We’re aware that many candidates these days are using AI to help them with their job applications. Whilst we understand the use of this kind of technology to assist with applications, it’s worth noting that answers copied directly from AI tend to come across very generic and detract from the quality of applications (and are easy to spot). To give yourself the best chance of letting yourself shine in your application, we strongly recommend personalising your answers based on your own skills and experience. The use of AI during assessments throughout the recruitment process will result in your application being rejected.
