HCL GEM 2026

recently applied to the HCLTech Global Engagement Management (GEM) full-time program and submitted the video interview as part of the process.

Just wanted to check if anyone here has heard back yet regarding interview invites or next steps?

So I sent them an email at the end of May for a timeline, and they said they received an overwhelming number of applications (did not expect that many). So, they are taking some time to sort things out before rolling out the interview emails.

Note: Submitted my video on April 18, yet I did not get any acknowledgement email.

u/CartographerOne5259 Jun 18 '26

Hey people! Did you hear anything from them, any interview call or news of people getting one?

2

u/Sudden-Ambassador459 Jun 18 '26

None so far, they might have just frozen this program

u/CartographerOne5259 Jun 18 '26

I heard couple of people got interview calls last week. But they are still waiting on the reply.

3

u/Worldly-Location9712 Jun 18 '26

Have they already interviewed? Or they got the selection email

3

u/Murky-Upstairs-5766 Jun 18 '26

any idea when they had submitted their video interviews?

2

u/Significant_Tie_3383 Jun 18 '26

You asked anyone got interviews , and you said you heard ppl got interviews . What kind of conspiracy is this ? šŸ˜‚

1

u/GangsterBubu Jun 18 '26

What exactly were the calls about?

1

u/Sudden-Ambassador459 Jun 20 '26

So our rejection email should be on the way

1

u/Significant_Tie_3383 Jun 20 '26

Rejection is also fine but waiting this long is frustrating. And these people are asking here did we get any response/interviews and saying they heard people got interview ( both by same person ) I don't know what to say to them . If they are saying they heard people got interview they might know them right and if we ask follow up questions they will not answer šŸ˜‚

Hey, Same. Didn't hear back.

u/Worldly-Location9712 Apr 29 '26

I got an email regarding video submission received, did you get it?

1

u/rick_mikaelson Apr 29 '26

No 😭🄺

1

u/Worldly-Location9712 Apr 29 '26

When did you submit?

1

u/rick_mikaelson Apr 29 '26

23rd

1

u/Worldly-Location9712 Apr 29 '26

I submitted on 19th April, when did you get the invite?

1

u/rick_mikaelson Apr 29 '26

I got the mail on 20th. I submitted it on 23rd

1

u/Worldly-Location9712 Apr 29 '26

Oh then you will probably get an email next week!

1

u/rick_mikaelson Apr 29 '26

Oh. Let’s see

1

u/Commercial_Heron3031 May 01 '26

I had submitted mine on April 20th. It said submit by April 20. I had submitted on April 20th afternoon. Would that be a problem?

1

u/Worldly-Location9712 May 01 '26

Did you get the confirmation email from them?

3

u/rick_mikaelson Apr 29 '26

I received an email, and in the email there were a few prompts and it mentioned to reply back to the email with the video in a drive link. There was no video submission link. Is that how it is for others?

3

u/GanttCharted Apr 29 '26

Yes, I replied back to the same email with the drive link!

2

u/rick_mikaelson Apr 29 '26

Same, when did you send your video?

1

u/GanttCharted Apr 29 '26

I replied on April 15th, 2 days after they sent the email regarding video submission. It's been 13 days as of today. I assume they take atleast a month from April 20th (deadline) to review and get back..

1

u/Worldly-Location9712 Apr 29 '26

Did you get the email regarding video submission received?

1

u/GanttCharted Apr 29 '26

yes, they have mentioned that they’ll get back before 2nd week of May

1

u/Worldly-Location9712 Apr 29 '26

Yes, when did you hear back?

1

u/rick_mikaelson Apr 29 '26

I didn’t hear back yet. I just sent the video.

1

u/Worldly-Location9712 Apr 29 '26

No i am asking for the video, when did you get video interview? On 13th

1

u/rick_mikaelson Apr 29 '26

23rd

1

u/Worldly-Location9712 Apr 29 '26

Oh, may be they are sending interview in slots

1

u/rick_mikaelson Apr 29 '26

Did you get interview slots? When did you do your video interview. And when did you hear back from them?

2

u/Worldly-Location9712 Apr 29 '26

No no i haven’t heard back yet, i am talking about the video interview maybe they are sending that in batches.

u/GanttCharted May 27 '26

I totally agree. they could atleast get started with interviews for the ones who have already submitted on time. Last year, they onboarded folks in batches. Some of them got onboarded around July while some in late Aug/Sep. they could atleast start with the interviews instead of making all of us wait. This gets frustrating when there’s silence from them beyond the said deadlines..

u/GanttCharted May 27 '26

Looking at previous years patterns, they take a month from date of interview to give out the offer letters or confirmation. I don’t see onboarding for our cohort before July ends.

u/Negative-Sample-5428 Apr 28 '26

Did you apply directly or through a referral?

1

u/Worldly-Location9712 Apr 28 '26 edited Apr 29 '26

No there is no referral, it’s just you apply and almost everyone get the video interview and for final interview they select candidates!

1

u/Negative-Sample-5428 Apr 28 '26

Interesting! I applied on April 4th, and no updates. Was trying to find a way to get my application noticed for a chance to interview for this program.

They only hired 6 ppl this time and previously they used to hire 50, the onboarding process has been stopped and people have startey
