Interview preparation FAQ/ most asked question in BPO 

Domestic Interview rounds

HR & Ops

HR

HR round is usually the first screening round.

In this round, the recruiter tries to understand the candidate’s background, communication skills, attitude, availability, salary expectations, and willingness to work in shifts. HR also checks whether the candidate fits the company culture and basic job requirements. This round is more about personality and clarity than technical knowledge.

Versant 

The Versant round is an automated English assessment used to evaluate a candidate’s speaking clarity, pronunciation, fluency, listening skills, and sentence formation. There are no right or wrong answers in the traditional sense; the system checks how naturally and clearly you speak English. Candidates who listen carefully, speak at a normal pace, use simple sentences, and remain calm usually perform well, as the test is designed to assess everyday communication rather than advanced vocabulary.

Client round (sometime)

The Client round is usually the final or near-final round.

In this round, the client wants to understand the candidate as a person — their communication style, confidence, understanding of the role, and overall suitability for the client’s business. This round is less technical and more about whether the client feels comfortable representing their brand.

International BPO rounds 

HR, ops, versant, VNA

OPS round

The Operations round is conducted by the operations or process team.

Here, the interviewer evaluates whether the candidate understands the process requirements, customer handling approach, process flow, compliance, and quality expectations. This round is important to check if the candidate can actually perform the job role once they join the floor.

VNA

The Voice and Accent (VNA) round checks how clearly and professionally a candidate communicates in English. The focus is on pronunciation, clarity, neutral accent, fluency, listening skills, and tone. This round is especially important for international and voice processes, where clear communication with customers is critical.

Typing test

The Typing test is mainly conducted for non-voice, chat, email, or back-office processes.

It checks the candidate’s typing speed, accuracy, grammar, and basic computer skills. The purpose is to ensure that the candidate can handle multiple chats or emails efficiently without errors while maintaining quality standards.
