The application process for Capgemini's graduate scheme is unnecessarily lengthy and repetitive. Candidates are required to write 600+ words across multiple questions, much of which directly overlaps with content already provided in the CV and cover letter. Questions about values, motivations, and technical skills are asked multiple times in slightly different formats, which feels like busy work rather than meaningful assessment. For example, explaining why Capgemini's values matter (200+ words) when you've already written a cover letter discussing this creates redundant effort. While I understand comprehensive assessment is important for graduate roles, the process could be significantly streamlined. Consider: consolidated questions, allowing CV uploads to cover technical skills rather than re-typing them, or shorter word counts for motivation questions. The time investment feels disproportionate to the actual insight gained about candidates. For students applying to multiple graduate schemes, this creates unnecessary barriers.
