How to answer Oliver Wyman HireVue questions
Show you work as one
Oliver Wyman names leading with heart and working as one among the philosophies all its people share. When you say what you would bring, pick a skill and show it helping a team, not just you.
Answer the sustainability question with a view
Oliver Wyman says it wants its expertise to make “a significant, meaningful impact on society.” If you are asked about climate change and sustainability, give one concrete issue, what it means for businesses in an industry you know, and where you think the firm could help.
Make ambiguity answers specific
For the question on learning fast in ambiguous situations, name one skill, such as breaking a problem into parts or asking the right person early, then give a real moment you used it and what changed as a result.
Tips for recording your answers
- Prepare five short stories in advance. Candidates report five behavioural questions, so have one ready for each.
- Read the time limit on screen before each question and plan to finish a little early.
- Look at the lens rather than your own picture, with the camera at eye level and light in front of you.
- Set aside 45 minutes somewhere quiet, so the interview and set-up both fit without rushing.

Practise for the Oliver Wyman HireVue
Our AI interview practice uses the same one-way format: five questions on screen, 60 seconds to prepare, then up to a minute to answer on camera. Choose the finance focus and the questions lean towards finance, with feedback on relevance, clarity and structure and on what finance assessors look for, such as commercial awareness and integrity. You also get a model answer to your weakest question.
The questions are ours, not Oliver Wyman’s. Start answering before the 60 seconds are up to match a shorter thinking time, and since practice lets you re-record, do one session in a single take.
