Become a part of our team

At In The Pocket, you join a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, strategists and data specialists who care about the work as much as the people they work with. We work in small, autonomous teams that stay close to our clients and their users, and we give everyone the space to take ownership, speak up and grow. You’ll learn from colleagues across our studios, ship products that reach thousands or even millions of people and help shape what digital can do for leading organisations in Europe.

At In The Pocket, we use artificial intelligence to support and not replace human judgment. AI can assist our Talent Acquisition  processes by helping to pre-screen applications, analyze and summarize CV's and identify skills gaps.

Human oversight is always applied when inviting candidates to interviews. Our Talent Acquisition team reviews AI-supported insights and make the final decision to ensure relevance, fairness, and thoughtful consideration of each candidate’s unique profile.

Human managers always make the final hiring decisions to ensure fairness, context, and accountability.

AI is a tool to support people, not a substitute for human responsibility.
