THE CHALLENGE

Managing Language Assessments Across Multiple Languages

Language Services Direct & Simon & Simon International provide professional language training and assessment services for businesses, with a focus on understanding learners’ strengths, weaknesses and progress.

Before using Hallo, language assessments were evaluated manually through teachers. While this approach provided valuable expertise and personalised feedback, manually assessing candidates can require significant time and resources, particularly when assessments need to be conducted across multiple languages.

As the organisation continued to support learners across different language programmes, there was an opportunity to make the assessment process faster and more scalable while maintaining a reliable way to evaluate language proficiency.

 

THE SOLUTION

A Faster, Flexible Assessment Approach

Hallo provided Language Services Direct & Simon & Simon International with an AI-powered assessment platform that could support multiple languages and simplify the evaluation process.

Today, the team regularly uses Hallo assessments for four key languages:

  • English
  • German
  • Italian
  • French

For Patrycja Palka, Senior Account Manager at Language Services Direct, one of the biggest advantages of Hallo is the range of assessments available and the ability to tailor assessments to different industries.

Instead of relying entirely on manual teacher-led evaluation, the team can use Hallo to streamline the assessment process and obtain results more efficiently.

“The range of assessments it offers, tailored to different industries.”

— Patrycja Palka, Senior Account Manager, Simon & Simon International

 

THE RESULTS

Faster Evaluation and Lower Assessment Costs

Using Hallo has made the assessment process definitely quicker compared with the previous approach, according to Patrycja.

While the team does not currently have an exact measurement of the time saved per candidate, the shift from fully manual evaluation to an AI-supported assessment workflow has helped make the process more efficient.

The financial impact has also been significant. Language Services Direct & Simon & Simon International estimate that using Hallo has resulted in around 30% in budget savings.

The platform also gives the team access to assessments across four frequently used languages, helping support its multilingual training and assessment requirements.
