AI Usage Policy for Job Applicants

Our Commitment to Authenticity and Innovation

At ICON plc, we are committed to advancing clinical research through innovation and integrity. We recognise that Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools can assist candidates in the application process. However, we value authentic representations of each applicant's skills and experiences.

Acceptable Uses of AI

We understand that AI can be a valuable tool when used appropriately. Acceptable uses include:

Utilising AI to brainstorm, structure, or refine ideas for application responses.

Employing AI to gather information about ICON, our values, and the role applied for, to better tailor application materials.

Using AI to check grammar, spelling, and clarity in written responses.

Leveraging AI to simulate interview questions and practice responses.

Unacceptable Uses of AI

To maintain the integrity of our recruitment process, the following uses of AI are prohibited:

Submitting AI-generated content that inaccurately portrays one's skills, experiences, or qualifications.

Copying and pasting AI-generated answers into application materials without personal modification or reflection.

Using AI to complete assessments designed to evaluate personal attributes, such as situational judgment tests.

Inputting sensitive or proprietary information about ICON plc into AI platforms.

Relying on AI tools during live interviews to generate or suggest responses in real-time.

Implications of Misuse

Misuse of AI in violation of this Policy may lead to:

• Application Review: Additional scrutiny of your application materials for authenticity. 
• Interview Evaluation: Assessment of discrepancies between application content and interview responses.  
• Disqualification: Removal from the recruitment process if intentional misrepresentation is identified. 

We value the unique perspectives and experiences each candidate brings. While AI can be a helpful tool, it should not replace your personal voice in the application process. Authentic applications allow us to better understand your fit for the role and our organisation.
