Às voltas com a Babel: um estudo dos processos seletivos de uma Empresa Júnior de tradução

Abstract

This junior thesis examines the selective processes and internal regulations of junior enterprise Babel Traduções (Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil), with a focus on its adaptation over time to the expectations and demands of generation Z. The analysis reveals an evolution in the company’s approach, shifting from translation competence-based requirements to an emphasis on managerial competence-oriented technical and professional assessment of its candidates. Furthermore, changes in the benefits offered and/or explicitly outlined to its members point to a growing emphasis on professional development. The findings suggest that as the company increasingly professionalizes as a language service provider, it adapts to the characteristics of generation Z, seeking to meet their expectations and values
