Using AI in your application

At BAE Systems, we recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) can be an important part of how people learn, work, and prepare for opportunities. We believe AI can be an invaluable tool when used responsibly and ethically.

We encourage candidates to use AI to support their application; not to replace their own skills, experiences, or personality.

AI can help you present a clear, confident and polished application. It is acceptable to use AI to:

  • Check spelling, grammar or formatting in your CV or cover letter
  • Improve the clarity and structure of your application documents
  • Generate practice questions to help you prepare for interviews or assessments
  • Translate content if English (or the advertised language) is not your first language
  • Research information about our company, industry or the role

 

Used in these ways, AI can help you feel confident while ensuring your application still reflects your authentic self and experience.
 

If you are unsure whether your use of AI is appropriate at any stage of the application or interview process, please visit the Connect with us page to get support. Please contact one of our recruitment teams, depending on your region. We’ll be happy to help and advise.

AI is a powerful tool, but it is not a substitute for your individuality, judgement or creativity. We want to meet you, not an algorithm.

By using AI responsibly, you help ensure a recruitment process that is fair, transparent and genuinely representative of your abilities.

To keep our recruitment process fair and transparent, we ask that candidates do not use AI to:

  • Write CVs, cover letters or application answers on your behalf that do not accurately reflect your skills and experience
  • Complete assessments or tests instead of using your own skills and judgement
  • Submit work samples that you cannot explain or replicate independently
  • Generate misleading or inaccurate information about your experience
  • Provide answers during interviews — interviews are your opportunity to showcase your thinking, creativity and personality in real time

 

Using AI in these ways can prevent you from demonstrating the real strengths you would bring to our teams.
