We believe in transparency throughout our process — including how we approach AI.

We recognize that AI tools can enhance productivity and support high-quality work. Candidates are welcome to use AI tools for assistance when preparing application materials and completing take-home assignments. If AI use is not permitted for a specific assessment, we will indicate that clearly in the instructions. During live interviews, we ask that candidates not use AI tools to generate or supply real-time answers. This includes reading from AI-generated responses or prompts during conversational, behavioral, or technical discussions. These conversations are designed to understand your individual thinking process, problem-solving approach, and ability to communicate your ideas.

We also use AI tools to support our recruiting processes; hiring decisions are made by our team, not AI

 

Reasonable Accommodations
We are committed to providing equal opportunity to all candidates. If you require the use of an AI-based tool or any other assistive technology as a reasonable accommodation for a disability or medical condition, please notify us prior to your interview. We will engage in an interactive process to determine what arrangements are appropriate for your situation. Accommodation requests are handled individually and in accordance with applicable law.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
