AI Policy for Job Candidates

At Sitetracker, we believe AI is becoming an increasingly important part of how modern teams operate, solve problems, and scale impact. As AI capabilities continue to evolve, including tools like our own Scout AI and other intelligent technologies, we’re interested in candidates who are thoughtful about how they leverage AI to enhance productivity, learning, communication, and execution.

We encourage candidates to use AI tools appropriately throughout parts of the interview process to help showcase their experience, preparation, and communication style, while ensuring the work, thinking, and perspective remain authentically their own.

How AI Can Be Used Throughout the Interview Process

Applying (Resume + Application Questions)

We encourage you to create the initial content yourself and then leverage AI tools to help refine, structure, or strengthen your messaging. We want to understand your real experiences, accomplishments, and career trajectory — AI should enhance how you communicate them, not replace them.

Example Prompt:
“Review my resume alongside this job description and identify which experiences and accomplishments best align with the role requirements.”

Preparing for Interviews

AI can be a valuable tool to help you research Sitetracker, better understand our business and customers, practice interview responses, and prepare thoughtful questions for the team.

Example Prompt:
“Help me prepare for an interview at Sitetracker. What should I know about the company, customers, industry challenges, and the skills likely required for this role?”

During our Exercise Phase

Unless otherwise communicated, we generally expect exercises and assessments to reflect your own thinking and abilities. If AI usage is permitted for a particular exercise, we will clearly communicate expectations and boundaries ahead of time.

During Live Interviews

Live interviews are intended to focus on you — your communication style, problem-solving approach, collaboration skills, and how you think through challenges in real time. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, AI assistance should not be used during live interview conversations.

We value authenticity, curiosity, adaptability, and strong problem-solving. AI can be a powerful tool, but ultimately, we’re excited to get to know the person behind the experience — your perspective, mindset, and potential impact at Sitetracker.

During Technical Interviews

In most of our technical/coding exercises, we expect candidates to show that they can incorporate AI into their process and demonstrate how and when they use AI.  In all practical work examples, we will provide you explicit instructions on what is expected to be used and what is not permitted.
