Capco + KPMG Assessment Centres for experienced hires

Hi,

I've Capco and KPMG AC next week as an experienced hire!

Would be great to get some insight if you've experienced any of the two.

Specifically:

1. Case study by Capco - I believe it'd be on an Investment Bank / Capital Market. 20 min to look at the material with another 20 min to prepare a PP presentation. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

2. KPMG - want a presentation prepared prior to the AC on a project re Finance Function, how did I add value and how can this be turned into an opportunity for KPMG.

Thanks for any tips

Which team within KPMG?

It's in Financial Management Advisory

Hi There,

How did you assessment go with KPMG? Can you share your insights? I also have AC with KPMG for FM consulting in a couple of weeks.

Many thanks.

Regards,

Hi

Here is the breakdown of my AC with KPMG:

1. Case Study: First up was a case study with 4 other applicants. It was on a defence based co. The key here is not to know loads about the sector but how well you come across in a, first, group discussion and, second, actual presentation. Ensure you 'LISTEN' to what others are saying as well. Don't 'over-participate' etc etc

2. Presentation: You have nine or ten min to make your presentation. Topic would be give well in advance. I guess key here is to know various offerings of KPMG as presentation asks how KPMG could add value to one of the projects you were involved in. Also, ensure you stay within the time allocated!

3. Technical Interview: Run of the mill competency based interview

4. HR Interview: I was surprised that apart from the usual HR Qs they also asked loads of competency based Qs as well focussing on team situations etc. So be well prepared and don't think of it as the 'easy' part of the AC

Good luck and let us know how you got on.
