Our application process aims to understand each candidate's knowledge, skills and experience. We have found that candidates that use AI to generate their answers can lack specificity and fail to address key criteria outlined in the job description. It is really important to personalise your application to convey your individual skills, knowledge and experiences effectively and for us to understand why you are applying for this role with GHC. We discourage over reliance on AI‑generated applications as it will lessen your chances of success in securing an interview with us.
