Hiring Interpreters

Interpreters are normally hired in teams through a conference interpreter provider.

Providers specialize in the delicate task of assessing a conference organizer’s needs and putting together a fine-tuned team of professionals to satisfy his/her language and subject requirements, in a cost-effective manner.

The role requires a profound knowledge of conference interpreting best practices, and the skills of an expert project manager. Conference interpreters who recruit teams of interpreters are know as consultant Interpreters.

While many businesses provide interpreting services, only consultant interpreters, a few premium simultaneous equipment suppliers, and a handful of language service agencies have the specialized knowledge it takes to be quality conference interpreter providers.

Because they themselves are interpreters, consultant interpreters possess first-hand knowledge of the conference situation and can personally vouch for other interpreters’ skills and qualities. No one is better placed to ensure the best possible match between a team of interpreters and the conference organizer.
