the Atrado culture
You, the freelance translator and Atrado, the translation agency: we share the same mission.
Top-quality translations
"Only the best is good enough"
Everything depends on a high-quality translation. Which is our and your client’s basic requirement. To achieve this, they will call on us, every day. And then we call on you.
Personal approach, with a smile
"Because happy means better"
Every morning our Service Managers leap out of bed with one thing on their mind - to make people happy. Our clients, naturally, but also you, our translator.
With fun jobs, friendly contact, a helping hand, should you encounter problems with a translation or document. You’re never left to solve the problem on your own. We're in it together.
Correct (and not just the last dot and comma)
"An agreement once made, must be kept"
Not only does the translation need to be correct down to the last dot and comma.
It also applies to our collaboration. Which means: an agreement once made, must be kept, deadlines must be met (or call us, we don’t bite), we have a responsibility towards you, and last but not least correct and prompt payment for your effort.the Atrado recruiters

Follow these 5 steps to increase your chances.
1. Introduce yourself
Who are you and what are you good at?
In short: what is your native language? From which (source) languages do you translate? In which sectors are you most interested? Which type of texts do you prefer to translate?
And what relevant work experience do you have, including references.
Do you have a CV? Always happy to receive one!
2. Take the test
Testing the water.
Take a translation test.
Not of a 'live' project, but from a text to demonstrate your strengths. We have limited the test to no more than 300 words. We want it short and sweet. Do you accept the challenge?
3. Find the perfect match
Where does the 'sweet spot' of our collaboration lie?
What are your priorities after becoming part of the Atrado Dream Team? What is important to you? What is important to Atrado? We give and take ... until we exchange vows.

Without any mistakes or small print.
Perhaps the most boring part? Yet vital. Because good agreements make for good friends.
We will confirm everything in writing and add you to the appropriate section of our freelance Atrado Dream Team database.
5. Off to a flying start
The first jobs ...
Yes, these are always the most exciting ones. And we want to keep it that way. With great texts and documents: some a little more challenging, others a little more urgent.
But remember: we're in it together. We are on the same mission.
