Multi-sector recruiter Search Consultancy has launched a new language division.

The division - Search Your Language - provides native speakers for business and customer service roles across the UK.

Simone Corcoran, director of Scotland-based Search Consultancy, says: “We estimate there are around 100 companies in Scotland alone who have a need for fluent speakers, chiefly in European languages. Many brands target customers in France, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands as well as the Nordic countries, so the need for foreign language skills is huge even to serve our near European neighbours.
 

“Search Your Language allows us to use the depth of our UK network of offices and extensive database of candidates to deliver full and part-time linguists suitable for a wide range of roles. Many of our candidates are students, immigrants or international travellers who may be staying in the UK for a defined period of time. They bring a variety of skills with them but it is their language fluency which makes them suitable for training and shaping into the multitude of roles our clients require.”
