Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) when writing job applications
A candidate may utilise the help of AI when writing job application.

We have added a disclaimer to our application process advising that the use of AI is monitored. GMMH reserves the right to follow up with a candidate at the interview on specific responses and those examples used in the supporting statement to explore it further.
