Full reliance on AI to write application can hinder chances of success at early stage of selection process as it cannot solely showcase how one’s knowledge, experience and skills meet job requirements. It is important that to give personal touch to supporting statement and strike the balance to avoid it sounding robotic.

We have added a disclaimer to our application process advising that the use of AI is monitored and if applicants have used it then they are required to declare this.
