Briefings
McKinsey & Company plans to introduce a 10-minute AI simulation interview for entry-level business analysts, designed to reflect 80% of real-world client scenarios. The simulation will not mimic an unhinged client and will not score candidates; human interviewers will assess performance. This initiative targets undergraduates seeking business-analyst roles in some offices, with testing currently underway.
