As part of that commitment, we believe in providing clear information about how our hiring technologies work and how your data is used. The following section outlines our AI-assisted interview process and your rights as a candidate. 

AI-Assisted Interview Experience (Pete & Gabi – Rebecca):

To provide a consistent, fair, and flexible experience for all candidates, we use AI-assisted tools—including our proprietary platform Pete & Gabi – Rebecca—to support parts of the interview process. These tools help us:

• transcribe interviews,
• summarize candidate responses,
• generate job-related insights
• streamline communication and scheduling.

Please note that

• AI does NOT make hiring decisions.
• All decisions are made by our human recruiters, hiring managers, or client partners.
• The AI does not evaluate facial expressions, emotions, or physical traits.
• It is used only to support fairness, consistency, and efficiency.

If you prefer a non-AI interview format, we will gladly provide an alternative.

Technical or Case Interviews (Role-Dependent):

For certain positions, you may participate in:

• a technical interview
• a coding challenge
• a case study
• a client-specific assessment.

We will always explain what to expect in advance so you can prepare with confidence.

Human Review & Selection:

Every candidate’s profile—including interviews, conversations, and assessments—is reviewed by experienced recruiters and hiring leaders.

AI insights may assist with organization and evaluation, but final decisions are always human-driven.

Your Rights as a Candidate

At PTP, every candidate has the right to:

• Request a non-AI interview path
