If you’re a professional services firm that employs teams across geographies, you boast a unique skill set. With a varied range of expertise, languages and cultural backgrounds, your firm has a distinct competitive edge that can set your firm apart as you bid for new business.
However, as opportunities arise for regional or global projects, you may struggle to take advantage of this. Identifying your best personnel from across international offices, and then compiling their resumes (CVs) can be a logistical nightmare. Likewise, searching for, and presenting global case studies can prove to be tricky too.
One common challenge is that each local market may use their own system for resumes and projects. This siloed approach means gaining visibility into your global expertise can be impossible. Solving this is one of Flowcase’s key competencies - our platform’s database serves to democratize this information, making it easy to find resumes and case studies, tailor them for the proposal and export them into different formats.
However, another challenge arises when employee and project data is stored in different languages. When this is the case, it can be incredibly difficult to search for the right candidate or case study. And, even if you are able to overcome this barrier, you still need to translate the resume or project content into your required language, or languages.
While this process is full of pain-points, it’s incredibly important to find a solution if you want to show off your firm’s full set of capabilities. After all, you could be leaving a lot of money on the table because you’re missing out on those niche employee skill sets that could make or break a proposal.
Introducing AI Translations
To solve these challenges, we’re excited to introduce AI Translations. This new feature leverages advanced language AI to streamline resume management and proposal compilation across languages.
With AI Translations, your entire Flowcase database becomes instantly searchable and accessible across virtually any language. Your company-validated skills, experiences, certifications, courses, and more can be auto-translated and these criteria can then be searched for natively. This enables bid teams to easily uncover the best people and projects for the proposal without any language barriers.
AI Translations can also be used to instantly translate whole resumes and case study sections. From personal statements and project roles for resumes, to customer descriptions and project types for case studies, all content can be automatically translated into a range of languages. The bid team can then go and take these translated sections, tailor them to more succinctly meet the client’s requirements, and export them into polished documents.
How AI Translations Work
Let’s say your firm just landed an RFP, and while the client is based in the US, they are requiring 5 Spanish speaking Project Managers to be a part of the team. Your local team can’t fulfill this requirement, but with Flowcase you’re able to search for Project Managers across your entire firm. Since you’ve already translated ‘Project Manager’ into multiple languages, you’re able to retrieve results from across your international offices. In seconds, you’re able to quickly source 5 PMs from your South American office that fit the bill.
Next, you need to translate their resumes into English. With AI Translations you can do this in just a few clicks, and then easily tailor the content to meet the project needs. Using Flowcase’s ‘Templates’ feature, the translated resume can be pushed into a custom branded template, or into the bid-specific format, ready for submission.
Without AI Translations, this process would either be impossible or incredibly long-winded. With it, everything is streamlined and the bid can be submitted in hours instead of days or weeks.
