Guidelines for using AI in our interviewing process
As your prospective employer, Stok wants to get to know the authentic, not the artificial, you. We believe we can unlock true human potential when we add the right person to the right team at the right time. This approach serves the candidate and the team, leading to synergistic outcomes. To get this right, we need to be able to get to know you – your intelligence, your skills, and your experience. We look to uncover these things, how you personally align with our company values, as well as your ability to think and perform independently in real-time.
Stok continues to learn about and experiment with AI, however, we know that many tasks cannot be replaced by AI. Here is where we expect you to use AI and where we do not:
- Resume and cover letter: AI assistance is acceptable; however, we expect these materials to represent your true qualifications and skills accurately
- Phone and Video Interviews: AI assistance is not acceptable; we ask that you engage in our interviews without reading from or referencing AI-generated answers
- Take-home assignments: AI assistance is not acceptable; any submissions should reflect your original conclusions and perspectives
If we detect that you are using AI without permission or advance disclosure, your candidacy may be disqualified.
Knowing that the way we work with AI may change over time, we will regularly check back on our approach to AI in our hiring process to stay values-aligned, in compliance with current legislation, and mitigate potential biases in our processes.
