At Formlabs, we build tools that empower people to create, and we take the same approach when it comes to hiring. Every candidate brings their own skills, ideas, and perspective — and that’s what makes our team stronger. AI is a powerful tool, but in our interview process, we want to get to know you: how you think, problem-solve, and collaborate.

As AI continues to evolve, so will our approach. These guidelines are here to keep the process transparent and fair for everyone.

Your unique perspective matters. We’re looking for people who bring their own creativity, expertise, and curiosity to the table.

Integrity is key. Our interviews are designed to reflect your real skills and experiences.

AI is a tool, not a substitute. We welcome thoughtful use of AI, but we also want to understand how you approach challenges.

We know preparation helps you put your best foot forward. As you get ready for interviews, you’re welcome to use AI alongside other resources like research, networking, or recruiter conversations.

Here’s where AI use is encouraged:

• Application materials – Use AI to help draft your resume or cover letter, as long as the content accurately represents your background and qualifications.

• Take-home assignments – Research however you like, including with AI. Just be sure your final work reflects your perspective and ideas, not generic output.

• Live coding assessments – Some of our technical interviews include AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or GitHub Copilot. If you use them, tell us. Be transparent about your prompts and choices so we understand your process.

Candidate AI Use: What’s Not Allowed

There are parts of the process where we need to see your unassisted skills:

• Phone and virtual interviews – We’re assessing collaboration, communication, and problem-solving in real time. AI-generated answers, transcription, or recording tools may not be used. This enables us to get to know you, and ensures both fairness and the protection of your privacy and our confidentiality

We’re excited about what AI can unlock, and we’re integrating it thoughtfully into our hiring process. AI supports our recruiting team, but decisions will always be made by people. Here’s how we currently use it:

• Helping recruiters identify candidates with critical skills

• Reaching out more effectively to potential applicants

• Streamlining scheduling and communication

• With your consent, transcribing interviews so our focus stays on you, not on note-taking

Formlabs is a community of innovators who thrive on diverse perspectives. We know that creativity and breakthroughs happen when people feel empowered to bring their whole selves to work. That’s why we’re committed to building an inclusive, equitable hiring process for everyone.
