    Thanks for your suggestion!
    It’s a great point and something we’ve been actively exploring, as the increased use of AI presents a real challenge for many recruiters.

    At this stage, we haven’t found a tool that can reliably detect whether AI has been used in candidate responses. Most of the solutions we’ve reviewed tend to produce false positives, which could unfairly impact candidates if used within the system.

    It’s a complex issue to solve, but we’re continuing to monitor developments in the AI detection space closely and will reassess as the technology evolves.
