Assess language proficiency

Cross-disciplinary competencies are an integral part of any candidate’s profile. They complement technical skills, create a positive image, and contribute to professional success. Candidates with good language skills will be better prepared to talk with people from different professional backgrounds. They are more likely to contribute to a good conversation and sustain the interest of their audience, making them are capable of developing  a wide network of contacts.

Be it foreign language skills, broad general knowledge, or exceptional communication skills, it is important to consider cross-disciplinary skills when looking for a the best candidate for your organisation.
