Use of AI in applications

At the Students’ Union we recognise the potential benefits of AI during the recruitment process, however we encourage candidates to consider how they use AI to support them, should they choose to do so. The recruitment process is designed for both parties to assess whether the role is a good fit. It is therefore important that candidates are providing personalised applications based on their own knowledge, skills and experiences rather than copying and pasting answers generated by AI tools or relying on automated personalisation. AI tools can help to structure your thoughts, improve clarity in responses and may help you to do some generic preparation in terms of things like types of interview questions that you may be asked. Over-reliance on AI tools, however, may lead to additional challenges during the recruitment process or being hired into a role that you don’t enjoy and/or feel that you can’t perform your best in
