How to collaborate with AI during the Nitro hiring process
Here’s when and how to use AI when applying to and interviewing with Nitro. Where it makes sense, we invite you to use AI to show us more of you: your unique perspective, skills, and experiences.
Overview
| Scenario | Guidance | Example |
| Using AI to better articulate your experience (not as part of live / video interviews) |
|
Your draft: "I led our team’s migration to a new platform." Prompt: "Help me think of ways to quantify the impact of the platform migration that I led." |
| Using AI to create experiences |
|
Prompt: "Write a cover letter for a sales position at Nitro." Result: Generic content with experiences you haven’t actually had. |
| Using AI for interview prep |
|
Prompt: "What does Nitro value in candidates based on their public information?" Prompt: “Help me practice explaining my experience with salesforce.” |
| Using AI during take home tech assessments | Encouraged |
Within Engineering, we encourage the use of AI tools for take-home tasks. |
| Using AI during Live / Video interviews (ie. Reading from screen) | Not allowed |
We want to get to know you and how you reason, communicate, and work through challenges in real time. |
How to collaborate with AI during each stage
When applying (CV, cover letter, application responses)
Start by drafting your own CV or written answers, then feel free to use AI to tighten the language or improve clarity. We want to understand your genuine background and achievements, and AI can be a useful way to help you communicate them.
Interview preparation
AI can help you get ready for interviews. You can use it to research Nitro, practice explaining your experience, or prepare thoughtful questions for your interviewers.
Take-home tasks
Within Engineering, we encourage the use of AI tools for take-home tasks. Please let us know what tools you used and how you used them. What’s most important is that you’re able to clearly explain your decisions and thought process in the follow-up interviews without AI assistance.
For all other departments, unless we explicitly state otherwise, please complete take-home tasks without AI assistance. These tasks allow us to understand how you think and solve problems. If AI is permitted for a specific exercise, we will say so directly.
Live and Video Interviews
Live and Video interviews should be completed without AI tools or “screen reading”. This is your chance to show how you reason, communicate, and work through challenges in real time. If you need any interview accommodations, please let your recruiter know as early as possible so we can support you properly.
Why we have these guidelines
AI can be an incredibly useful partner, and we fully support candidates using it in ways that help them prepare and communicate clearly. These guidelines exist to make sure we get a genuine sense of you—your judgement, experience, and approach—throughout the process.
No matter which position you're applying for, we ask that you keep three key principles in mind.
