Generative AI tools are changing how we work. At 91导航, we build DevOps solutions for Salesforce, so it鈥檚 no surprise that we care about tools that make life easier and more efficient.
As a candidate applying for a role, you might be wondering: can I use AI to help me during the interview process?
The short answer is yes. We鈥檙e also interested in how you use it, what you find helpful, and where it falls short. Whether you鈥檙e applying to a role which involves you writing code, supporting customers, closing deals, or keeping our operations running smoothly, here鈥檚 our guidance on using AI effectively and transparently as you prepare for and participate in interviews.
The person behind the application
Many candidates use AI to help with applications and interview prep. Used well, it can help you feel more prepared and confident. But we鈥檙e hiring you, not a tool. We want to understand how you think, how you work with others, and how you approach real problems.
Using AI is completely your choice, and we don鈥檛 assess you differently just because you have or haven鈥檛 used it. We judge on the output and how you present it. That said, especially in technical interviews, we鈥檙e intentionally testing your understanding of the fundamentals and your direct technical ability. A working solution on its own doesn鈥檛 always show us how you got there or what you really understand.
For live technical interviews, we鈥檒l usually ask you not to use AI tools unless the interviewer explicitly says it鈥檚 OK. This helps us get a clearer picture of how you reason, your level of knowledge, and how you solve problems in the moment. Those fundamentals matter, especially when using AI on more complex tasks where human judgement is key.
If you鈥檝e used AI as part of your preparation, feel free to tell us what you used it for, how you used it, and what helped or didn鈥檛. We鈥檙e genuinely interested in how people adapt their day-to-day to new tools, and it often gives us useful insight into how you might approach work at 91导航.
Our aim is to strike a fair balance between giving you support and still getting to know the person behind the application.
Refine, don鈥檛 replace
At 91导航, one of our core values is 鈥�91导航, team, self鈥�, and a big part of that is trust and openness. AI can be really helpful for organising your thoughts or making your writing clearer, so feel free to use it for that.
Just make sure the examples and experiences you share are genuinely yours. If AI helped you reflect on or shape how you talk about them, that鈥檚 fine. We just want to understand your role in them, how you approached challenges, and what you learned along the way.
Helpful guidance on using AI
| 鉁� | 鉂� |
|---|---|
| You could use AI to research Salesforce DevOps topics and deepen your understanding of our customers鈥� challenges. | You shouldn鈥檛 copy and paste AI-generated text directly into your application or technical presentation - we want to hear your authentic voice. |
| You could use AI to help organise your past experiences into clear, structured stories - for example, using the STAR framework. | You shouldn鈥檛 rely on AI to create a 鈥減erfect鈥� persona that doesn鈥檛 reflect your real strengths - it won鈥檛 help you or us. |
| You could be open with us about how you鈥檝e used AI and what you found useful or limiting. | You shouldn鈥檛 read from an AI-generated script during a live interview, as it makes it harder for us to understand your own thinking in real time. |
| You could use AI to prepare, practise, and build confidence ahead of interviews. | You shouldn鈥檛 put confidential information from your current employer or from 91导航 into a public AI tool, as those tools may store inputs. |
A note on accessibility
We want everyone to have a fair shot at landing a role at 91导航. If you use AI tools as assistive technology, whether that鈥檚 for note-taking, speech-to-text, or processing information due to neurodiversity or a disability, please let your recruiter know. We鈥檙e more than happy to make reasonable adjustments so you can show your best self.
The bottom line
We鈥檙e looking forward to meeting you. We hire people who are curious, collaborative, and pragmatic. If AI helps you bring those qualities across more clearly, feel free to use it.
Just remember we鈥檙e trying to get to know the real person we might one day build great things with, and that still needs a human touch.
