Right to Work in the UK

Use of AI

Here at Bidwells, we don’t use AI to screen your application. A member of our Talent team will review it personally, because we believe recruitment is about people, not algorithms.

As for your application, we know AI can be a great tool, but please don’t let it do all the talking. Use AI to help you prepare if you would like, but make sure your application is authentic and reflects you. We want to hear your voice, your experience and what makes you, you.

Recruitment agencies:

Bidwells only pay agency fees where we have a signed agreement in place and that agency has been contacted and directed by a member of our Talent Acquisition Team to work on a specific vacancy. We do not pay agency fees when speculative and unsolicited CVs are submitted to Bidwells or any of our employees other than via our Applicant Tracking System and through our recruitment process. If this is not adhered to, agency fees will not be paid. Submission of any unsolicited CVs or proposals to Bidwells will be deemed evidence of full and unlimited acceptance of this approach.
