For example, they can check for spelling or grammar errors, or help you to decide what to include. But they shouldn't replace your own responses or be used to write the application for you. Relying too much on AI can negatively impact your chances of success, because automatically generated answers: • might not be specific or relevant enough to address the criteria in the recruitment profile, • often seem generic and not personalised enough – an AI response won't show your unique voice and perspective, • could misrepresent information about you, such as your qualifications, skills and experience We monitor applications for any behaviour that could create an unfair advantage, and we check all references carefully. You are likely to be tested on your experience at interview, so be honest and make sure all the information in your application is correct.
