Every employer should know what motivates their staff. Capco knows motivation contributes to employee tenure and productivity. Research the company and what Capco has to offer you. You'll need to explore the language of their various job postings to find their appropriate keywords, key phrases, and unique talking points. When talking to the interviewer about what motivates you in your job search or career, align your motivators with what they have to offer. This will communicate that you are invested in pursuing this opportunity with them, as opposed to finding any job anywhere that you are qualified for.

"Thank you for asking! I appreciate that Capco cares about employee motivation levels. I am best motivated through words of praise and recognition for a job well done. My current manager motivates me by reminding me that she has full faith in my work. Those words boost my confidence and feed my fire, especially on more challenging client projects. I like to know that my efforts are noticed. In my current position, we have a team leaderboard, and I like that concept because it creates healthy competition."

"One of the aspects of Capco's employee culture that was most appealing to me was the fact that you are assigned a leadership mentor, or coach, that guides you through your career with Capco. I pride myself on my ability to coach and have always tried to help further along the goals of those who are less experienced than I am. So this is a great motivator for me."
