Post 12 - What language skills are on demand in Dublin?

I am a multilingual recruiter and sometimes candidates can get a little frustrated because they do not get quick feedback on their applications. This is the tricky part of my job and I must admit that I do not always come back to candidates as quickly as I'd like. The main problem in Multilingual recruitment is that we deal with huge volume of candidates. I place about 100 to 150 candidates a year so that keeps me busy :)

Some languages are on very high demand. Here is a list of languages that I am always recruiting for:

• German, all my clients are asking for German candidates, every day!
• Swiss German
• Dutch/Flemish
• Norwegian
• Danish
• Swedish
• Finnish
• French

Lately we have experienced a huge increase of demand for the following languages:

• Hebrew
• Arabic
• Russian

For the following languages we have lots of candidates so the competition is much higher and our clients would ask for exceptional candidates:

• Italian
• Spanish
• Portuguese/Brazilian Portuguese

My advice is to send a good, easy to read CV (bullet points please!). Make sure your nationality and language skills are on your CV, this is the first thing I am looking at.
