Don't just take our word for it.
Hear our English-speaking talent.

At OLYMP BPO, English communication is a core part of our recruitment process for positions that require regular contact with international customers and businesses.

When we publish a job opening, we first review applications and CVs. Shortlisted candidates then receive a short English text to read and record. This voice recording is one of the steps we use to evaluate a candidate's English communication before moving forward with the interview.

Rather than simply telling potential clients that we have English-speaking talent, we want to give you the opportunity to hear it for yourself.

How this works

This is part of our hiring and onboarding process. Once we publish a job post and review the candidates' CVs, we send shortlisted applicants a short text to read and record. It allows us to evaluate their English before moving forward with the interview process.

The assessments

Listen to our English assessment samples

Each candidate was asked to read the same (or a similar) short text and submit a voice recording. The purpose is to evaluate pronunciation, clarity, fluency, comprehension, communication style, and confidence before deciding whether to move the candidate to the next stage.

Why we test first

Why we test English before the interview

For customer support, call center, sales, technical support, and other international positions, English communication is a core part of the job.

A candidate may have an impressive CV, but written qualifications don't always show how effectively someone communicates verbally. A voice assessment lets our team evaluate practical communication skills before investing time in interviews and onboarding so we identify candidates with the qualities required for international business environments.

What we evaluate

Listening & comprehension

Part of a broader recruitment process where communication and comprehension are evaluated together.

Professional communication

English-speaking call center professionals

The voice assessment provides an early opportunity to evaluate verbal communication.

Location

English-speaking talent in Kosovo

Kosovo is an emerging outsourcing and technology destination in Europe, with a young workforce and growing experience working with international businesses.

English is an important foreign language in Kosovo's education system and international business environment a strong foundation for companies looking for English-speaking professionals in a European outsourcing location. OLYMP BPO combines this available talent with a structured recruitment process designed around international client requirements.

Kosovo's language advantage

Albanian has its own distinct linguistic structure and phonetic characteristics, and the modern Albanian alphabet contains 36 letters, including several digraphs. The alphabet itself is not the direct reason for English proficiency but the distinctive phonetic characteristics of Albanian, combined with foreign-language education and international communication, form part of the broader linguistic environment in Kosovo.

For outsourcing companies, the important question is practical: can the professional communicate effectively in English? That is why we use real recruitment assessments and invite you to listen for yourself.
