 Understanding GenAI's role in your recruiting journey

GenAI Guidelines for Candidates


GenAI tools, such as ChatGPT and Gemini, are transforming the way we work and live. As a future-focused leader in GenAI capabilities, we champion innovative technologies that drive productivity and unlock value.

As with all tech, GenAI is only valuable when utilized correctly. If you choose to utilize GenAI, it is vital to do so in a manner that represents your authentic self.

GenAI Do's and Do Not's

Do
Structure, articulate, and proof your thoughts, just like you would use a proofreading or grammar tool.
Do
Research how video interviews work and what we look for to refine your thoughts and how you communicate them.
Do
Practice! Identify question types and expected answers - you can explore ways to optimize your story's structure to make the right impact.
Do Not
Create false thoughts, experiences, or accomplishments you think we want to hear. We'll be able to decipher what's real and what's been scripted.
Do Not
Rely on GenAI as a substitute for personal input and authenticity. If you copy these into your assessment, the later interview stages will uncover inconsistencies.
Do Not
Use GenAI or other tools (e.g. Zoom's AI Companion) during a live case; reliance on scripted responses stops you from adapting to unexpected questions or scenarios.
