Written hiring assessments in Marathi
Your strongest field-sales rep in Pune or warehouse supervisor in Bhiwandi may never have needed polished English — and an English-only test screens them out before you ever see their thinking. Kaairo runs case studies, situational judgement tests and MCQs fully in Marathi, and hands your team the scores in English.

How Marathi assessments work on Kaairo
Devanagari or Roman — the candidate decides
When a candidate starts, they pick native Devanagari script or Roman Marathi — the language written in English letters, the way many people already type on their phones. And because Marathi shares Devanagari with Hindi, candidates who read Hindi comfortably are at home from the first screen.
You author in English; the AI does the rest
Build your assessment in English exactly as you do today. Kaairo's AI translation produces the Marathi version — native script and Roman — in the register you choose, formal or conversational. No translation vendors, no bilingual reviewers, no second authoring pass.
Results come back in English
Candidates answer in Marathi; your hiring team reads English. Every response gets a 0-100 competency-based score with a per-competency rationale, and reports arrive in English — so a hiring manager in Mumbai who doesn't read Devanagari shortlists with full confidence.
Mixed answers score fairly
Candidates can answer in Marathi, in English, or switch between the two mid-sentence — the way people actually talk on a shop floor in Nashik. The mix never costs a candidate marks.
Assess the ability the job actually uses
Field sales, retail, logistics and BFSI frontline work across Maharashtra runs in Marathi. Testing it in English measures the wrong thing.
Stop filtering out your best hires
An English-only test quietly rejects candidates who would outperform in a role done entirely in Marathi. Assessing in the working language widens your funnel to the people the job was written for.
Built for Maharashtra volume hiring
Hiring fifty field reps across Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur and Nashik? Every candidate gets the same scenarios, the same rubric and the same scoring — in the language they'll use with customers on day one.
Real signal on frontline judgement
A situational judgement test about a difficult customer lands differently when the candidate reads it the way the conversation would actually happen. You see how they'd handle the counter, not how they parse English.
The whole experience is in Marathi
Not just the questions — instructions, navigation and the candidate interface render in Marathi too, so nobody stalls on a consent screen or a submit button in a language they weren't hired for.
Zero overhead for your team
No translators to brief, no bilingual panel to schedule, no separate Marathi question bank to maintain. One English source of truth; scores, rationales and reports come back in English.
Same rigour, any language
Marathi assessments use the same 0-100 competency scoring and per-competency rationale as English ones, and AI proctoring is available — so results are comparable across your whole pipeline.
From English draft to Marathi shortlist
Enabling Marathi is a setting on the assessment, not a project.
Author the assessment in English
Create your case study, SJT or MCQ battery in English — a shift-handover SJT for a Pune warehouse team is authored like any other assessment, competencies and rubrics included.
Enable Marathi and pick a register
Turn on Marathi for the assessment. Kaairo's AI translation generates the Devanagari and Roman versions in the register you choose — formal for BFSI frontline, conversational for the warehouse floor.
Candidates answer in Marathi; you shortlist in English
Candidates choose their script and take the test in Marathi. Scores, per-competency rationales and reports land in English, ready to rank the whole shift's applicants.
Decisions you can stand behind
A language option shouldn't mean a different standard.
Competency scores with reasons
Every candidate gets a 0-100 score per competency with a written rationale — the same transparent rubric whether they answered in Marathi, English or both.
No penalty for code-switching
Scoring is explicitly instructed to judge the thinking, not the language mix. A sharp answer in Roman Marathi with English loan words scores like a sharp answer.
Proctoring works here too
AI proctoring is available on Marathi assessments, so integrity checks don't weaken when you widen the language funnel.
Straightforward pricing
Published INR pricing with self-serve signup, and Marathi written assessments are available to every organisation — no special tier, no add-on to negotiate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which written tests can run in Marathi?
Case Studies, SJTs and MCQs — every written format Kaairo has — run fully in Marathi, on any plan. There is no language surcharge and no tier gate.
Do candidates have to read Devanagari?
No. Each candidate opens the assessment and picks either Devanagari or Roman Marathi — the language spelt in English letters, phone-keyboard style. And since Marathi shares Devanagari with Hindi, candidates who grew up reading Hindi settle into the native-script option quickly.
Does mixing Marathi and English in one answer lose marks?
It doesn't. A candidate can write the plan in Marathi and keep 'inventory' and 'cut-off time' in English — the blend carries no penalty at all.
Is there a Marathi voice interview yet?
Not yet — AI voice interviews run in English and Hindi today, and Marathi voice is on the roadmap. The written formats on this page are all live in Marathi now, so you don't have to wait to test in the working language.
What does enabling Marathi involve?
A setting, not a project. Author in English as usual, switch Marathi on for that assessment, choose formal or conversational, and the AI translation produces both scripts. There's no separate Marathi authoring step.
Can an English-only panel review Marathi candidates?
Yes — that's the default. Scores, per-competency rationales and candidate reports are English throughout, so your reviewers' workflow doesn't change at all.
How many languages does this extend to?
Eight Indian languages in total; besides Marathi that's Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati and Bengali. Our multilingual assessments page has the full run-down.
Can we use Marathi assessments on the team we already have?
Yes. Hiring and L&D share the platform, so the same warehouse-shift SJT that screens applicants in Pune can benchmark the crew already on the floor.
