Use of AI In Our Recruiting Process
We thoughtfully incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) tools to enhance the recruiting experience while preserving fairness, transparency, and human judgment.
How We Use AI
Applicant Review Support: AI may assist recruiters in organizing and highlighting relevant experience based on role requirements.
What This Means for You
- A hiring decision is made by people-not AI
- AI is used to support efficiency, not replace human judgment
- We are committed to minimizing bias and regularly reviewing our processes
Your Use of AI as a Candidate
We recognize that candidates may use AI tools (e.g., for resume drafting or interview preparation). We encourage:
- Using AI to prepare, practice, and refine your responses
- Ensuring your responses during interviews reflect your own knowledge and experience
- Being transparent if asked about your use of AI in your preparation
Our goal is to create a fair and authentic evaluation process for everyone.
What To Expect In The Interview Process
While processes may vary by role, you can typically expect:
- Initial Screening - A conversation with a recruiter
- Hiring Manager Interview - Discussion of your experience and fit
- Technical/functional Interview(s) - Role-specific assessments
- Final Interview(s) - Discussion with team members or leadership (as applicable)
We strive to keep you informed at each stage and provide timely updates.
