Does BCG use AI to make hiring decisions?

For BCG, the current checked evidence establishes several scoped facts. BCG explicitly permits thoughtful candidate use of generative AI for application support, including brainstorming, structuring a resume or responses, finding sources and practising interview questions, while requiring the candidate's authentic voice, experience and judgement to remain their own. BCG states that applications are reviewed by experienced recruiters, AI is not used to make hiring decisions, and hiring decisions remain with people; BCG also describes limited employer-side AI support including job recommendations and drafting interview questions.
