McKinsey is making job applicants spar with a fake AI client

McKinsey & Company is introducing a new interview component where entry-level candidates will engage in a 10-minute conversation with an AI-simulated client. The simulation aims to cover about 80% of typical scenarios McKinsey consultants face in their work and is not intended to mimic an irrational client. Human evaluators will assess the candidates' performance, not the AI. The tool will be tested this fall with undergraduates applying for business-analyst roles in some North American offices, potentially involving hundreds of applicants. This reflects a broader trend of companies incorporating AI avatars into hiring processes.
