AI Client Simulation

Consulting firm McKinsey & Company is asking some entry-level candidates to participate in a 10-minute conversation with an AI simulation of a client as part of its interview process.

McKinsey Tests AI Client Interviews

Some entry-level McKinsey candidates will undergo a 10-minute conversation with a simulated client as an evaluation measure during recruitment.

Human Evaluators

The AI simulation aims to reflect common scenarios McKinsey consultants encounter in their day-to-day work. The system is not designed to act aggressively or unpredictably. The AI itself does not score the candidates; human evaluators observe the interaction to assess how well applicants handle the simulated situations.

The evaluation tool is undergoing testing for undergraduate applicants seeking business-analyst positions in select North American offices.
