Onza We Care accelerated language readiness for international professionals relocating to Germany, reducing time-to-deployment and improving workplace integration.
Onza We Care is a recruitment agency that places international professionals — primarily healthcare workers — into positions across Germany. Each candidate must reach a minimum German language level before deployment, a process that traditionally took months and had inconsistent results.
The agency's existing language training focused on grammar and written comprehension, leaving candidates unprepared for real workplace communication. Many passed their language exams but struggled in their first weeks on the job, leading to frustration for both candidates and employers.
Under Director Adelino De Souza's leadership, Onza We Care integrated Beyond Words into its pre-deployment language program. Candidates practiced realistic German workplace scenarios — patient interactions, team handovers, administrative procedures — alongside their existing coursework.
The AI speech analysis provided targeted feedback on German pronunciation challenges, while the analytics dashboard gave the agency visibility into each candidate's speaking readiness.
The results were transformative. Candidates achieved a full level of language improvement after just 20 hours on the platform, and 45% more candidates passed their certification compared to the previous year.
Crucially, employers reported that candidates arriving through the Beyond Words-enhanced program were noticeably more confident and effective communicators from day one.
