Leading Provider of Language-Based Services to Double its Interpreter Workforce

Language Line Services Launches Large Scale Recruitment Effort to Take Advantage of Market Growth and New Client Demand for Language Interpretation Solutions

Monterey, CA (August 21, 2007) Even if they only operate locally, today’s businesses are embracing multilingual tactics in order to compete in the global marketplace. The growing needs of government organizations and businesses serving our country’s population of limited English speakers has prompted Language Line Services, the world’s leading provider of language-based services, to launch a large scale recruitment effort. Language Line Services has announced plans to double its global interpreter workforce over the next two years to keep up with the exploding demand for its services. Currently, the company employs approximately 3,000 professional interpreters worldwide.

Language Line Services’ interpreters provide services in more than 175 languages that are available to clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. Interpreters are trained to assist the customers of companies in various fields including banking, telecom and insurance.  In addition, Language Line Services offers phone interpretation to hospitals, courts, 911 call centers, and other emergency first responders across the United States, Canada and United Kingdom.

Currently, the majority of Language Line Services’ interpreter employment opportunities in the United States are for work-from-home positions.  Since its inception, Language Line Services has given its employed interpreters the ability to work from home and the results have been very successful.

Language Line Services is continuously recruiting interpreters in all languages, but currently the top languages being recruited for are Burmese, Cantonese, Greek, Indonesian, Korean, Mandarin, Marshallese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tibetan and Vietnamese.  No prior interpretation experience is required as Language Line Services provides an extensive orientation program accompanied by ongoing training and mentoring in interpreting for professional fields such as banking, medical, technical interpreting for its employees.

Louis Provenzano, Language Line Services’ President and Chief Operating Officer, noted that the company’s business has expanded rapidly and continues to grow as a result of favorable market conditions and the company’s evolving suite of innovative and high quality language solutions.
