Applied online and was offered a telephone interview which lasted about 25 minutes. Basic questions such as what I know about the company, why I applied for the job and an experience I've had where someone gave me great customer service. After the interview, I was put on hold for about 3 minutes so the interviewer could calculate my score and then was offered an "interview" at an assessment centre 2 days later.
The assessment centre "interview" wasn't really an interview but merely a simple group activity. There was only 5 of us in our group. Our task was to allocate different amounts of money (budget was £2million) between 5 endangered animals and we had to explain our reasoning for which animal should get the most and why. After the group activity was finished, we had a tour around the call centre. The whole trip was supposed to take 2 hours but we were only there for just over an hour. Received a call a few hours later telling me I had been successful and was offered a job.

Question 1
Why have you applied for this job?what do you know about capita?
I applied online. I interviewed at Capita in May 2017
Interview
I received a phone call where they asked about my experience etc. and told me a little bit about what was involved in the position. A few days later, I was invited to attend an interview. I had to wait a bit over an hour past the time I was scheduled to be interviewed. The interview was with a senior member of the team and another member of staff. It was my first interview ever and I wasn't prepared to be asked so many questions. They will ask you everything about your background and experience so be ready. They told me, I would hear back 3 days later. I didn't hear back until 3 weeks later, when I received a letter telling me I was unsuccessful. Overall, I thought they were quite unprofessional.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Capita
Interview
Online application with basic questions. They then got in touch and arranged a time for a phone interview with more in depth questions. After that there was also a group interview with a short activity and we were shown around the building, at this point it was obvious they were giving us jobs.
All done in a fairly short time period.
