As an AI-forward organization, we recognize that AI tools are transforming how we all work, create, and solve problems.We see AI as a force multiplier, a tool that enhances human intellect and creativity, not a replacement for it. At the same time, we hire people for their unique problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and ability to move ideas into action. Our interview process is designed to understand those core abilities.Being fluent in AI has become essential to excelling in our roles. You will see that reflected in our interview questions as we not only screen for individual skills and thought processes, but also AI fluency and how you use it in your job. This philosophy guides us in balancing these two goals, ensuring a fair and transparent process for everyone.How to Approach AI in Your InterviewWe want to be clear about our expectations so you can be successful!When AI is EncouragedIn specific, designated parts of the interview, we will invite you to use AI tools. This is your opportunity to show us how you work with them. For example, we might ask you to complete an assignment at home or virtually, where AI assistance is permitted, or dedicate a section of a live technical screen where we'll explicitly ask you to use an AI tool to help you. What we’re looking for: In these scenarios, we are assessing your ability to craft effective prompts, critically evaluate the AI’s suggestions, and integrate its output into a correct and well-reasoned solution.When AI is ProhibitedFor any live interview question, you should assume AI assistance is not permitted unless we explicitly tell you otherwise. This is our chance to assess how you approach problem-solving through your own critical thinking.How Because Uses AI in RecruitingWe use AI-assisted tools and features in our hiring process to effectively communicate, source, screen, rediscover talent, and manage recruiting operations. AI is not used to make hiring decisions.If you require accommodations during the job application process, please email recruiting@becausemarket.com.
