Purpose

This policy outlines the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools by individuals applying for roles at Wrigleys Solicitors LLP. It aims to ensure fairness, transparency, and integrity in the recruitment process.

This policy applies to all applicants, including those applying for work experience, training contracts, internships, and permanent roles.

Responsible Use of AI

Candidates may use AI tools to:

· Assist with grammar and spelling checks.

· Generate ideas or structure for personal statements or cover letters.

· Research company information or role expectations.

However, all content submitted must be:

· Authentically written by the applicant.

· Reviewed and edited to reflect the applicant’s own voice, experience, and intent.

· Factually accurate and free from misleading or fabricated information.

Irresponsible Use of AI

Candidates must not:

· Submit application materials (e.g. CVs, cover letters, written responses) that are entirely or predominantly generated by AI without meaningful human input.

· Use AI to fabricate qualifications, experiences, or achievements.

· Employ AI tools to impersonate another individual or misrepresent identity.

Transparency and Oversight

We encourage applicants to be transparent about the use of AI in their application process. If AI tools were used, candidates may be asked to describe how they were used during interviews.

Consequences of Misuse

Misuse of AI in applications may result in:

· Disqualification from the recruitment process.

· Withdrawal of offers if misuse is discovered post-offer.

· Reporting to relevant professional bodies in cases of serious misconduct.

Commitment to Fairness

Wrigleys is committed to fair and inclusive recruitment. We use AI responsibly in our internal processes and expect the same from our applicants. All applications are reviewed by human decision-makers, and AI is never used as the sole basis for hiring decisions.
