HGS Assessments
Your journey with HGS begins the moment you submit your application. As you embark on this exciting path, we want to ensure that you are not just another applicant, but a potential member of our dynamic team. That is where our assessments come in - they are designed to give us insight into how you will thrive within our company culture.

Our Use of Technology and AI in Recruitment
At HGS, we continually look for ways to improve our recruitment processes while ensuring a fair, inclusive, and positive experience for every candidate.
As part of this, we may use technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), to support certain stages of our recruitment process, such as helping with the initial screening of applications. AI is used solely as a support tool to help our recruitment teams work more efficiently and consistently.
AI does not replace human decision‑making at HGS. Every recruitment decision — including shortlisting, interviewing, and hiring — is made by a member of the HGS recruitment or hiring team.

Virtual Interviews and Recordings
For final‑stage interviews conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams, interviews may be recorded and transcribed. This helps interviewers keep clear, accurate, and concise notes to support a fair and well‑considered decision‑making process.
You will always be advised at the start of the interview if recording and transcription are enabled.
If you do not wish for your interview to be recorded, simply inform your interviewer at the beginning of the meeting, and the recording function will be disabled.We are committed to using technology responsibly, transparently, and in a way that supports fairness, accuracy, and respect for all candidates.
Each section is timed, so make sure you are prepared to dive in. Once you start, you will need to complete the assessment without switching browsers, ensuring an accurate representation of your abilities.
Video Interview
After completing the online assessment, you'll proceed to the Video Interview, which replaces traditional phone screenings. Choose a quiet environment and ensure your device meets all technical specifications. During the interview, you will answer four questions, each allowing 2 minutes for response and a brief 10-second preparation period beforehand. Clear instructions and prompts will guide you smoothly through this process. The entire process, including both the online assessment and the video interview, is designed to be completed in approximately 20 to 45 minutes. This efficient timeline helps us swiftly assess key competencies while respecting your time.

Once your online assessment and Video Interview have been completed, our recruitment team will be promptly notified and will review your application. Depending on your performance, you will either receive an invitation to a Final Stage Interview with a hiring manager or a confirmation that your application has not been successful.
Successful candidates will be contacted by phone to discuss our available roles, check your availability for upcoming interviews, and schedule your virtual interview. At this stage, if you require any reasonable accommodations to perform at your best, please ensure you inform your recruiter.
