Brkthru Hiring and AI Usage
Brkthru welcomes candidates to use AI tools for proofreading or strengthening their resume, but submitting AI-generated cover letters, resumes, or work samples that do not accurately represent a candidate’s skills will be considered a red flag. The use of AI-powered 'whispering bots' or real-time answer-generation apps during live interviews is strictly prohibited.
Our ATS does not leverage AI resume screening to filter candidates. All applications are reviewed by a human. Brkthru may use artificial intelligence (AI) and automated tools to assist in the hiring process, however, all hiring decisions are made by people.
