Find out how well a candidate speaks and writes Italian before anyone interviews them. A link out, a CEFR level back in minutes. Nobody on your team has to speak it.
Roles that commonly ask for it
Italian is required for support teams serving Italy, which are often run from multilingual hubs elsewhere in Europe, and for luxury retail, fashion, hospitality and tourism roles where the customer expects to be served in Italian.
The pool of native speakers applying for roles outside Italy is small, so many candidates learned the language. Their levels vary widely, and a CV line saying "fluent" covers all of them.
The same structure, timings and rubric for everyone, in Italian. The buttons and timers around the questions follow the candidate's own language, so nobody is scored on operating the page.
Two everyday questions, one longer topic, then a short passage read aloud, which isolates pronunciation from the content of an answer. Each question is read aloud in Italian, and the pale stretch before each answer is think time.

One scale across every language: a B2 in Italian means what a B2 in English means.
How the scoring worksSpeaking & Writing · Italian
Held the thread of an argument across a long answer and recovered naturally after losing a word. Vocabulary was appropriate to a professional register throughout.
Hesitation before complex clauses slowed the pace. Article use was inconsistent in the written responses, though it never obscured the meaning.
