How We Use AI in Hiring
At MSK, we use AI to support parts of the hiring process. AI helps us create a more efficient and consistent experience for you as the candidate, as well as our hiring teams. It does not replace people. People review applications, conduct interviews, and make hiring decisions. We believe our candidates should understand how AI is used, where people are involved, and what to expect when applying for a role at MSK.
How AI Supports Our Hiring Process
We use AI to support parts of the hiring process and improve your experience.
AI may help us:
Organize applications
Match skills and experience to job requirements
Schedule interviews more efficiently
Create a more consistent hiring experience
AI supports our teams, but people remain involved throughout the hiring process.

Learn more about MSK and the role
AI should help you—not replace you. We recommend that you avoid using AI to:
Write your entire application
Answer interview questions for you
Exaggerate your skills or experience
Create responses that don't sound like you
It is important to make sure everything you submit is accurate and reflects your own experience. The best applications are honest, authentic, and written in your own voice.
AI Frequently Asked Questions
Does AI decide who gets hired?
No. Hiring decisions are made by people.
Can I use AI to help with my resume?
Yes. AI can help improve spelling, grammar, and organization. Just make sure everything you submit is accurate and reflects your own experience.
Will I know when AI is used?
We are committed to being transparent about how technology is used during the hiring process.
Will AI decide if I get the job?
Never. Every decision about your application — moving forward, making an offer, or not — is made by a person on our team. Our AI tools assist; they do not decide. That's not just our policy. It's our promise.
How do I know this process is actually fair?
We audit our tools regularly to check for patterns that could disadvantage any group of candidates. We have humans reviewing every step. And we're committed to keeping this page - and our practices - current. If something changes, we'll tell you.
What happens to my personal information?
Your application data lives securely in Workday and is only shared with the AI tools described on this page - only for the purpose of your application at MSK. We do not sell it, share it beyond our hiring process, or use it for anything else.
Can I use AI to help write my cover letter?
Yes - as a starting point. AI can help you organize your thoughts or fix awkward sentences. But before you submit, reread it and ask: does this sound like me? Does it say something true and specific about why I want to work at MSK? If the answer is no, rewrite it. That's what we want to read
Will you reject my application if I used AI on my resume?
Using AI to improve the clarity of your resume is fine - that's just good editing. What matters is that the content is true, the experience is yours, and the voice still sounds like a person. We're looking for authenticity, not perfection.
Not sure if something is okay to use?
Ask us before you apply — not after. Our talent team would rather answer your question upfront than have you worry about it throughout the process. Reach out anytime.
