    Refugee Hiring

    WELCOMING REFUGEES AT OLIVER WYMAN

    In 2015, we started our deliberate efforts to offer refugees either short-term job security or a whole new career pathway. Today, we continue to recruit qualified candidates from refugee populations around the world. The insights these individuals give us into the challenges refugees face is truly humbling and strengthens our resolve to support more people displaced from their homes due to war, persecution, and disaster.

    The life-changing circumstances in which refugees find themselves are incomprehensible to most of us. At Oliver Wyman, we provide dignity and opportunity through employment and hope this can contribute in some small way to rebuilding stability and wellbeing after such trauma; and through our social impact work we look to support relevant charities and organizations
    Nick Studer, CEO of Oliver Wyman

    WHAT WE DO

    When working to support refugees, we focus on three aims. To recruit qualified candidates from refugee populations; to support refugee’s entrepreneurial ambitions; and to champion refugee support programs among our clients.

    Recruit Refugees
    We recruit qualified candidates from refugee populations around the world.
    Enhance Entrepreneurship
    Our colleagues support and advise refugees starting and building their own businesses.
    Client Advocacy

    Please contact us with any ideas about how we can help, or to find out more about our refugee recruiting initiative, and follow us on social media at #OWPeopleForRefugees.

    We are watching thousands flee danger around the world. While situations and solutions are always complex, we want to do our part by recruiting qualified candidates from refugee populations
