🧠 Suggestions to Make It Effective

• Dual-language instructions (English + Myanmar) to ensure clarity.

• Include real-world business scenarios from your company (e.g., Odoo-related tasks, customer communication).

• Use grading rubrics for writing tasks (clarity, grammar, tone, relevance).

• Consider adding audio prompts later for listening comprehension.



Listening and speaking are essential components of English proficiency, especially for roles involving customer interaction, presentations, or team collaboration. While Odoo 18 Enterprise doesn’t natively support audio recording or speech recognition, you can still integrate these components effectively into your recruitment workflow. Here's how:



🎧 Listening Test Options

✅ Option 1: Use External Tools + Odoo Integration

• Use platforms like Google Forms, Typeform, or ClassMarker to host audio-based questions.

• Embed audio clips (e.g., customer calls, business meetings) and ask comprehension questions.

• Link the test in Odoo’s Survey module or Recruitment stage using a URL.

✅ Option 2: Upload Audio in Odoo eLearning

• Upload MP3 files or embed YouTube videos in eLearning lessons.

• Follow up with MCQs or short answers based on the audio content.



🗣️ Speaking Test Options

✅ Option 1: Manual Recording Submission

• Ask candidates to record answers to prompts (e.g., “Introduce yourself,” “Explain how you’d handle a customer complaint”).

• Use free tools like Vocaroo, SpeakPipe, or Google Drive for uploads.

• Candidates submit the link or file via Odoo’s Survey or Recruitment form.

✅ Option 2: Live Interview Stage

• After passing reading/writing/listening, schedule a live video interview.

• Use a structured rubric to assess fluency, pronunciation, grammar, and business vocabulary.



🧩 Suggested Workflow in Odoo

1. Stage 1: Written Test (Survey Module)

• Reading, writing, business English.

2. Stage 2: Listening Test (External link or eLearning audio)
