AI at Axonify
We believe AI should help people do their best work, not replace the human judgment, creativity, and connection that make us who we are. AI is a tool we use to learn fast, elevate our craft, and focus on the work that truly creates impact. That shows up in our hiring process too.
We use AI-assisted tools to create a smoother, more organized, and ultimately more human candidate experience. These tools allow our team to spend more time on real conversations and thoughtful decision-making, the things that matter.
What AI doesn’t do at Axonify is make hiring decisions. Every decision is made by real people, using real judgment and grounded in our values.
Here’s what that means for you as a candidate:
- Feel free to use AI to support your thinking - not replace it. We use AI to learn and level up, and you can too.
- Be open about how you use AI if asked. Transparency helps us understand your process and how you approach problem-solving.
- Stay authentic. We’re hiring people, not prompts, your ideas, your experiences, and your voice are what matter.
Diversity & Accessibility
We believe our team’s unique experiences, backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, and abilities add richness to our culture and depth to our ideas. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion creates an environment that supports, empowers, and delivers a sense of belonging for all team members.
