Round 1 - HR 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. What you know about Account Outsourcing?

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - There were two rounds of interviews, both delayed & rescheduled countless times.

The first round took nearly 2 weeks with multiple reschedules (on a daily basis) from their end. The first round was HR round with some basic industry and Job profile relevant question; though, the strange thing was that the interview was supposed to happen on MS Teams, which was rescheduled on Phone Call with the reason being that the MS Team was corrupted on their end.

The second & final round was with their Managers, again it was rescheduled twice.
Anyways, the Job Description / Profile was of Business Development Manager, and I possess 15+ years of relevant experience on the same. However, I was been asked by their Manager to lower my profile expectations, and was asked to work as a Telemarketer / Cold Calling - stating that in their org., the profile of BDM was to make calls only, where they will provide me with a data set of 500 calls each week and I've to make calls on them. This revelation took me by surprise as the original shared JD was something different entirely (more relevant to my profile), and on call they did a 360 turn asking me to play a role of Fresher / Jr. BDE / Telemarketer. I understand and agree that cold calling could be a part of BDM Profile, but solely Cold Calling is never a part of the BDM profile, especially in Service / Outsourcing Industry.

Additionally, despite me being on 300Mbps Fiber connection and ensuring that no bandwith was utilised apart from the final interview round, as well as despite changing multiple headset and finally using my laptop speaker, and on top of that despite getting on MS Team's call on almost weekly basis (as part of my existing job profile back then); his manager complaint stating that my internet connection is not proper and thus he was unable to listen me correctly, adding that I'm using Mobile Data. In a nutshell, instead of fixing things on their end, they blame the candidate.

Considering the overall bad experience, false initial commitment (i.e., JD stating different and different approach of JD on interview), as well as other bizzare incidents; I strongly suggest to avoid approaching Accsource. Imagine if the interview experience was such bad, how the actual working condition could be.

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Title: Disappointing Interview Experience – Misleading Offers

Review: My experience with this organization was extremely disappointing. The interview process was misleading, where they initially offered a higher package but later reduced it significantly. This has happened to me twice with them, leading to a complete waste of time and a demotivating experience. I would not recommend this company to serious job seekers.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Initially, the advertised vacancy was for both senior process associate and process associate positions, however on the day of the walk-in, they clarified that the position was only for a Process associate. The entire selection process took place in the cafeteria, with no designated rooms for HR or Managerial rounds, and interviews were conducted in front of all the candidates. The test seemed to focus more on procedural knowledge rather than its value. The HR round was merely to confirm whether you were genuinely seeking a job and to provide information about the company.

When the manager arrived at 4 clocks, they conducted interviews in the same place reviewed resumes, and emphasized that, as an ISO-certified company, they don't entertain candidates who are only interested in getting an offer letter. They asked for salary slips and explained that the salary structure includes a fixed component (basic salary plus HRA), with the rest considered as allowances. They offered a minimal hike of 1,000 to 2000 INR on your fixed salary. If you agreed, they would connect you with HR for documentation. However, 99% of experienced candidates declined the offer because no one wanted to reduce their value in terms of CTC.

I had a terrible interview experience with this unprofessional and disrespectful company. I strongly advise against attending an interview there as it will likely be a negative experience. Only consider it as a last resort if you are facing extreme rejection and poor conditions. Moreover, they don't offer more than a 3% hike in future appraisals.
