How to post a job in Spanish
Posting jobs in Spanish is a great way to reach more applicants — especially in industries where many candidates prefer to apply in their native language. Team Engine makes it easy to post and manage jobs in Spanish while keeping your hiring workflow consistent across all roles.
🧩 How to Create a Spanish Job Post
- Go to the Jobs tab and click Add New Job.
- Fill in the Job Title in Spanish (for example, “Conductor de Camión CDL” instead of “CDL Driver”).
In the Application Language field, select Spanish.
This ensures that the entire applicant experience — from the application form to automated messages — will appear in Spanish.
- Write your Job Description in Spanish. This is what applicants see when viewing your job details.
Add your Summary and Tagline in Spanish. These are used for social media advertising and job board previews.
Complete the Experience and Licenses/Certifications sections in Spanish.
- Example: “2 años de experiencia en carpintería” or “Licencia CDL Clase A.”
- Add any Pre-Hire Steps (like background checks or drug tests) in Spanish so applicants understand next steps.
- Click Save — your job will now be posted in Spanish and distributed across bilingual-friendly job boards.
🌐 Tips for Posting Spanish Jobs
Tip |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Use natural Spanish | Avoid literal translations; write in clear, conversational Spanish so applicants feel confident applying. |
| Keep titles simple | Shorter, direct titles perform better on job boards (e.g., Técnico de Mantenimiento instead of Buscamos Técnico de Mantenimiento con Experiencia). |
| Include compensation | Spanish-speaking applicants are more likely to apply when pay is visible and clear. |
| Review automatic messages | Even if the job is in Spanish, some templates (like interview reminders) may default to English — update these (add translations) to Spanish for consistency. |
| Use internal identifiers | Add identifiers like “Spanish version” or “Bilingual – Spanish” to organize your job list if you have English and Spanish versions of the same role. |
💬 Communicating with Spanish-Speaking Applicants
Team Engine’s messaging tools make it simple to communicate with bilingual applicants:
- You can send and receive messages in Spanish directly through the platform.
- If needed, use Team Engine’s built-in message translation tool to translate messages between English and Spanish without leaving the app.
- Shared messages and replies are visible to your entire hiring team — so bilingual and English-speaking team members can collaborate easily.
💡 Pro Tip: Always personalize messages in the applicant’s preferred language to improve response rates and candidate experience.
