AI Use in Our Recruitment Process
Hiring is human
At Carbon Limits, we believe hiring is fundamentally a human-to-human activity.It is not a perfectly automated system. It involves judgement, conversation, nuance, and trust. While technology can help reduce administrative burden, it has not yet proven that it can make reliable hiring decisions.For that reason, our recruitment process is designed to maximise personal connection and human judgement throughout.
Humans review every application
Every application we receive is reviewed by a person.
We do not use AI to:
- Screen applications
- Reject candidates automatically
- Produce shortlists
- Make yes/no decisions
All decisions in our hiring process are made by humans.
Our process is built around conversation
We optimise hiring for early and meaningful human contact.
That means:
- We speak with candidates by phone early in the process
- We prioritise real dialogue over automated workflows
- Every candidate has a personal point of contact to support them through the process
How we use AI
We use AI as a supportive tool - not a decision-maker.
AI may help us with tasks such as:
- Drafting job descriptions or interview questions
- Transcribing and summarising interview notes
- Organising information to reduce admin
Any AI-supported output is always reviewed by a human.
AI is never used to make hiring decisions.
Your use of AI as a candidate
We recognise that many candidates use AI tools in their job search.
For example, you may use AI to:
- Improve the clarity of your CV or cover letter
- Tailor applications to a role
- Prepare for interviews
This is completely normal.
However, anything you submit must reflect your own experience, skills, and work.
We are hiring you - not a tool.
Interviews and conversations must be your own
Our interviews and conversations are designed to understand your thinking, communication, and judgement.
When we speak with you, we expect your answers to be:
- Your own words
- Your own reasoning
- Your own understanding of your work
You should not use AI tools to generate answers in real time during interviews or live hiring conversations, unless we have explicitly stated otherwise.
The purpose of an interview is to evaluate the person — not an AI-assisted response.
Authenticity matters more than polish.
Our commitment
We will always run a process that is:
- Human-led
- Conversation-driven
- Grounded in real judgement
- Built around respect and personal contact
We believe the best hiring outcomes come from genuine connection, not automation.
