Can I use AI to apply?

We understand candidates are likely to use AI to support with the application process; however over-relying on AI can make your application feel impersonal and a duplication of many other applications we receive. We are keen to understand the real you, your passion, values and skills that are unique to you shine through. By using AI as a support tool rather than a substitute for your own voice, you’ll create a more compelling and genuine application. We look forward to getting to know the real you!
