🤖 We use AI to help us assess applications fairly and objectively. We’re totally fine with you using AI as a tool to help prepare too. That said, when we get to the interview and assessment stage, we’re really interested in hearing your unique perspective and real-world stories. That’s the stuff we can’t get from a bot or a prompt!
