Acceptable use of AI for applicants

These guidelines explain how applicants may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools during the recruitment process at Renishaw, and the restrictions that apply.
Please note that Renishaw does not use AI for any decision-making about candidates.

Assistance with applications

Applicants may use AI tools to research guidance for CVs, cover letters and other application materials, and to support layout and formatting.

Applicants may also use traditional and AI-based spelling and grammar checks when preparing application materials.

However, all text submitted as part of an application must be written in the applicant's own original words and must reflect their own skills and experiences. Applicants must not include any AI-generated or AI-edited text when submitting applications.

Interviewing stage

Preparation for interviews
Applicants may use AI tools to research common interview questions to help them consider how their own skills and experiences apply in these contexts.

Applicants may also use AI tools to research publicly available information about Renishaw, such as general industry information or role descriptions. AI generated content can be inaccurate, incomplete or outdated. Therefore, we strongly recommend that candidates also conduct their own independent research to verify information to ensure its accuracy.

Interview tasks/presentations
Applicants may use AI tools for research and layout support when preparing interview tasks and presentations. However, all content must be written in the applicant's own original words and must reflect their own skills and experiences. Applicants must not include any AI-generated or AI-edited text.

During interviews and assessments
Applicants must not use AI tools for assistance during virtual or in-person interviews, or during any tasks or assessments completed as part of the recruitment process.

Reasonable adjustments
Renishaw welcomes requests for reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process where these are required due to a disability, health condition or similar need. This includes the use of AI-enabled assistive technologies such as speech-to-text, text-to-speech, captioning or screen-reader support.

Please contact recruitment@renishaw.com to request a reasonable adjustment.
