At EDITED, we do not use AI to source, screen, or make decisions about candidates - every hiring decision is made by our team. We use Ashby, our applicant tracking system, which includes some automation for scheduling interviews and sending routine emails. We aim to be an equal opportunities employer and we are determined to ensure that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, age, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status, or race, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable.
