The follow are appropriate ways to support your application and interview prep using GenAI.
You can ask AI for guidance on how to format a CV or organize a cover letter, as long as the content is based on your real experience.
It's fine to use AI to review grammar, rephrase sentences, or make your writing more fluent and professional.

Learning more about the structure of psychometric or technical assessments and the types of questions you may encounter.
If you're preparing for a role-specific evaluation, AI can help explain relevant technologies or methods in simple terms.
The following are examples of AI misuse during the hiring process.
Do not use AI to create fictional achievements, roles, or skills. Your application must accurately reflect your real background.
Avoid pasting AI outputs directly into your application. These responses often sound vague or impersonal and may not truly represent you.
If your application is entirely written by AI, it’s difficult for us to get a sense of your voice, motivation, and fit—which are critical in the hiring process.
Using AI tools (e.g., live prompts or pre-written scripts) in video, phone, or recorded interviews is not allowed.
Any form of AI support during online assessments—psychometric, technical, or coding-related is considered cheating.
Submitting answers generated by AI, instead of expressing your own thoughts and solutions, undermines the purpose of the process.
