AI Disclaimer

AI can be a useful tool - and we understand many candidates use it for support. That said, we're really interested in you, not an AI-generated version of you.

We want to hear your voice and understand your real experience. Applications or interview tasks that rely heavily on AI may not give us an accurate picture of who you are. Bring your authentic self to the process - that's who we're excited to meet.
