AI & Interviews at BambooHR: What You Should Know
At BambooHR, we love people. We also love tools that set people free to do great work. But we're hiring you—not your favorite chatbot.
Show us the real human you
We know AI is part of how work gets done today. You might use it to prepare for interviews, tighten up your resume, or even research our company. But during your interviews, we want to experience the real you—your ideas, experience, and way of thinking.
No matter how smart AI gets, it can't replicate your unique perspective, personality, or potential.
How we view AI in BambooHR hiring
We believe:
- AI can be a helpful tool, but it’s never a substitute for human connection.
- Every person brings something unique to the table.
- Interviews are a chance to learn about you, not the tech you’re using behind the scenes.
Here’s what we encourage
✅ Use AI to prepare
Want help writing your resume or learning about our culture? Great! AI can help you feel more confident and ready.
Pro tip: Run your resume by a trusted human friend or two as well.
✅ Do your research
Feel free to ask your favorite chatbot to help you brainstorm questions. Just make sure you've also explored our career page, blog, social media pages, and Glassdoor reviews to round out your understanding of BambooHR.
Pro tip: Look up your interviewer on LinkedIn.
Here's what we don't allow
🚫 Don't use a chatbot during interviews
Whether we’re chatting over Zoom or walking through your background, this is your time to shine. We want your own words, stories, and ideas. Remember, interviews are a two-way conversation, and the best conversations are ones where each party is fully engaged.
🚫 Don't use AI for any interview skills assessments or projects unless instructed
Feel free to use AI for brainstorming and research, but just make sure the final product is your own. If a specific test requires you to use AI, we'll be sure to include those instructions.
How we use AI in hiring
At BambooHR, we believe in leveraging cutting-edge technology to empower people and transform HR. We're actively integrating AI into our solutions and workflows to enhance efficiency and drive innovation.
To that end, we're looking to our existing team members and future hires to share this forward-thinking mindset: individuals who are curious about AI's potential, eager to learn and adapt, and ready to explore how intelligent tools can elevate their work along with BambooHR's impact on setting people free to do great work.
We use AI to support and enhance our recruiting efforts. Tools may help us:
- Write clearer job descriptions
- Streamline note-taking and scheduling
- Draft initial outreach messages
- Improve candidate experience
- Process and analyze application, screening, & interview data
Every hiring decision is made by humans. We do not use AI to replace judgement, connection, or care.
TL;DR
AI is a useful tool to set you up for success in interviews, but it can’t replace the actual you in the interview process. When it comes to interviews at BambooHR:
Be yourself
