Hi all,
Next week I will be going through stage 4 which an online case study interview. The recruiter said I will be given some time to ask questions then prepare a powerpoint.
My questions are:
1- Does anyone know what type of case study mostly used at Capco?
2- Does anyone know how this powerpoint is presented online? and what are the main sections to be included?
Thank you for your support and wish me luck :)

Hi there,
First, good luck!
I recommend the following:
I have a number of written case I'd be more than happy to share with you! What I generally do with my candidates is, give them a written case x hours before our scheduled session (adjust # of hours based on the specific interview they're going to have), and then review their work during the session (as well as talk through tips+tricks to get better). This obviously includes helping you format the powerpoint effectively.
Likely Case Types:
Don't overthink this! They're going to give you a case that relates to their line of work. Based on their website, this means you'll be tested on a Digital/Tech topic in any of the following industries:

Hi Hassan,
I have had a little exposure to Capco but not to the extent of understanding their hiring process well. I doubt anyone here would have had any exposure to them either.
Am assuming HR has given you a brief on what to expect for the case, how many slides to prepare and how much time you will have. Also unclear from your question which specific area of Capco you are interviewing for: Consulting or Tech?
If you need help with the presentation/written case practice, feel free to send me a direct message. I know for sure that its similar to the Big4 for which I have helped any candidates be successful recently.

Hello!
Written case interviews are indeed becoming very fashionable nowadays as a way to interview!
Remember that the skillset tested is the same than in the "usual" cases, hence, all the practice you may have done totally plays in your favor.
One important point to add is the need to be very 80-20, structured and to the point, since the prep time is very short, so we need discipline with the analysis to have enaugh time to prep the communication strategy.
There are many many entries in thsi same Q&A regarding written cases, hence, I would recommend you to look with the keywords "written case"
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara
