USING AI IN YOUR APPLICATION

We use AI in our work, and many of the legal teams we support do too. You are welcome to use AI tools to help refine how you present your experience, prepare your application, or get ready for interviews.

Where a client has specific guidelines regarding the use of AI in assessments, interviews, or other parts of the recruitment process, those guidelines will apply and we will communicate them to you in advance.
