The skills we’re looking for

We’ve adopted a unique development framework called the PwC Professional. We use this framework throughout the recruitment process, and it plays a significant role in changing the way our people think, learn and develop together during their time with us. It will help you hone the skills you need to grow your career and give value to our clients.

There are five attributes within the PwC Professional framework:

  • Whole leadership: the ability to lead, to make a difference and deliver results
  • Genuine, trust-based relationships and the ability to build them
  • Business acumen: the ability to bring business knowledge and awareness
  • Technical capabilities that create value for clients and our firm
  • Global acumen, transcending boundaries of geography, politics, race and culture

The combination of these attributes helps our people bring their best self to work and inspire their colleagues and clients to do the same. We recommend you start your interview preparation well in advance and consider how you can demonstrate each of the five attributes.

One of the programs that sets us apart is our Enhanced Working Practices (EWP™), which help you develop yourself and others on the job every day. At the heart of our EWP™ approach is the concept of “Teach, don’t tell”—using open-ended questions that teach our people to think and learn. This is supported by the use of five on-the-job routines:

  • Shadowing
