Please describe the interview / hiring process.
The Oppenheimer Sales and Trading hiring process typically begins with an online application and resume screen, where they look for interest in markets, basic technical exposure, and strong communication skills. Candidates are then invited to complete a HireVue or video interview that includes a mix of behavioral questions, a market or stock pitch question, and possibly a light technical or math question, with a focus on how clearly and confidently you communicate. Successful candidates move to a final round consisting of one to three interviews with salespeople, traders, or senior professionals, where they are tested on market knowledge, a stock pitch, quick thinking, and overall fit, with a strong emphasis on personality and ability to discuss markets naturally. Offers are typically made shortly after the final round, and because class sizes are small, the process is competitive and heavily focused on fit and genuine interest in markets.
