HCLTech collaboration services hiring 2026 for freshers, Chennai
HCLTech's collaboration services team in Chennai needs recent graduates who can support users on Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Outlook and OneDrive. This HCLTech collaboration services opening is a support role. You help people use these tools, and you fix issues when something stops working.
The job sits on HCLTech's Campus-Beginner track, the label the company uses for campus and fresher hiring. The page is short, so below we explain what it says, what collaboration support usually involves, and how to prepare on the four named tools.
Teams, SharePoint, Outlook and OneDrive
The listing names exactly four platforms. Put simply, Teams is for chat and meetings, SharePoint is for shared team sites and documents, Outlook is for mail and calendars, and OneDrive is for each person's own files. All four are part of Microsoft 365, though the listing does not use that name.
The job summary says you will give user support and troubleshoot issues. The aim is to keep collaboration smooth across the organisations the team supports. The duties section on the page repeats the same text. So the HCLTech collaboration services role is about keeping these four tools working for the users it supports.
Who the listing is for
The page asks for a recent graduate with knowledge of collaboration and communication platforms. It names no degree subject, batch year, score or years of experience. So any recent graduate who knows these tools fits what it asks.
It is not the right pick if you want a coding role. The listing has no programming duties, and the work is closer to IT support than to software development. If you want development work, look at the engineering job listings instead. If support suits you, the BCA and B.Sc jobs page has more desk roles.
What the page leaves out
The page leaves several things out. It does not say whether the work is in shifts, or whether support is by phone, chat or tickets. It names no pay and no client. Ask about each of these if HCLTech calls you. Do not assume a night shift or a fixed salary from posts you see elsewhere.
Learning the four tools properly
Using Teams as a student is not the same as supporting it for a company. The points below are general Microsoft 365 support knowledge, not lines from the listing.
Teams: understand teams and channels, private and shared channels, guest access and meeting settings. Learn the usual reasons a user cannot hear audio or cannot sign in.
SharePoint: know sites, document libraries, permissions and sharing links. Many SharePoint requests are about who can see a file, so learn how permission inheritance works and how to share a folder safely.
Outlook: learn profiles, cached mode, shared mailboxes, calendar delegation and rules. Know how to rebuild a broken profile.
OneDrive: cover sync, Files On-Demand, restoring a deleted file and version history.
Microsoft offers free learning paths on its Learn site, and the Microsoft 365 Fundamentals exam (MS-900) covers the basics. The listing requires neither, but either gives you something concrete to show for the HCLTech collaboration services skills the page asks for.
On your resume, name the tools you have used and how. A line such as set up a Teams channel for a college club, or ran a shared OneDrive folder for a project group, says more than a bare list. Keep it true. An interviewer for the HCLTech collaboration services role can test any tool you list, so leave out ones you have only heard of.
Sample cases to talk through
To make the duties concrete, here are the kinds of issues a collaboration support desk often sees. This is general context; the HCLTech listing does not list them.
A user cannot join a Teams meeting from a browser. A team cannot open a SharePoint folder that was shared last week. A calendar invite shows the wrong time zone. OneDrive shows a red cross on a file that will not sync. In each case you check the account, the permissions or the app settings, try the known fix, and write a clear note.
In an interview, pick two of these and talk through your steps. Say what you would check first, what you would try, and when you would pass the case to a senior. That shows the troubleshooting skill the listing asks for in a way a marks sheet cannot.
Applying for the Chennai collaboration role
Apply on the company's own job page: HCLTech collaboration services listing (156253). The page shows no last date, no pay and no shift details. The listing mentions no fee. If anyone asks you for money to process an HCLTech application, treat it as a scam.
