs $8 (incl. EU VAT).

There is no setup on your end. No admin panel, no per-seat fee, no contract. You copy a link from the tests page and send it.

FAQ

Yes. Each person gets their own result and certificate independently. The link is not single-use.
It uses the same CEFR framework (A1–C2). It is a screener, not a replacement for official exams — but accurate enough to filter candidates before investing in an interview. If a role requires a formal certificate from a recognised body, this test is not a substitute for that.
Go to examinizer.net/verify/ and enter the certificate code from the PDF. It takes about 10 seconds.
No. They open the link, take the test, get results. An account is only needed if they want to save the certificate to a profile.
Not currently. Each certificate is $8 (incl. EU VAT) regardless of volume. The test itself is always free.
