Oliver Wyman

Hi there,

it's not a requirement, but, especially in the currently tight recruiting environment, applying with a good referral will give you a strong edge and better odds in passing the screening.

Feel free to share about your profile via DM, if you'd like more specific advice on how to approach your application.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Andi

Hi there,

Q: Is a referral necessary to apply to Oliver Wyman - Middle East?

Referrals are not formally required for a consulting application, however they can substantially increase your chances to be invited for interviews. If you have the option, it is a good idea to leverage one.

Hello there,

I'm glad to inform you that a referral is not a mandatory requirement for submitting an application. You can apply directly through our official website or any relevant job postings without the need for a referral.

However, I would like to emphasize that while a referral is not required, it is highly recommended. Having a referral from someone within the company or from a trusted professional in our network can add value to your application. It provides an additional layer of credibility and may help your profile stand out among the numerous applications received.

Hope this is helpful!

Best,

Hello,

It's not necessary, but it greatly improves your chances of getting an interview. Unless you are coming from a target school, I highly recommend putting in the time to network and obtain a referral. 

Hi!

Referrals are never a must. 

But they do statistically increase your chances of getting an offer. 

So do try and get one, especially for firms and regions that are competitive.
