COVID-19 Impact: Capgemini Changes Hiring Process for the New Normal

With the students attending Capgemini’s drive, the organisation brought a whole new approach to the hiring process. 

For the first time, a company chose to conduct a Personality Test (Behavioural Test) to assess students appearing in the selection process. This aided in gauging the inner strengths of candidates accurately. 

In lieu of Aptitude test, Capgemini held a gamification round for assessment of candidates. 

In the wake of COVID-19 crisis, as analysts predict a slowdown in the job market, students are having nightmares to receive bleak job offers.

However, keeping out of all such speculations, PCET-NUTAN have been rather thankful to Capgemini for a smooth Virtual and Automated selection process. This has been the best of experience for T&P Cell and students of PCET-NUTAN.

As per reports from Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, differential placements are the key to success. It has collaterally helped students secure coveted roles with a spurt in salary packages since the past year.
