I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capco (London, England) in May 2016
Interview
The interview process was very different to other experiences but fun! Started off submitting my CV, Cover Letter and answers to a few questions about financial services. This was followed by an automatic video interview whereby a question would pop up on the screen and then you had 1 minute to prepare your answer and 1 minute to answer. I was then invited to an assessment centre which consisted of four, 4 minute "quick fire" interviews, a group case study on an M&A and then a verbal and numerical reasoning test. After this I was invited back to interviews with a Managing Principal and an HR recruiter. Within two days I was called with the job offer.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Capco (London, England) in May 2026
Interview
The recruitment process felt genuinely well thought out compared to other firms I interviewed with. The initial video interview involved four experience-based questions and one case study style question which gave a real taste of what the role involves. From there, the in-person assessment centre was intense but energising. You are in a group of up to nine candidates with senior consultants observing throughout, working through a real FS case study and an individual task. The people I met were engaged and clearly invested in finding the right fit rather than just ticking boxes. Dan in recruitment was brilliant throughout and kept me informed at every stage

I applied for data consulting role. Overall smooth interview process. There was one SJT type online assessment, one technical case study which was presented to a senior/principal consulting, and the final interview was with a principal/managing principal consultant. Overall pretty generic process.
