Our approach to AI in interviews

At Zopa, AI isn't something we're testing out it's part of how we work every day. As a proud partner of Jobs 2030, we're committed to building AI fluency across our workforce, and we expect Zopians to use AI as part of how they do their jobs. 

Because of that, we want to be transparent about how we think about AI use during our hiring process. 

Behavioural and competency-based interviews: please don't use AI. These conversations are designed to understand you  your experiences, your judgment, and how you've approached real situations. An AI-generated answer can't tell us that. What it can do is get in the way of us finding out whether we're the right fit for each other. 

Technical interviews: it depends on the role. Some technical stages actively welcome AI use, others don't. Your Talent Partner will let you know what's expected at each stage. Where AI is part of the assessment, we'll be interested not just in the outcome, but in how you used it the tools you chose, your reasoning, and the decisions you made along the way.
