AI is becoming part of most hiring processes, on both sides of the table. We'd rather be transparent about how we use it, and how we hope you'll use it too, than leave it as an unspoken question.

Where AI helps us behind the scenes

Our applicant tracking system (ATS) uses AI to help match incoming CVs with the skills required for a given role. It's a way to handle volume more efficiently and make sure relevant profiles don't get lost in the process.

We also record interviews if you, the candidate, allow it. It helps whoever is conducting the conversation focus fully on you instead of splitting their attention with note-taking. The recording is simply used to support accurate note-taking afterward.

What AI doesn't do

AI does not read your CV and decide whether you move forward. It does not evaluate your interview or make the final call. Every CV review and every hiring decision at Ofelia is made by a person, based on your actual profile and your conversations with our teams. AI helps us work more efficiently, it doesn't replace human judgment in decisions that affect your candidacy.

How we hope you'll use AI too

We're not against candidates using AI to prepare. In fact, we think it can genuinely help: practicing answers to common interview questions, organizing your thoughts before a conversation, or researching our company more deeply so you can ask sharper questions.

Used this way, AI is simply a preparation tool, similar to writing notes for yourself before an important conversation.

What we're less enthusiastic about is using AI to generate answers you then deliver as your own, whether in a written application or live in an interview. Beyond the fact that it's usually noticeable, it also defeats the purpose of the conversation. We're trying to get to know you, your reasoning, your way of expressing ideas, not a generic version of what a good answer might sound like.

If you use AI to prepare, use it to sharpen your own thinking, not to replace it. The goal is to walk into the interview more confident and better prepared, not to hand over the conversation to a tool.
