At Wayflyer, we value human connection and innovation in our hiring process. As an ambitious, cross-functional team operating across many locations, we're excited about the potential of AI to support candidates while ensuring we get to know the real you.

When and how to use AI

Resume, Cover Letter, Application Questions

  • Create your initial draft yourself to reflect your true experience.
  • Use AI (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to refine and polish your submission.
  • Example prompt: "Review my resume and the Talent Acquisition Coordinator JD — suggest how to highlight my scheduling skills."
  • We won't assess whether you used AI, but we want to see your real background shine through.

Preparation Stage

  • Leverage AI to research Wayflyer and practice responses.
  • Use AI to simulate interview scenarios or refine your STAR-method answers (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for questions on organisation or problem-solving.
  • Example: Ask AI to generate practice questions based on our JD's focus on specific skills and experience required.

During Live Interviews

  • This is your moment to shine: please avoid using AI to guide conversation live (e.g., no real-time prompts during video calls with your recruiter or interviewer). This prevents us from assessing your genuine skills. Having notes or a prepared outline is fine.
  • If the interview involves a live exercise, such as a coding challenge or prototyping session, we'd expect you to use AI as you would on the job, but be able to explain your reasoning and the output.
  • If you need special accommodations, let us know early via your recruiter or the talent coordinator, and we'll adjust accordingly.

Take-Home Assessments or Case Studies

  • We expect you to build on AI suggestions with your unique perspective, not replace that perspective with generated answers.
  • You're accountable for the work you bring to us. Your submission must reflect your own critical thinking and individual insights and you should be proud of the output.
  • Good uses here include initial ideation, suggesting structure, prototyping solutions, or writing code based on your designs.

Why this matters

AI should support, not replace, that.

  • Using AI effectively can boost your confidence and highlight your unique perspective, especially in our ambitious, fast-paced environment.
  • Over-reliance on AI (e.g., submitting generated answers) may hide your strengths, risking a role mismatch or missing out on standing out against other candidates.
  • Our goal is to build a team where your authentic contributions drive our mission forward. AI should support, not replace, that.

Our philosophy

AI enhances preparation

We believe AI can enhance preparation and confidence, aligning with our mission to empower great talent.

Our process is human-driven

Our process is human-driven, with decisions made by our Talent Acquisition team and hiring teams, focusing on your skills and fit with our culture (sound people, excellent operators, ambitious overachievers).

Transparency is key

The interview process can be a great opportunity to show off how you use AI in your work, but it should highlight you, rather than hide your impact. Transparency is key: feel free to ask your recruiter if you're unsure about AI use at any stage.
