During interview rounds when applicants showcase their skills through small projects or tests, the CEO appreciates potential employees who enhance their tasks using tools. Leveraging artificial intelligence combined with their human capabilities fuels the deadly combination that the software giant, which has a market cap of $141 billion, is looking for.

“[If]someone came to me and said: ‘Hey, I created this content for your social media channels, and I used AI as part of this.’ I would say: ‘That’s perfect,’” Martinet explains. “If it was like: ‘Hey, I’m interviewing for a communications job, I made a first draft, then I reviewed it via AI, and suggested some tweaks,’” This is going to be excellent.”

How companies think about artificial intelligence and hiring

Adobe isn’t the only big tech company allowing job applicants to use AI in the hiring process. AI giant Anthropic, valued at $61.5 billion, is now allowing candidates to take advantage of advanced technology after changing their minds.

The application process requires applicants to answer the question “Why do you want to work here?” Question, apart from submitting their cover letters – but he added a condition.
