Hexaware Technologies

Hexaware runs a compact process for freshers and a role-specific one for laterals. Campus drives finish within a few weeks; lateral hiring usually takes two to four weeks.

1. Application or campus registration

Freshers register through college placement cells or Hexaware's off-campus drives; laterals apply on the careers site, via referrals or a job portal such as Jobaaj. Fresher eligibility typically asks for a minimum percentage across 10th, 12th and graduation with no active backlogs.

2. Online assessment

A proctored online test with aptitude, logical reasoning, verbal ability and one or two coding problems, sometimes with a short domain section for testing or cloud tracks. Sectional cut-offs apply.

3. Communication assessment

Many drives include an automated spoken and written English assessment, since most roles involve client interaction. It is short but treated as a filter.

4. Technical interview

A 30 to 45 minute interview with a senior engineer or project lead on programming fundamentals, your projects and role-specific topics such as SQL, testing, cloud or a specific stack. Laterals may have two technical rounds including a client-facing one.

5. HR interview

HR discusses your career goals, flexibility on location and shifts, compensation and the service agreement that applies to fresher hires.

6. Offer and onboarding

Selected candidates receive an offer letter, complete document and background verification, and join a training programme before project allocation.

The rounds below describe fresher and junior hiring. Experienced candidates skip the assessments and face two technical rounds plus a managerial and HR round.

Round 1: Online aptitude and coding test

Roughly 90 minutes covering quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, verbal ability and coding. The coding section has one or two problems in a language of your choice.

• Time and work, percentages, permutations and data interpretation
• Series, puzzles, blood relations and syllogisms
• String manipulation, arrays and simple algorithm problems

Round 2: Communication assessment

An automated 15 to 20 minute test of spoken English, listening and short written responses.

• Reading passages aloud and repeating sentences
• Answering a short open-ended question clearly
• Grammar and email-style written responses

Round 3: Technical interview

A 30 to 45 minute video or in-person interview with a project lead. Expect a mix of fundamentals, a coding exercise and project discussion.

• OOP concepts with examples in Java, Python or C#
• SQL joins, indexes and writing a query on the spot
• Your final-year project: architecture, your contribution, challenges
• Basics of software testing, REST APIs or cloud depending on the track

Round 4: HR interview

A 15 to 20 minute conversation on fit, flexibility and paperwork.

• Why Hexaware and where you see yourself in three years
• Willingness to relocate to Chennai, Pune or Navi Mumbai and to work in shifts
• Understanding of the training period and service agreement
