Only The Best
Recruiting is Capital One’s
most important business.
We don’t just say it, we live it.
The complexity of our strategy
and unending innovation demand
world-class talent—intellectual
and executional superstars. We
use our information-based strategy
to find the best candidates and
measure their performance
through comprehensive tests and
interviews. The standards are
extraordinarily high. Our senior
management is extensively
involved throughout the recruit-
ing process. After hiring the very
best of the best, we work hard to
develop them through training
programs, exposure to manage-
ment, coaching, job rotation and
early opportunities for unusually
broad responsibility. We view our
career development efforts as criti-
cal in building the competencies
required by Capital One’s informa-
tion-based strategy. In 1996, we
promoted 1,296 of our associates,
a testament to the effectiveness
of our investment in recruiting,
our commitment to associate
development, and the vitality
of career growth opportunities
at Capital One.
