How Toast Uses AI in its Hiring Process

Throughout the hiring process, our goal is to get to know you.

We use AI tools to support our recruiters and interviewers with tasks like note-taking, summarization, and documentation of interviews to ensure they can be fully focused on your conversation.

All hiring decisions are made by people.

We ask that you complete interviews and assessments on your own, without real-time AI tools, recording, or transcription bots, unless we tell you otherwise in advance.
