Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) when writing job applications
A candidate may utilise the help of AI when writing a job application. The assessment of an application is made on its entirety and it is important to recognise that most times AI-generated content does not fully grasp the context and requirements of the job one applies for, thus producing inaccurate and misleading information. The supporting statement section of an application can especially lack real life examples of one’s achievements, success and challenges.
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.
