First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at UKG.
Accountant
HR Harleen Kaur managed the recruitment process. The initial screening was on July 31st, '25, followed by the first round on August 4th, which I passed. HR told me the second round was set for August 6th. After that, I heard nothing from HR until August 14th, despite calling, emailing, and messaging. I contacted the second-round manager on LinkedIn on August 13th, and he said HR would update me. On August 14th, HR confirmed I passed round two and set up the third round, an in-person interview with the Finance Director for August 18th. After the third round, HR communication stopped. I followed up by phone, email, and message, but got no response. On August 29th, HR finally said feedback was positive, but the manager, Manender Johri, wanted to interview more candidates. As of September 18th, no update despite my follow-ups. I received an official email on August 23rd, '25, stating they'd chosen other candidates. The whole process was unprofessional and disrespectful of my time, lasting almost two months. They said I had positive feedback for all three rounds, so why the lack of decision? Keeping me in limbo for over a month after clearing rounds shows poor hiring ethics and communication.

Payroll Specialist
I got a phone screening from a Talent Acquisition Specialist, and then I moved on to a Skype Interview. The phone screening went really well. The talent acquisition specialist asked me why I wanted to work for the company and how I thought my skills and knowledge would be a good fit for the job. The Skype interview was with the Director of Training Services. She seemed really distracted during it, not paying much attention to me. She even had to get up because the vacuum started going in her house. I kept hearing her phone ringing in the background the whole time.
- What motivates you to want to join our company?
- How do you see your skills and knowledge aligning with the requirements of this role?
Payroll Specialist
The interview process was pretty extensive. There was a phone interview followed by a face-to-face interview and finished with a panel interview. If you pass the phone interview you will be brought in to have a face-to-face interview with the talent team. If they like you, you will then be asked to interview in front of a panel of managers.
- Tell me about a situation where you encountered a problem you didn't know how to solve.
