Before Applying for Jobs: Understanding the Nature of the Firm
Tech Mahindra works in Information Technology services, telecommunications, engineering, and Business Process Services (BPS). So the jobs do not cover software engineers only. The opportunities include testing, support executives, networking, cloud, cybersecurity professionals, and other positions. Recently, the company has even offered AI governance jobs, indicating where the recruitment is going to move in the future.
But one must admit that the hiring trend is not linear. Over the last three quarters of the 2025-26 fiscal year, the staffing level has decreased at the company, which has declared its focus on efficiency via artificial intelligence. However, it doesn’t imply that job positions are restricted, just that vacancies become more targeted, and an average resume does not catch an eye.
Step 1: Have Your Resume Ready
Each CV will get only a few seconds from recruiters; therefore, it has to be brief.
- Resume will be of one to two pages long and in PDF format
- Skills will be listed from the job description but limited to those that you possess
- List your actions and accomplishments such as Developed a billing module that reduced manual data entry by 30% instead of being responsible for billing
- List of Projects/Certifications along with their brief description will be listed too.
- Make sure that your resume matches the details of your portal regarding your name and contact information.
Your CV needs to be customized for each individual application. This simply requires you to edit the first two paragraphs, and this process will take you five minutes.
Step 2: Create Your Profile on the Careers Portal
Go to careers.techmahindra.com and register yourself. Your first name, last name, email address, mobile phone number, and password will be requested from you on the portal. It is recommended that your email address is updated and active because most interviews are done through email.
Step 3: Do Research and Choose an Appropriate Job
Please make use of the search box along with filters according to the job profile/skills, location and experience. Some tips are:
- Search by skills (Java, Testing, Network, Customer Support) instead of just looking up titles as they differ across teams.
- First read the part of eligibility criteria: Degree, Year of Passing, Experience & Shift Timings.
- Apply for jobs you qualify for only. It is better to apply ten times appropriately than fifty times randomly.
In case you are applying for the position from another country than India, it is wise to see if the position requires relocation or the possibility of working remotely. Positions can often be found in Indian cities where residence permit is required.
Step 4: Fill the Application Form
Give complete information about your educational qualifications, experience, skillset, and notice period in case you have a job at present. Give the information in accordance with the information available in your CV. Any inconsistency will make verification hard.
Upload your CV. It is not mandatory to write a cover letter for any job, but an introductory note of 3 or 4 lines may do well for an experienced job.
Before you press Submit, check all that again, and save the confirmation email/reference number.
Step 5: After You Submit Your Application
This will happen in the standard manner of application screening, followed by an online test depending upon the position, then interview, and then Human Resources Discussion/Offer. The order is determined depending upon the nature of the job.
For freshers, recent selection reports describe four rounds:
- Online assessment: This assessment has been made based on the pattern of ELQ for the company and there are three parts in it with their respective cut-offs.
- Round of Writing/Story Writing: It tests your communication skills.
- Technical Interview: Here, the questions are based on the resume and basic knowledge of the subject itself.
- Interview with HR Department: Personal introduction, Communication skills, Attitude towards relocation and Future plans
For those with experience, the written tests might not be required at all. You could proceed directly to technical or managerial interviews along with the HR interview round.
In order to provide support for BPS jobs (voice or chat), many times both walk-in and online campaigns involve HR interview, voice and accent test, and operation interview.
Many are being conducted online now, so check your internet and web cam in advance.
These circular designs can be considered guidelines, not an assurance. Tech Mahindra uses different formats for each drive. The steps to follow will be included in the email invite.
How to Prepare for the Interview
- Get to know your résumé. Most technical questions will come out of your résumé. Whatever you write in your résumé, be prepared to explain.
- Improve basics. Beginners need to improve their basics, which include coding in simpler problems, logic and English writing skills.
- Read about the company. Learn about Tech Mahindra’s business and which sectors the company serves. Also learn about the job profile you have applied for.
- Have ready simple answers to common questions. Tell me something about yourself, why Tech Mahindra? and Why should we hire you? are some examples that you will see in virtually all interviews.
- Be prepared to talk about location and changes. Lots of jobs require relocation and night shifts.
- Select a silent and well-lit location for recording your lecture, and make sure to be logged in five minutes before the lecture starts.
Expressing gratitude in written form to the recruiter after the interview is a courteous way, but it will not make any difference in the outcome.
After the Interview: Offer and Joining
In case you are chosen, you will receive a letter indicating your position, place of posting, salary, joining details, among other important aspects. Go through the letter carefully. If there is any issue that you may want to inquire from the HR department regarding your joining including issues on probation or bond, do so before signing.
