McKinsey tweaks entry-level interview process, adds a new ’10-minute chat with AI’ round

 McKinsey has added an AI interview round to its hiring process for some entry-level business analyst candidates in North America. Applicants will face a 10-minute conversation with an AI avatar playing a client, such as a city mayor, while partners assess how they listen and respond. The AI won’t score candidates, and McKinsey says the new tool makes recruiting fairer and less about rehearsed answers. McKinsey has added an AI interview round to its hiring process for some entry-level business analyst candidates in North America.
