I interviewed at Capital Economics (London, England)
Interview
Initial interview - having made it to interview with HR I felt the company missed a trick by not inviting me to the second round. I have a large network of contacts and ability to convert opportunities at the C suite level - plus a background in economics.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capital Economics (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2022
Interview
Straightforward. Spoke with head of sales, CRO, and another rep on the team. Afterward was provided with the offer. Not a time wasting interview process and moved fast which was greatly appreciated.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Capital Economics (London, England) in Jul 2025
Interview
Submit application, complete a written test on a general macro topic (i.e. interest rates, inflation, central bank, e.t.c.) and finally a final interview with 2 economists. Overall, the interviewers were very friendly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly behavioral questions, with a technical question at the end on a current global macro issue, it wasn't necessarily difficult but I unnecessarily over-complicated it.
