Use of Artificial Intelligence in Hiring We use artificial intelligence‑enabled tools throughout our hiring process, from the moment a candidate applies through the offer stage, to support administrative tasks and the initial review of candidate materials. These tools help us organize, analyze, and surface relevant information efficiently, but they do not make hiring decisions. All candidate materials—from applications, resumes, assessments, and interview feedback—are reviewed and evaluated by people. All hiring decisions, including interview selection, advancement, and offers of employment, are made by humans. We use AI solely as a support tool to assist with early‑stage reviews and process efficiency. We do not use AI in ways that discriminate based on protected characteristics or ZIP codes.
