Ofbusiness

1. Application

Candidates apply through the OfBusiness careers page, campus placement drives, job portals or employee referrals, depending on the role and experience level.

2. Resume screening

Recruiters shortlist profiles based on relevant experience in fintech, lending, supply chain or SME-facing sales, along with academic background for freshers.

3. Online assessment

Technology roles typically get a coding and problem-solving test, while business, credit and operations roles may face a quantitative aptitude or case-style assessment on lending and procurement scenarios.

4. Technical or functional interview

A round with a team lead covering coding and system design for engineering candidates, or credit assessment, SME financing concepts and process thinking for business and risk roles.

5. Hiring manager round

Discussion on past projects, ownership shown in previous roles, and how the candidate would handle SME clients with varying levels of documentation and digital readiness.

6. HR discussion and offer

HR discusses compensation, role expectations and joining timeline before rolling out the offer, typically followed by document verification.

OfBusiness runs a lean, business-outcome-focused process, reflecting its position as a fast-growing SME fintech that needs people who can move quickly with limited hand-holding.

Round 1: Online assessment

Conducted remotely, this covers coding and logical reasoning for technology roles, or quantitative aptitude and basic finance concepts for business and credit roles, screening for problem-solving speed and accuracy.

• Arrays, loops and basic data structures
• Interest, margin and working-capital calculations
• Reading comprehension on SME lending scenarios
• Data interpretation from sample financial statements

Round 2: Technical or domain interview

An engineer or domain specialist evaluates depth in coding and system design for tech candidates, or credit appraisal, procurement cycles and risk assessment for business candidates.

• Designing a simple loan-approval workflow
• Evaluating an SME's creditworthiness from limited data
• SQL queries on transaction or inventory data
• Handling a delayed-payment scenario with a supplier

Round 3: Hiring manager round

Focuses on ownership, resilience and how the candidate has handled ambiguous, fast-changing situations, since OfBusiness teams operate with significant autonomy.

• Describe a time you solved a client problem with limited resources
• How you would prioritise multiple SME accounts at once

Round 4: HR and final round

The closing conversation covers compensation, benefits, location and joining date, along with a final check on cultural fit for a target-driven, fast-paced environment.
