> You get tons of applications for a job where people struggle with the basics with these

Any specific examples?

I'm a bit surprised because I thought that the German certifications were quite standardized. So I would expect B1 certified people to be able to speak in everyday situations.

well how should I do that? Basically all application data is basically protected data and needs to be deleted pretty fast.

I'm not sure if the certificates are even real in some cases. Some applications also look extremly similar, besides that they have a distance between the two applicatiants of over 200 km.

Not the person you replied to but they mentioned DACH + customers.

As someone from Bavaria... I have several stories of coworkers who speak and understand decent German but put them on a phone or a in a room with people who speak in a thick German dialect and they will understand 10%. Functionally useless.
