Capita "Lead the Way" Graduate Scheme

Has anyone done the tests that are required before the assessment day? I'm having technical issues with mine and the deadline is tomorrow :/ I'm going to the assessment centre on the 13th August.

I would email Andrea Cadd she sorted out my problem and don't worry about the log in info I wasn't asked for it either ([email protected])

to those who have had the assessment centre how did it go? I have mine coming up and was just curious, is there more numerical reasoning to be expected?
Thanks

Hi, I have had mine and no there are no numericals on the day good luck!!!

Anyone heard anything since the AC??

Thanks

can anyone let us know exactly what was done in the assessmenrlt centre ie the written exercise? and anything else that was asked.

at the end of the day it could be said that it was unfair of me posting the telephone interview questions at the beginning. also people who have already had their ac, the telephone interviewer said theres approx 30 people in each ac and 10 will get selected from each ac so by you telling us will not affect your own chances

Doesn't seem very clear from the website what the job is? Perhaps it becomes clearer when you apply, but from looking at their graduate section I can't see anything that actually says what the role involves (other than there being rotations).

Hope you guys have looked in to that!

Because there isn't one. They operate over about 12 sectors and 30 graduates will be placed all over the group.

One "Capita" umbrella but Graduate 1 will be doing a very different job to Graduate 30.

I'll be judging the job on its merits (and location) if and when i'm offered something.

In fairness, aren't a fair chunk of graduate schemes pretty vague?

Not that vague in my experience.

On the one hand, they are a very credible employer so it might be a good opportunity. On the other hand, they specialise in outsourcing so my fear would be ending up part of an outsourced business process for two years in some sort of service centre (HR/IT/Finance support work).

I guess it might be a gamble worth taking; 25k isn't bad and you don't have to stay if it doesn't work out!

Summed it up for me. Won't be a risk worth taking for everyone (I reckon they'll end up having a few declined offers once they expand a little - i'll certainly have a number of questions) but I see progression there.

They have a thriving recruitment base - if they wanted 'office monkeys' to plug outsource holes, I think they could get them (and they are advertising for a number of specific graduate job roles currently). This scheme has been invested in pretty heavily and has been really focused on management and leadership of the Group.

Only 30% of their employees joined Capita as an entity so I reckon there'll be the opportunity to grow and lead with them. They're bound to favour their own people...

As you say, fair few risks but a FTSE100 company (with a lot of diversity), decent salary, good locations, chance of progression and a fully funded MSc after two years as well.

Hi, I am a student that is due to graduate in May/June 2014. Has this Capita Graduate Scheme already closed for the intake that would be due to start during Septemberish 2014?

Thanks
