Identifying talents and matching people & functions is essential to the success of every company.

Ben Greeven (CEO Thalento®): “We already had an extensive portfolio of cognitive, ability & skills tests but we were missing language tests in our offering. It was clear from the beginning that ElaN Languages would the ideal partner for us; our experience with languages as a core Thalento competence and our extensive market experience with language providers only confirmed that.
Besides the fact that ElaN Languages has acquired the European EN 15038 quality standard for translation services, it also has an extensive global network of more than 2.000 experienced translators worldwide.
As a result, ElaN Languages is perfectly placed to support our Thalento® partners and distributors around the world, which is essential for us.”
