Using Artificial Intelligence in GoDaddy Recruiting Process 

GoDaddy is committed to harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) with a focus on ethical practices and responsible innovation, particularly in our recruiting processes. We recognize the importance of fairness, transparency, and inclusivity in AI-driven talent acquisition, and are dedicated to implementing systems that minimize bias and support equitable opportunities for all candidates. Our approach includes regular audits, ongoing checks, and continuous refinement of our AI tools to ensure they remain effective, unbiased, and aligned with our core values. By maintaining rigorous oversight and adapting to new insights and regulations, GoDaddy strives to create a recruitment environment where AI enhances decision-making while upholding the highest standards of integrity and fairness. 

GoDaddy is committed to ensuring that our use of AI in hiring complies with all relevant employment laws and regulations, as well as our internal policies around the acceptable use of AI—including that hiring decisions will always be made by humans. 

GoDaddy recognizes that AI tools can be valuable resources for candidates as they prepare for interviews and present their skills. However, our goal is to foster genuine interactions and ensure that candidates are evaluated based on their unique qualifications and abilities. We are committed to making fair, data-driven decisions that are informed by human judgment and insight. By adhering to these principles, we maintain the integrity of our recruiting process while enabling candidates to benefit from the advantages that AI can provide. 
 
Candidate AI guidelines by interview stage: 

• Application: AI can help build your resume but should not misrepresent your unique experience and skills.
• Assessments: These practical assignments are designed to showcase your real skills. If AI was used to help complete it, we expect you to engage in a discussion regarding the prompts, variables, and technical choices made during the process.  
• Interview Preparation: AI can help you prepare for interviews or practice potential interview questions, but your responses should be tailored to your own qualifications and knowledge. It can also be a great tool to help research GoDaddy’s products, history, and goals for the future, resulting in a more informed discussion with your interviewer.
• Phone/Video Interview: We structure our interviews to understand and assess skills essential to the role, along with your collaborative and interpersonal capabilities. If AI is being used during any part of the interview process, we expect you to engage in a discussion regarding the prompts, variables, and technical choices made during that process. 

How does GoDaddy use AI in our hiring processes?
