Switch the Language Toggle Before You Count a Careers Page

Some careers sites filter roles by language, and the default view can hide most of them. On November 5, 2026, the English view of EVE Power Hungary's careers page listed 3 jobs. The Hungarian view of the same page listed 18. The English view showed one city. The Hungarian view showed two counties and a second site in Szirmabesenyő. A recruiter who counted the English page would have reported one sixth of the board.

What each view showed

The English view showed three roles, all in Debrecen: Indirect Procurement Manager, AP Accountant, and Procurement Supervisor. Its category counts were Finance / Accounting (1) and Delivery / Procurement / Logistics (2). Its location filter listed Hajdú-Bihar (3).

The Hungarian view, reached with the HU button at the same address plus "?lang=hu," showed 18 results. The location filter listed Hajdú-Bihar (13) and Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén (2). Categories included production, engineering, HR, EHS, and logistics. Rows included a facility technician, a pressure equipment operator, an incoming quality inspector, a substation operator, a payroll and social security specialist, a training and development supervisor, a warehouse supervisor in Szirmabesenyő, and a customer quality engineer in Szirmabesenyő.

Why this happens

The Hungarian view includes the three English-view roles, so it is a superset. We could not determine the rule that decides what the English view shows. It is not simply the language of the text: Warehouse Supervisor and Project Management Engineer have English descriptions and appear only in the Hungarian view. Whatever the rule, the default view for an English-speaking visitor undercounts the employer.

A few Hungarian-view rows carry an "ANGOL" tag, meaning English is a stated requirement. Those roles are written in Hungarian but ask for English. You will not find them in the English view.

The playbook

1. Open every language option the site offers before you count.
2. Record the total for each view, with the access date.
3. Use the largest view as the board count, and name it.
4. Note any location that appears only in one view.
5. Tag rows where the posting language and the required language differ.

What changes when you count correctly

With 3 rows, EVE Power Hungary looks like a procurement and finance team adding a few hires. With 18, it looks like a plant building out operations: facility technicians, a boiler operator, a substation operator, incoming and in-process quality inspectors, EHS, payroll, and training. One page description refers to a battery cell plant being built in Debrecen. That is a different story for a client conversation, and only the Hungarian view tells it.

The function mix also changes your pitch. Procurement is still the largest white-collar cluster, with four rows: MRO procurement coordinator, strategic buyer, indirect procurement manager, and procurement supervisor. Quality has three rows if you count the customer quality engineer. Those clusters are where a recruiter can offer a shortlist. Most technician rows will be filled locally without agencies.

How to check a site quickly

Look for a language switch in the header or footer. Try adding a language parameter to the address, such as "?lang=hu" or "?lang=en." Compare the result counts and the location filter, not just the first screen of titles. If the site has no visible switch, check whether the browser's language setting changes what loads. Write down which method you used.

Second locations hide the same way

Szirmabesenyő is in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, a different county from Debrecen. It appears only in the Hungarian view. If your client asks where this employer is hiring, "Debrecen" is incomplete. Two of the 18 rows are at the second location. Ask the employer whether that site is a warehouse, a customer site, or a separate plant before you describe it. We could not confirm that from the page.

Who this matters for

If you place bilingual procurement or finance staff for international manufacturers, the English view may be enough for your desk. It still is not the full board. If you track an employer's total hiring activity, or pitch a client on coverage of a new plant, you need the full count. If you only work English-language markets, apply the same check to Spanish or French toggles on US and Canadian sites.

Filing rule

Store the view language next to every count. "EVE Power Hungary, 18 roles, HU view, November 5" is a fact. "EVE Power Hungary, 3 roles" without the view is a mistake waiting to be repeated. Store each role's posting language and any stated language requirement as separate fields.

When you share a count with a client or colleague, send the view language with it. A colleague who opens the English page later will see 3 and assume your 18 was wrong. Recheck both views together. A role can move from one view to the other if it is reposted in a different language.
