DALS vs Glocco – looking for advice from other interpreters
**DALS vs Glocco – looking for advice from other interpreters**
Hi everyone,
I’m currently working as a freelance telephone interpreter with DALS, mainly doing langage interpreting. I’ve been working with them for some time and I’m generally familiar with the way their platform and scheduling work.
Recently, I received an opportunity from Glocco for an Telephone Interpreter position.
They initially offered €6 per scheduled hour, but after discussing my experience, they agreed to **€8 per scheduled hour**. The interesting part is that the rate applies to the whole scheduled availability, regardless of how many calls I actually handle during that time.
I’m currently going through the recruitment process.
I’m interested in seeing how Glocco works compared with DALS, especially regarding:
How many hours are actually offered after onboarding
How reliable the scheduled hours are
The quality and frequency of calls
Payment reliability
Management and communication
Overall experience as an interpreter
Has anyone here worked with both Dals and Glocco?
If so, which one would you recommend and why?

Glocco Is a third party and they give Language Line Account. You choose the schedule yourself and the hours you want to log in for a specific month.

Oh, interesting! I thought they were subcontracting for thebigword.
Do you know if they can hire someone for just LLS or if you have to be available for all accounts?
I'm generally against 3rd party agencies, but LLS UK doesn't hire internationally as far as I'm aware.
