Who are Capco?

What is ATP?
The Associate Talent Programme is the entry level into Capco, we pride ourselves in being different and
more than just a graduate programme. We are also open to candidates who are career changers or have
limited experience.
ATP has been running successfully for 4 years, it has evolved and grown in that time. It is led by both the
business and recruitment working collaboratively, to ensure we have the best programme possible.
How do we Attract the top talent in the Market?
UAT Team – this is the university action team who work with ** universities across the country. We work
closely with the universities to help support students and give them a clear understanding of consultancy
and what we do. We also run workshops for CVs and interviewing , and present on current topics in the
industry to give the students more insight.
Events – We also run events held at the Capco offices which are open not only to students but targeted at
career changers. Over the years we have had a number of successful employees come from different
background such as : Military, Qualified accountants and Teaching.

What Makes our Process different?
First of all we want to make sure that the candidates have a great experience and that they are
informed throughout the process. At each stage candidates are emailed and advised of the
timescales to the next stage. We work to strict SLAs so the first 3 parts of the process are completed
In a timely manner.
Application From and CV
The first part of the process has a 72 hour SLA so candidates are told within that time if they have been
successful to the next stage of the process

Video Interviewing
We launched the video interviewing with the help of a third party platform, which has significantly helped
with the quality of candidates who now progress to the Assessment centre stage.
Once the candidates have passed the CV and application process they are then invited to complete a
video interview. This consists of 3 questions. The process is simple to complete and can even be
completed with a mobile phone.
When the candidates pass the CV review stage, they are invited to take part in the video interview, the
platform takes them on a journey so they can find out more about the interview process.
They see an introduction to Capco and a short video aimed at ATP careers:

Video Interviewing
Candidates are also given a short message of how to complete the video, by one of the previous
associates who has completed the process.
They also given clear instructions on how to set up the camera and ensure that everything is working
Correctly.

Video Interviewing
Candidates are then also given the opportunity to complete a practice question as many times as they
like, until they are comfortable with the camera. Then they are given clear instructions on how to complete
the questions.
Once they are ready to move on they can then complete the 3 questions which counts them down and lets
them know how much time they have to complete the question. Once they have completed all 3 questions
it is complete.

Assessment Centre
The next stage of the process is the Assessment centre , this is ran both by recruitment and the business
who are some of the assessors . We feel that this gives the candidates a real insight in to the Capco and
gives people the opportunity to ask questions and an insight into the role.
The AC consists of:
 Introduction by one of the 2 Partners who sponsor the programme. They give an insight and overall
view of Capco and our vison.
 Quick Fire Round - candidates are asked a number of questions in a short space of time, they move
around 5 interviewers having 5 minutes with each interviewer. Giving them time to demonstrate their
ability to think on their feet.
 Inbox exercise – this involves a test with multiple choice questions testing their aptitude, spelling and
grammar, mathematics and logical thinking
 Case Study – the candidates are put into groups of 5 or 6 and given a real life consultancy issue asking
then to act as consultants as if on client site, they are then asked to present their findings at the end.
 Question and Answers – candidates are given the opportunity to ask existing associates questions
 Close – Partners close the session and consultants and HR are available to answer any questions
candidates may have.

Face to Face Interviews
 The final stage of the interview process is then face to face interviews with:
 Human Capital
Competency based questions
 The Business
Testing their content, and also logical thinking in a mini individual case study
 Partner interview
Final stage testing all of the above and testing commitment and motivation.
From final interview candidates are told within 48hours if they have been successful or not.

Starting at Capco
 New Joiner Event s
Before joining all candidates are invited to new joiner drinks where they have the opportunity to meet more
people from the business and also their new colleagues.
 Buddies
All new joiners are allocated a buddy, who they can contact before they join if they have any questions.
They can advise on suggested reading etc and help and suppot the new joiners once they join Capco.

Training and Support
 Training

successful consultant. With training from internal and external providers.
 Support and Follow up
There is continued support for all new joiners, in terms of their coaches and buddies, Capco is very
welcoming and collaborative so everyone has the opportunity to meet more people at various events such
as the town halls.
ATP also invites all new joiners to attend a team building weekend, which involves various team building
games giving them the chance to understand and get to know their peers.

Training and Support
 Community Groups
We hold regular community events for all of the Associates in Capco , helping them to build their network
and talk through any issues they may have. The events cover business updates and talk through any
topical industry issues. Also giving associates the opportunity to present and give everyone the opportunity
to have a boarder awareness of the different projects and type of work at Capco.
