You already may have discussed why you want to work for PwC over their competitors. Although this question seems similar to the question, "Why PwC?" it serves a different purpose. This question asks why they should want to hire you. Similarly phrased questions such as these are designed to test your attention to detail and how quickly you can think on your feet. So, answer this question by researching their company and what their ideal candidate looks like, and determine how you fit the build.

HireVue advertises that they aim to provide "consistency to the interview process. Each candidate is asked the same questions and is reviewed using the same criteria. This, in turn, allows HireVue's customers to quickly hire better quality, more diverse applicants to fill their roles." So, when you are hoping to outperform the other candidates in the field, consider the advice PwC provides their candidates, "Smiling can help you to relax and, as a result, you will come across as more confident, friendly and assertive."

"I am a good fit for PwC because I am passionate about solving problems. I love puzzles, and I love a good challenge. I am not one of those people who stops at a roadblock or a brick wall. I am always convinced there is a way around that roadblock, or over it, or a secret door. I am also very results driven and never give up. Those I work with trust me when I say I will find a way or follow through on my commitments. I put my heart into everything I do and am ready to make my mark."
