Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Applications
As AI tools become more accessible, applicants may use AI to help them when completing application forms, including supporting statements and work experience. Hiring managers are also aware that some applicants, for example those who are neurodiverse, may use AI tools as a form of reasonable adjustment to help articulate their experiences more clearly.
Applicants may use AI tools for legitimate support, such as grammar correction, formatting, or improving clarity only. These uses are generally acceptable.
Hiring managers will apply consistent evaluation criteria during shortlisting to minimise bias and ensure fairness when AI-generated content is suspected. For example, avoid penalising applicants for poor grammar or spelling— focus instead on their skills, experience and potential they could bring to the post.
Applications who are suspected of using AI in their application to fabricate experience, qualifications or competencies could constitute misrepresentation and this is not appropriate or acceptable and may result in an application being rejected during the recruitment process.
