Towards the end of the HR round come the practical questions: 'Are you willing to relocate?', 'Can you work night shifts?', 'Are you okay with the service bond?', 'What do you know about our company?'. They test your commitment, flexibility and honesty. The key is to be genuinely honest while showing as much flexibility as you truthfully can.
Honest, but flexible
For logistics questions, employers want commitment without surprises later. If you're flexible, say so clearly and positively. If you have a real constraint, be honest now rather than agreeing and backing out later — but frame any constraint constructively, showing willingness to find a workable arrangement.
The common logistics questions
| Question | What they want to hear |
|---|---|
| Willing to relocate? | openness, ideally a clear yes |
| Okay with night/rotational shifts? | honest willingness; flag genuine limits early |
| Comfortable with the bond/agreement? | you understand and accept the terms |
| Notice period / availability? | a clear, honest timeline |
| What do you know about us? | evidence you researched the company |
⚡ The edge
- Be honest about constraints up front. Agreeing to relocate or do night shifts when you can't, just to get the offer, leads to a worse outcome later — a withdrawn offer or an early, messy exit.
- 'What do you know about our company?' is a pure research check. Know the basics: what they do, their main products/services or domain, and ideally one recent or distinctive fact.
Worked example
How do you answer 'are you willing to relocate / work night shifts?'
- If you genuinely are, say so clearly and positively — 'Yes, I'm open to relocating for the right opportunity.'
- If you have a real constraint, be honest but constructive — explain it briefly and express willingness to find a workable solution.
- Never fake a yes you can't keep; honesty now protects you (and the offer) later.
Answer: Say a clear yes if you can; if not, be honest and constructive — never agree to something you can't sustain.
Worked example
How do you answer 'what do you know about our company?'
- Show you researched: state what the company does, its domain, and its scale or reputation.
- Add something specific — a key product/service, a value, a recent development, or its work culture.
- Connect it briefly to why that appeals to you — turning a fact-check into a fit statement.
Answer: State what they do plus one specific, researched detail, then connect it to why it appeals to you.
⚠ Watch out
- Don't fake flexibility (relocation, shifts, bond) you can't actually honour — it backfires.
- Don't answer 'what do you know about us?' with 'nothing' or a vague guess — always research first.
- Don't be needlessly rigid either; show as much genuine flexibility as you truthfully can.
