FAQ - AI Use During the Interview Process
1. Can I use ChatGPT or other AI tools to help write my resume or cover letter?
Yes — using AI to proofread, summarize, or refine your writing is perfectly acceptable. We encourage tools that help you express yourself clearly — as long as the ideas and content are your own.
2. Can I use AI to generate answers to case studies or written assignments?
No — we want to understand your own thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Submitting work that is mostly or entirely generated by AI without attribution is a violation of our policy.
3. What about practicing for interviews with an AI coach?
Yes — using AI to practice or prepare for interviews is fine.
However, using AI tools in real time during your interview (e.g., generating answers while you’re talking) is not allowed.
4. Why does ID.me collect this information?
- ID.me collects this information to facilitate the relationship between the organization and its employees. This information may be used to:
- provide benefits and compensation
- monitor performance
- report information for various regulatory purposes
- prevent fraud, waste, and abuse
- Perform various business activities
5. Should I tell you if I used AI to help with my application?
Yes, please! If AI played a role in drafting any part of your materials (cover letter, resume, written responses), you can briefly mention this in your application or when speaking with your recruiter. We value transparency — it won’t negatively impact your candidacy.
6. What happens if I violate the AI policy?
Using AI inappropriately during the hiring process — such as submitting fully AI-generated work as your own or relying on AI to answer interview questions live — may result in removal from the hiring process.
7. Why does ID.me care about this?
We use AI tools in our work too! But the interview process is about getting to know you — your ideas, your experience, and your voice. That’s how we build a team we can trust and grow with.
