HR and recruitment translation services

People matters are rarely just paperwork. A qualification may need checking, a new employee needs to understand their contract, or a manager needs to explain a change in policy. When language gets in the way, Atlas Translations can help you find a practical way forward.

We support HR departments, recruitment teams and employers with professional translation, interpreting, subtitling and voiceovers throughout the employee journey.

Recruitment and onboarding

Before someone joins your organisation, you may need to review documents issued in another country or language. We can translate CVs, references, background checks, diplomas, qualifications and other supporting documents, including certified translations where required.

Once you’ve found the right person, we can help with offer letters, employment contracts, onboarding materials and the information they need to get started.

Policies, handbooks and staff communications

Employees need to understand the information that affects their work. We translate staff handbooks, workplace policies, health and safety information, internal announcements and other HR communications with care for both accuracy and tone.

If you are rolling out materials in several languages, our project managers can help you keep terminology consistent across documents and updates. And if a phrase in the original could be misunderstood, we care enough to ask.

Training that reaches everyone

Staff training may be delivered through documents, presentations, videos or online courses. We can translate written materials and provide subtitles or voiceovers for training videos, helping employees follow the same guidance in a language they understand.

Tell us how the training will be used and what files you have. We will help you work out the best approach for your audience, format and budget.

Interpreting for HR conversations

Sometimes you need to speak with someone, not send another document. Atlas can arrange on-demand telephone interpreting for conversations that cannot wait, as well as pre-booked video or in-person interpreters for meetings that need more time and preparation.

That might include an interview, an onboarding meeting, a discussion about workplace support, or a sensitive conversation where everyone needs the chance to understand and be understood.

When matters become sensitive

Grievances, disciplinary matters, disputes and employment tribunals call for particular care. We can help with the translation of relevant correspondence and documents, and arrange appropriate interpreting for meetings or proceedings.

Our team will ask about the purpose, audience, deadline and confidentiality requirements so we can match the work with the right language professionals.

A human team for people matters

HR language is about more than finding equivalent words. The meaning must be clear, the tone appropriate and the people involved treated with care. At Atlas, an experienced project manager will discuss what you need and coordinate the right translation or interpreting service for the situation.
