McKinsey tests AI client simulations in entry-level interviews
McKinsey is piloting a new interview step where some entry-level candidates will converse with an AI simulation of a client for 10 minutes. The Wall Street Journal reports the AI aims to mimic 80% of scenarios consultants face daily. No details on how many roles or locations this applies to were provided, nor whether it replaces existing interview stages.
Key points
- McKinsey plans 10-minute AI client conversations for some entry-level interviews
- AI simulation covers 80% of daily consultant scenarios, per Wall Street Journal
- No confirmation from McKinsey on rollout or candidate impact
The move reflects growing use of AI in hiring but raises questions about fairness and candidate preparation. McKinsey did not confirm the report or explain how the AI’s responses are evaluated. The firm has not disclosed whether this will become standard or remain experimental.
