How We Use AI in Our Hiring Process Integrity guides how we do business, including how we hire. Here's exactly where AI fits into our process: AI Notetaking: We use an AI-powered meeting assistant during interviews to record, transcribe, and summarize our conversations. This means your interviewer can stay fully present with you instead of splitting attention between the conversation and taking notes. Global Team Alignment: We're a global team spread across time zones, so these summaries ensure your qualifications and highlights reach the hiring managers and stakeholders involved in hiring decisions. Humans Make the Call: AI may surface data points along the way, but it doesn't make decisions. Your potential is assessed by real people, and the final call on who moves forward always rests with the hiring team.
