Job description

About DigitalTolk

We, DigitaltTolk, are an organisation and company that works to make an impact. Our purpose is to give a voice to those who don’t speak the local language; we arrange translators so that patients can get medical treatments in their new country and communicate with doctors. We arrange translators for crime victims so that they can get justice. Our job is to arrange interpreters through our platform for our customers.

Our end customers are hospitals, courts/lawyers, and municipalities who communicate with refugees and other people in need.

At DigitalTolk, we help thousands of people every day by breaking down language barriers. Our smart, tech-driven platform connects language professionals with customers across Sweden through a seamless matching system — it’s like Uber for interpretation and translation services.

We’ve been recognized with several prestigious awards, including:

• Super Gazelle 2021 – Dagens Industri
• Future Gazelle 2021 – Dagens Industri
• Best in Industry 2018 – Post and Telecom Authority
• Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2022
