"For decades, consulting firms like McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and Bain & Company have relied on case interviews, during which prospective candidates work through simulated client problems with higher-ups at the firm. Now, as consulting firms race to both adopt AI and advise their clients on how to do the same - implementing the technology into everything from drafting reports to synthesizing data - the technology has become a new hurdle in the vaunted interview process at McKinsey, BCG, and others."
"Lilli is used within the firm to synthesize itsproprietary research, which spans 100 years and over 100,000 documents and interviews. McKinsey Senior Partner Delphine Zurkiya told Business Insider thatover 70% of the firm's 45,000 employees now use the tool, and that those who use it do so about 17 times a week. Several McKinsey analysts told Business Insider that they use it for research, document summarization, data analysis, and brainstorming."
Top consulting firms are rapidly integrating AI into internal operations and client services, shifting hiring toward demonstrable AI skills. Traditional case interviews are evolving as firms move from pure advisory work to building, implementing, and maintaining tools for clients. Candidates are now evaluated on their ability to understand AI nuances and leverage the technology to increase speed and quality of work. McKinsey has piloted an internal chatbot, Lilli, which synthesizes over a century of proprietary research across more than 100,000 documents and interviews. Around 70% of the firm's 45,000 employees use Lilli for research, summarization, data analysis, and brainstorming.
