Localization Market Growth Sparks New Online Recruitment Service

WorldLingo and Haymarket Consulting cooperate to match qualified localization professionals to the right job

WorldLingo, a leading provider of integrated online translation solutions, has launched a professional recruitment program to address demand for localization professionals. Haymarket Consulting, the professional IT Recruitment Consultancy, is working with WorldLingo to support the new service. Both companies have combined their expertise and market knowledge to make it easy to match localization professionals to jobs in the growing localization industry. Research by Allied Business Intelligence, a technology research think tank, suggests that website localization revenues will experience Compound Average Annual Growth of 36 per cent, reaching US$3.1 billion in 2007.

WorldLingo's Professional Recruitment Program enhances employment searches for both applicants and employers. Whether the need is on a large or a small scale, contract or permanent, the service makes it simple and cost effective to match talented individuals to the right localization job opportunities.

Phil Scanlan, WorldLingo's Chairman says, "It can be difficult to find the right person to work on localization projects. Our Professional Recruitment Program helps to take the pain out of the search and recruitment process. As a leading provider of integrated translation solutions, we have extensive knowledge and many years of experience within the localization industry. We make sure that the candidates we put forward are qualified and the best fit for the position available. In addition, our relationship with Haymarket Consulting means that we have access to a broad range of localization professionals who have all gone through a rigorous selection process."

Jamie Hall, senior consultant and localization and translation specialist at Haymarket Consulting said, "Many localization professionals are working outside the localization industry and have found that their language and translation skills are under-utilized. Recently, we have witnessed a significant increase in the demand for fully qualified localization specialists. Consequently there has never been a better time for qualified professionals to break into an industry where their skills are fully appreciated. At the same time, we help the localization industry to find the right person quickly. Our alliance with WorldLingo provides us with a wider source of qualified candidates and opportunities to work with new clients in the localization industry. We are looking forward to a long and productive working relationship."
