McKinsey Adds a 10 Minute Chat Task With an AI Virtual Client to Entry-Level Job Interviews (theverge.com)

Writing language: KoreanRead in the original language

- Some entry-level applicants must talk with an AI-generated virtual client for 10 minutes during the interview process. The task checks how applicants respond to situations that could realistically arise on the job. - According to WSJ, the simulation aims to reflect the 80% of situations consultants encounter in daily work, and the client was not made to act unreasonably. - The AI does not score applicants. Human interviewers directly watch on site how applicants handle the virtual situation. - The test is being given this fall to undergraduates applying for business analyst roles at some North American offices, and WSJ reports that hundreds of people can use it. The original article adds that other companies are also building AI avatar interview tools.

O: When hiring managers redesign the entry-level interview process, this approach is worth referencing when deciding whether to include a 10-minute AI customer conversation task for applicants to business analysis roles. X: The target figure for 80% scenario reflection comes from an explanation conveyed through a WSJ report and has not been independently verified, so it should be checked directly before any actual adoption.
