Join Our CausE
In a nutshell, Caprae Capital looks for several characteristics. We pride ourselves on bringing in not just successful teammates but individuals who can and have the desire to change the world someday. As we have refined our interview process over time, I have simplified what we look for in a candidate - character, courage, creativity… and if applicable, crazy. By crazy, we mean this in a good way - a burning desire and the mental and physical stamina to take the time to master one’s craft and become world-class in what they do.
While many programs measure a candidate’s potential by school pedigree, SAT/ACT scores, GPA, financial modeling skills, prior experience, etc. I do believe simplifying the recruiting process to such metrics and relying on data points not generated on your own is not only intellectually lazy but also dangerous for any organization aspiring to become world-class.
We look for independent thinkers, those who are never afraid to question, and avoid those who look at a job as a means to an end, a vehicle for a fat payday, or a nice trophy to stamp on their resume. Therefore, every step of our interview process is quite intentional and is aimed to seek out the right candidates that can thrive in our system.
Of course, not everyone is able to maximize his or her potential here, but for the ones that have great upside, I try to part the red sea as much as I can. At the end of the day, when comparing talent vs experience, I liken this to comparing horsepower vs mileage. At Caprae Capital we love horsepower. Hence, several of our colleagues, despite their lack of experience, have had outsized responsibilities.
With that said, I wish you the best of luck during the interview process and appreciate all the time you will be spending to get to know us. I hope you will join us on this journey, and look forward to building a world-class company together.
Thanks,
Kevin
