At Attest, AI isn't something we're cautious about, it's part of how we work every day. We build AI-powered products, our team uses AI tools to do better work, and we think the people who know how to collaborate with AI well are genuinely more effective. So we're not here to tell you to avoid it.

What we do care about is meeting you. The real you, how you think, what you've done, what you care about. AI is a useful tool. It's not a substitute for your experience or your perspective, and it can't tell us whether you're the right fit for Attest. Only you can do that.

Here's our honest guidance on how to use AI well throughout our process.

✓ Use AI to research and prepare
✓ Use AI to refine and improve your own writing
✓ Use AI to practise and structure your thinking

✕ Don't use AI to generate examples or experiences you haven't had
✕ Don't use AI to complete assessments without adding your own perspective
✕ Don't use AI to answer questions live in an interview

We want to be transparent. We use AI to help write job descriptions, prepare interview questions, take notes, and draft candidate communications.

AI does not make hiring decisions at Attest, every decision is made by a person. We also don't use any information you share with us to train AI models.

Use AI to refine, not replace. If you want to use an AI tool to tighten up your writing, improve structure, or check your spelling — go for it. What we ask is that the experiences, examples and ideas are genuinely yours. We're not reading your application to see how well AI can write. We're reading it to understand who you are.

A good test: if you were asked about something in your application during an interview, would you be able to speak to it authentically? If yes, you're using AI well. If not, it's worth going back to your own words.

This is where AI can be genuinely useful. Use it to research Attest, get familiar with the kind of questions you might face, or help structure your thinking around your own experiences. If you want to practise talking through your answers, AI can be a useful sparring partner.

Here are some ways to make the most of it:

• Paste the job description into an AI tool and ask it to identify the key skills and behaviours being looked for.

• Think about your own experiences that speak to those areas.

• Ask AI to help you prepare for likely questions based on the role, or to summarise publicly available information about Attest, our product, and the market we're in.

• You can also ask it to help you frame a specific experience more clearly, just make sure the content is yours.

This one is straightforward: please don't use AI during live interviews. We're not asking trick questions or trying to catch you out, we genuinely want to have a real conversation. Having notes to hand is absolutely fine but using an AI tool to generate answers in real time breaks the connection.

We expect you to use AI tools if they help you do your best work, that's how we work at Attest, and we'd find it odd if you didn't consider it. However, what we're interested in is your judgment, not just the output.

During your interview, we'll ask you about it: where you used AI, why that felt like the right call, and whether you did anything differently as a result.

If you are unsure if or how you can use AI in a Skills Assessment or take home tasks, just ask.

If you use an AI tool as part of a reasonable adjustment, for example, to help with note-taking or processing information during a call, please let your recruiter know ahead of time so we can ensure that everything is set up in a way that works for you.

If you're unsure about anything, just ask. You can reach us at talent@askattest.com. All conversations are treated in confidence and won't affect how we assess your application.
