The AALC ROUNDTABLE ONLINE is a regular AALC signature webinar bringing thought leaders in the language service industry in Australia and New Zealand together to discuss pertinent industry developments and issues. Discussions will be based on pertinent areas within this topic, which will be familiar to all in the industry:

This roundtable will discuss the key issues of translator selection and vendor management. Topics for discussion can include:

Translator Selection

• Proprietary or customised vendor selection tools, including internally designed tests, reviewing capacity (in-house or outsourced?)
• Universal recruitment tools, including background and reference checks, professional websites etc.

Vendor Management

• How important is it to stay engaged with your vendors and employees (translators and interpreters)? What vendor management tools are most commonly used by LSPs to maintain good working relationships with translators?
