Where to Find Major Interpreting Companies

By Harry · Reviewed by Harry

Use official company websites to build a shortlist, then assess whether their languages, markets, and working arrangements suit you.

Start with official career pages

Examples to research include LanguageLine, Propio, and thebigword. These are starting points, not a size ranking or a guarantee of openings for your language pair.

Look beyond company size

A regional provider may be a better match for your location or subject knowledge. Professional directories, such as the ATA directory, can help you discover providers. A directory listing is not a job advertisement.

Compare the requirements

Record the company’s markets, interpreting formats, languages, application process, and location requirements. Check whether a role is employment, freelance work, or registration in a supplier pool. Remote work may still have residency requirements.

Apply through the stated route

Follow the instructions on the official website and tailor your introduction. Explain your relevant training, experience, location, and availability without overstating your skills.
