A responsible and transparent approach to AI in recruitment
At BCG, we use AI to support our teams in making more informed and efficient decisions, always with a human in the loop. We’ll create efficiencies for our recruiters and provide you with a more personalized experience, such as by drafting interview questions and suggesting relevant jobs.
Our AI TALENT promise: to use AI responsibly and always to support you through the process, not to replace the people behind it.
AI can help you prepare, but your voice is what matters most. We encourage you to use it as a tool to assist with your application, but not as a substitute for your personal insights, voice, or experiences.
How to use AI thoughtfully to support your thinking and show up authentically
Generative AI tools can be great partners as you prepare your application, helping you structure your resume, refine responses, or practice for interviews. We encourage you to use them to enhance your preparation, not replace your perspective, and to be transparent about how you have used them in your application. What matters most is your originality, experience, and ideas.
For interviews and skills assessments, please rely on your own responses unless we have said AI tools are allowed. We are interested in how you think and apply your experience; using external tools where not permitted may affect how we evaluate your application.
Keep these principles in mind to ensure your use of AI reflects the best of you: thoughtful, authentic, and true to who you are.
Smart ways to use GenAI in your application journey
Used wisely, GenAI can help you clarify your thinking, improve communication, and better understand what we look for, but the most important asset in your application is you. Here’s how to use AI in a way that boosts your confidence and keeps your application personal and genuine.
“Always review and personalize any outputs from GenAI based on your own experiences. We’re looking for genuine human insight, not machine-generated output. Let AI support, not replace, your authenticity.”

“The most compelling applications reflect the real person behind the words—and that’s who we want to meet.”
Ryan Bash
Talent Acquisition Director
“Using small doses of GenAI in your application reflects adaptability in a fast-moving world. But authenticity is non-negotiable. If you (or AI) fabricate anything, it will backfire. Be creative, but be real.”
