Job description

Dutch Language Expert – AI Recruitment Assessment

About the Role

What if your fluency in Dutch — or your deep familiarity with Afrikaans and the broader Dutch language family — could directly shape how AI evaluates professionals across global Dutch-speaking markets? We're looking for Dutch language experts based in South Africa to evaluate and improve AI-generated recruitment assessments, ensuring they are accurate, fair, and culturally grounded.

South Africa has a rich tradition of Dutch-family language expertise, and your linguistic background is a genuine asset here. You'll review AI outputs, audit Dutch-language resumes and candidate profiles, and apply the kind of careful, nuanced judgement that only a skilled human can bring.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No tech background needed — just a strong command of Dutch, sound analytical judgement, and a sharp eye for quality.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Review AI-generated assessments of job candidates against complex job descriptions and requirements within Dutch-speaking markets
  • Perform detailed Match Classifications (Match, Partial Match, No Match) based strictly on source evidence from Dutch resumes and LinkedIn profiles
  • Enforce critical safety guardrails by identifying and blocking "Forbidden to Evaluate" criteria (e.g., protected characteristics, personality traits, and legal non-inference data)
  • Conduct rigorous Explanation Quality Reviews to detect AI hallucinations, unsupported claims, or grammatical flaws in Dutch-language outputs
  • Suggest clear, idiomatic, and contextually appropriate improvements to the AI's written tone and reasoning
  • Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule (approx. 15–20 minutes per in-depth evaluation)

Who You Are

  • Native or near-native fluency in Dutch (strictly required to analyse nuanced professional text and recruitment terminology)
  • Strong written communication skills in Dutch and English (for project guidelines)
  • Naturally detail-oriented with a consistent, methodical approach to evaluation and close reading
  • Comfortable following dense, comprehensive rubrics with numerous complex edge cases
  • Strong ethical awareness regarding legally sensitive hiring categories and workplace diversity
  • Able to articulate clear reasoning behind your quality and matching judgements
  • Self-motivated and reliable when working independently

Nice to Have

  • Experience in Recruitment, HR, Talent Acquisition, or People Operations
  • Background in translation, localization, editing, QA, or data annotation
  • Familiarity with the linguistic relationship between Dutch and Afrikaans
  • Experience with quality assurance, research, or critical analysis

Why Join Us

  • Help shape the future of ethical, accurate, and localised AI in the recruitment space
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
  • Contribute to cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
