Note to potential applicants :

We do not use AI tools to filter out profiles. Whilst we are passionate believers in technology, as AI in recruitment becomes more widely implemented it’s inevitable some applicants will try to game the system. This might mean that better-quality applicants fall through the net while less qualified applicants rise to the top. That’s why, for now, we promise one of our team will review every resume sent to us provided the candidate meets the minimum requirements set out in the filter questions.
