At Homeland Language Services, we take immense pride in fostering a culture of growth, support, and professional development. Today, we are thrilled to announce the well-deserved promotions of two outstanding team members, Ludmila Kobluk and Melisa Gaite, to Senior Talent Acquisition Specialists. Their journeys are testaments to dedication, passion, and the supportive environment we strive to maintain.
Ludmila Kobluk’s Inspiring Journey
Ludmila Kobluk’s story with Homeland Language Services began in November 2022 when she applied for an Over-the-Phone Interpreter (OPI) position. Despite initial uncertainties, Ludmila was met with kindness and support from our team, which proved vital as she balanced her new job responsibilities with caring for her young daughter. Ludmila excelled in her role and was soon invited to join our HR team as a Talent Acquisition Specialist. Over the past year, she has demonstrated exceptional dedication and skill, earning her recent promotion to Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist. Ludmila’s main responsibilities include recruiting interpreters globally, liaising between clients and the HR department, and managing various administrative tasks. Her innovative approach and commitment to streamlining our processes have significantly enhanced the onboarding experience for new talent. Reflecting on her journey, Ludmila shares, “I will be forever grateful to HLS for the place they have provided me, for trusting me, and for allowing me to grow and develop professionally. What I like most about the job is being in contact with people worldwide and having coworkers who truly support and help each other.”
“My journey at Homeland began in November 2022 when, without much hope, I sent my resume applying to work as an OPI. From the very first moment, everyone I interacted with treated me wonderfully, with patience, and supported me through every part of the process. This meant a lot to me, as when I applied for the job, my young daughter was only eight months old, and I really needed to work. From January to May 2023, I worked and enjoyed my position as an over-the-phone interpreter until one day I received a call from a member of the HR team telling me they had a vacancy for a talent acquisition specialist and that they were interested in interviewing me. That’s how I became part of the HLS staff/family. It has been more than a year since that moment, and now I can proudly and gratefully hold the title of senior talent acquisition specialist. I will be forever grateful to HLS for the place they have provided me, for trusting me, and for allowing me to grow and develop professionally.
My main task is basically to be an octopus , I am in charge of recruiting interpreters globally, I am the point of contact between our clients and the HR department, and I handle a lot of other administrative tasks. I am always looking for ways to improve and streamline our processes, and I strive to make the onboarding process a pleasant journey for all the new talents joining our team, accompanying and guiding them every step of the way.
What I like most about the job is being in contact with people from all over the world and having coworkers who truly support, help, and are close, even while being in such different parts of the world. I love being able to help people find a job they like where they can grow, learn and enjoy”

Melisa Gaite’s Remarkable Progress
Melisa Gaite joined Homeland Language Services in 2023 as an Over-the-Phone Interpreter. Her passion and dedication quickly caught the attention of the HR team, leading to an opportunity to become a Talent Acquisition Specialist. Melisa’s enthusiasm for recruitment and onboarding new interpreters was evident as she navigated her new role with zeal and proficiency. In addition to her recruitment duties, Melisa’s teaching background made her a perfect fit for the Compliance and Training Specialist role within the Training Department. She found immense joy in guiding new interpreters through their training, watching them evolve and embrace the demands of their profession. Recently, Melisa returned to the Human Resources Department as a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist. Reflecting on her growth, Melisa says, “This company has given me the chance to grow like never before. Nowadays, working with my team feels almost like family. And you know what? There’s nothing more gratifying than working like that.”
“I began my career as an Over the Phone Interpreter with Homeland Language Services in 2023. I never imagined how much I would grow since then. While performing my duties as an interpreter, I was given the opportunity to join the staff as a Talent Acquisition Specialist. The journey of learning new things about recruitment was incredibly enriching. I was passionate about seeing how new people navigated their onboarding process until they finally became part of our family of interpreters.
Later, I was promoted to my other passion: being a trainer. I became part of the Training Department as a Compliance and Training Specialist, training all the new agents who aspired to become interpreters. You know, I’m also a teacher, so you can imagine how much I enjoyed watching the candidates transform into interpreters session by session and understand what this profession requires.
Today, I find myself back in the Human Resources Department, now as a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, with all the experience that this nearly entire year at HLS has given me. This company has given me the chance to grow like never before. And nowadays, working with my team feels almost like family. And you know what? There’s nothing more gratifying than working like that.”
