At BCG, we use AI to enhance, not replace, the human aspects of hiring. AI helps us deliver a more efficient, personalized experience, while ensuring all decisions are made by people. Our approach is guided by our AI Talent Promise, which emphasizes transparency, accountability, and ethical use in every step of the process.
Here are some of the ways we use AI tools in our recruitment process:
Any AI tools we use are carefully vetted and used responsibly, to ensure they meet our high standards for security, and transparency. Decisions will always made by people, with empathy and judgment at the center of every conversation.

No. AI is never used to make hiring decisions at BCG. All decisions are made by experienced BCG recruiters and hiring managers. Our Talent Promise ensures that AI is only used to support people, never to replace them. Tools assist with insights and efficiency, but decisions are always human-led.
BCG uses approved tools designed to protect your data from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure. We treat candidate data as confidential. For more information on how we use your personal data, please review our Recruitment Privacy Policy.
Yes. Transparency is central to our Talent Promise. You can ask your recruiter for details about how AI may have supported the review of your application. We commit to being open about when and how AI tools were used, whether in matching your resume to a potential role, preparing interview content, or identifying relevant opportunities. You can also review our Recruitment Privacy Policy.
Yes. When used thoughtfully, AI can be a helpful tool to support your preparation. It’s fine to use AI to brainstorm ideas, check for clarity, or practice interview questions. But remember, your application should reflect your authentic voice, experiences, and perspective. We want to get to know you, not the output of a tool.
Avoid relying on AI to write your entire application or to generate content that doesn’t reflect your real experiences, skills, or voice. Overuse of AI can make your application feel impersonal or generic, and may even lead to inconsistencies during interviews. Remember, we’re looking for your unique perspective and potential. Use AI to support your thinking, not to replace it. This reflects our belief that AI should elevate, not replace, your personal voice, just as our tools are designed to support, not replace, human decisions.
