Applying is simple

We've moved on from traditional group assessments, 20 page application forms and endless rounds of interviews….We pride ourselves on offering something a little bit different. This begins from day one with our application process.

All you have to do is apply online attaching your CV. Click on Join Our Team and search for 'Analysis' or 'Graduate' roles in Nottingham, choose 'Graduate Business Analyst' to apply.

If your CV is accepted you'll take part in an online testing session. If you're successful then you will be invited to Capital One for an assessment day. We take a real interest in our graduates, so unlike most other schemes you'll get at least one interview with a Director or Vice-President.

The assessment day provides you with a unique chance to experience what it's really like to work for us before you start. You'll spend an hour talking through an example analytical problem with one of our Business Analysts / Senior Managers. Don't worry though - we won't expect you to know about credit cards, we just want to know if you like a challenge.
 

Numerical Testing

We ask you to complete a numerical and psychometric questionnaire. Due to the nature of the questionnaires, little preparation can be done but we are happy to send some more information with example questions to you before you come in. For the numerical test, it will probably help you to spend some time practising things like percentage increases /decreases, ratios and fractions.
 

Assessment Days

An assessment day consists of 2/3 Case Study interviews, 1 Behavioural Interview and an interview about the role you're interested in. This will be your opportunity to ask questions, so please come prepared.
 

Case Study Interviews

Our case study interviews are different as they allow you to experience what it would actually be like to work for us by discussing a business problem with you. They are broad, two-way discussions, rather than one-way tests. We are interested in both the solution you reach and the way you think things through in coming to your conclusions.
 

Behavioural Interviews

In these more traditional question-and-answer interviews, you'll be asked to talk about specific experiences you've had in school, university and work environments.

In the interviews we will look for specific examples of where you have demonstrated certain competencies.

You will be asked questions such as:

• Can you tell me about a time when you used your influencing skills?
• Please describe a project that made you very proud?
