Get ready for the recruitment meeting

Congratulations on getting through the first steps of the recruitment process. We are happy that you have decided to join our company. To make your preparation for the following stage of the recruitment process easier, we have created the below leaflet with some information on our company and the online interview.

Currently we work in a hybrid model, that’s why most of our interviews happen remotely, but sometimes there are exceptions and we might have a chance to meet in person. Have a look at our gallery to see what our offices (e.g. in Krakow) look like and make yourself at home!

Drop down individual sections below to learn more.

Figures do not lie — Capgemini is an international community made of many professionals and experts in their areas.

We have more than 11,000 employees in Poland and 270,000 employees all over the world in 50 countries!

But it is not figures that speak about us the most. The most can be told by the company philosophy. Before you read about it in the next section, meet Capgeminers, because people are the most important for us. Thanks to knowledge, experience and creativity of our employees we have the position of the global leader in consulting, technology services and digital transformation.

Capgeminers are experts in their areas of expertise, and it is worth knowing that we represent many various domains and sectors. Our activities and diversity are inspired by 7 values which make the work for Capgemini exceptional. These are: honesty, baldness, trust, freedom, fun, modesty, team spirit. One of them – FUN – is for us materialised in the following way:

Capgemini Poland is a part of a global Capgemini brand recognized all over the world. Polish branch has been present on the market since 1996, and it is the biggest foreign investor in the area of modern business services nationwide. Our business centres are located in Krakow, Katowice, Wrocław, Poznań, Opole, Warsaw, Lublin and Gdańsk. We are constantly growing and expanding to new locations. We work in a hybrid model which is a combination of working from home and working from the office (WorkAnchorPoint).

“Unleashing human energy through technology for an inclusive and sustainable future”

Digital transformation should benefit all of humanity. Capgemini intends to be a benchmark in terms of its contribution to society, not just for its own activities but for those of its customers too, fighting exclusion and acting to promote diversity, ensuring equal opportunities and the preservation of natural resources. The very heart of Capgemini purpose is to build an inclusive and sustainable future for all.


Diversity is in DNA of Capgemini. We are open to new people, new ideas and solutions. We offer our employees various development paths in many areas and at many positions. We do not fear for new technologies or changes.

Why is diversity so important? Because it allows to broaden the horizons, it inspires, suggests non-standard solutions and encourages development.

And development is the second key success factor for our company; we count on it at every stage and support it on every level. We know that specialists and experts do not stand still, they want to develop continuously, explore new areas and test themselves in new circumstances. This is why we ensure multidirectional development, engage in original initiatives, search for non-standard solutions. You can read more on the development opportunities in the section ”Discover what Capgemini can offer you”.

The third important aspect is atmosphere. Capgeminers like having fun, drinking coffee together (even if now it is possible only virtually), sharing experiences, going to the mountains or to the seaside. They like to support, but also to challenge each other. We are not afraid of difficult questions, new initiatives, raising competences and discovering unknown spaces.

One of our Global Business Lines is Capgemini Business Services (BSv). BSv service centre offers the clients all over the world innovative solutions in finance and accounting, banking operations, supply management, or human resources management, as wall as multilingual customer service. It also hires highly specialised business consultants who provide consulting services in business and finance process transformation, as well as experts in robot automation and intelligent automation.

Capgemini Business Services is the biggest (5,000 strong) business line of Capgemini Poland. We have offices in Krakow and Katowice, however some people also work for us remotely from other locations.

Among our Global Business Lines, there are also several teams operating under the name Shared and Group Functions. They are created by extraordinary people who support Capgemini Group in such areas as IT, HR, finance, procurement, training, recruitment marketing and many more.

Being one of us means first of all stability of employment and continuous development among incredible people. We want to share our experience with you on a partnership basis.
 
 Areas of development in Capgemini Business Services and Shared and Group Functions:

  • finance and accounting
  • consulting and business process transformation
  • intelligent and robotic business process automation
  • management controlling
  • procurement and bookkeeping
  • analysis and market research
  • supply chain
  • human resources management

For us, interview is not a contest with tricky question. We want to get to know you and we want you to get to know us. Prepare for the meeting, as we for sure ask you about your strengths and areas in which you feel you are good. If you can give examples to support your skills, it will be a great asset. The recruiter may also ask you how you behave in difficult situations, or if you have ever been in such situations, and how you managed to cope with.

Remember that we wanna see what’s best in you, that’s why we share the same goal – to discobver your true potential. Depending on the position applied for, also questions testing your knowledge may arise, e.g. in finance, processes or technology.

STAR model may be helpful in preparation for the interview. In case of questions on your hitherto behaviour e.g. in difficult situations, you may build your answer on the below elements:

  • S like Situation – describe the situation which was difficult for you
  • T like Task – tell what you had to do in the situation and what difficulties occurred
  • A like Action – present actions taken to solve the problems
  • R like Result – sum up the results of your actions, and give conclusions you have drawn. Tell the recruiter what you have learnt from that situation, and whether you would behave like that in similar circumstances.

Interview is also a good moment for the manager to learn about your aspirations, expectations and motivation behind your intention to join Capgemini.

Remember that conversation means dialogue, so if you want to learn more on the job description or working style of a given team, this is a good time to ask questions.

As we know, the year 2020 changed a lot… the mode of communication has changed as well since. Currently we work in a hybrid model, that’s why most of the interviews happen online. We have several hints for you to help you prepare for this kind of meeting.

Think: People!

  1. Good internet connection

    Inform household members about the planned conversation so that they can reduce the Internet load.

Think: Technology!

  1. Get acquainted with the communicator we use (the information is in the invitation to the interview)

    Before you connect with us, test the equipment you will be using.
  1. Prepare your surroundings and introduce yourself in a good light

    A good impression is important. We use webcams for conversations, so check what we can see when we talk to you (camera scope).

    Take care of balanced lighting so that we can get to know you in a good light.
  2. Applications on the phone / computer

    Before the meeting, turn off any applications that may distract you or interfere with your conversation.

Think: Extras!

  1. Dress code – our conversations take place using a webcam.

    Business casual will make the best impression.

Think: time!

  1. Punctuality

    Join the meeting 5 minutes before its scheduled start. In case of technical problems, you will have time to solve them or inform us about the situation.
