Use Spanish Hiring in Workstream

Workstream's Spanish Hiring feature helps you reach a wider applicant pool by translating your Careers page, job postings, and applicant communications into Spanish.

Applicants can apply, schedule interviews, and receive messages in their preferred language, while your team can still view everything in English inside Workstream.

📌 Access needed: You need the Edit company info permission to enable or edit Spanish hiring. If you don't have it, reach out to your Super Admin.
