I've been working as a freelance interpreter for almost year. I enjoy the experience, and I recommend Word360 as an employer. For convenience, I'll list my comments in phrases in bullet points: Interpreting team:1. very professional and highly efficient (e.g. phone calls often answered within 10 seconds in my experience)2. friendly and very helpful (e.g. always happy to double-check/clarify booking details, helped me to find cover for a number of upcoming bookings when my availability changed after I accepted offer for a fulltime job, negotiated booking times between me and the client so that the needs for both parties are fulfilled)3. great communication skills (e.g. clear and timely responses, used a range of contact methods to ensure messages were confirmed/passed on efficiently)4. resolve issues quickly, look after interpreters (e.g. ready to offer support after sensitive bookings, listened carefully and helped me pass on feedback about a client's inappropriately action)5. respect professional boundary and ensure interpreters' personal details are not passed on to clients without permissionProcesses:1. policies and processes are established and confirmed in writing (i.e. no grey area, no ambiguity), clear (very clear about rules, professional standards and expectations) and easy to check (file available in print and electronically)2. using software to manage bookings, timesheet processes and availability update; software is user friendly, convenient and very efficient3. payments were *always* on time; payment related queries were dealt with very quickly4. high quality induction training sessions for all interpreters, including PPT-aided introductory talk, scenario examples, group discussions, extensive Q&A, software demonstration, and a test at the end of session__________I've read some negative comments about the rate of pay. Personally I think some of the comments are a bit extreme, and I think it makes sense to take the following points into consideration. These advantages certainly makes me feel the rate of pay is acceptable to me as a freelancer working on an ad hoc basis and unable to spend too much time on marketing and the admin side of things. 1. With the platform set up and managed by the company, it costs a Word360 interpreter very little time to source bookings, negotiate rules (e.g. cancellation policy) and prices, chase payments and sort out other admin processes. As all of these admin tasks do take much time and efforts to sort out, when the time and efforts are taken into consideration, an independent interpreter could end up earning not too much more than the Word360 rate of pay. 2. payment is *guaranteed* as long as you adhere to the company rules (i.e. no stress dealing with payment issues from uncooperative clients; no need to chase payment)3. a reliable source of booking is, again, guaranteed (i.e. no need to marketing yourself, source clients and obtain a long-term contract yourself), and you can always reject bookings that are inconvenient without worrying that you will lose clients as a consequence. If your service is high in quality and you are reliable, you will always receive quite a lot of booking invitation -- it is certainly so in my experience. More...

Word360 has contaminated the interpreting industry in Birmingham. They disgraced the interpreting rates from 18 pounds to 7 quid an hour. I heard that they will soon start a phenomenal '1Pound' interpreting services. More...
