We want you to have the best opportunity to show us your natural skills and potential. That’s why it’s essential that the responses you provide during the selection process represent your own authentic abilities and thoughts, for us to determine if you are a good fit for a role, and for you to gain a better understanding of your strengths.

Whilst you can use AI tools to prepare for the application process — for example, to find out more about the scheme, understand what to expect, or get feedback on practice questions — you must not use AI during the assessment process itself. Remember, there’s no need to give a perfect answer. We’re interested in getting to know the real you, hearing your own ideas and perspective.

This approach reflects the values of HM Treasury and the Civil Service, including openness and integrity, while helping us create a fair and inclusive selection process for everyone. Please see our candidate guidance for more information on appropriate and inappropriate use.
