I applied online. I interviewed at HGS (Ottawa, ON) in Apr 2022
Interview
10am Zoom Meeting nobody is there.
10:40am meeting starts and theres over 20 people there.
They asked us if we did our assessments one by one. If you have done it you move to another room.
11:45am Finally someone talked to me and asked for the speedtest link they need to show we have good internet for the job.
12pm Moved to another room, this time for the interview waiting room. This room is silent with a revolving door of other candidates waiting to be interviewed.
It is currently 1pm. over 3 hours and I still havent had an interview. This process is extremely terrible with a complete disregard for our time. They were not punctual to the 10am interview start time and instead got started 40minutes late. Had us jump through hoops and wait to be served like it was a fast food joint. Then finally when they get to me, i past the link they need and they move me to the next stage. All of this could have been one email with the link and after assessing the test and the link I sent, book a 1 on 1 interview instead of waiting over 3 hours and still nothing!! this is the worst process I have ever seen.

Other Customer Service Representative interview reviews for HGS
I applied online. I interviewed at HGS (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2026
Interview
The hiring process starts well with an initial screening and final interview, but the post-interview stage shows a complete lack of organizational standards. Despite following up multiple times via email and social media, I was completely ghosted after a single, brief response, having been told they would update me soon, but they have not reached out ever since. Leaving a candidate hanging for weeks instead of sending a simple rejection is highly unprofessional and a major disrespect to my time. The job market is difficult, and companies must respect applicants' effort. I will never apply to HGS again, as they have shown clear red flags. An automated reply telling applicants to contact a support email does not hide how disorganized and unacceptable the communication framework is, and the fact that candidates are being treated as entirely disposable data. I am sharing this to provide transparency for future candidates. After completing the final interview stage, communication completely ceased. Despite following up, I received no update. Candidates invest a lot of time into this process, and there should be accountability regarding basic communication. I hope this review serves as a necessary wake-up call for how people are treated. There is a clear double standard in the recruitment process. Communication is only given to accepted applicants, while rejected and backup candidates are completely ghosted. It truly makes one wonder how a company's customers would feel if they knew how poorly job candidates are treated behind the scenes. There must be professional accountability for this level of disorganization, and I am speaking out so future candidates know exactly what to expect.
