How Webflow uses AI in hiring
Every hiring decision at Webflow is made by a human.
How we use AI in hiring
Our recruiting team and hiring managers use AI to help with operational work. This ensures that candidates speak with interviewers who are more present and better prepared, and that Webflow maintains an equitable hiring process for all our candidates.
“Operational work” includes:
- Drafting and refining job descriptions
- Generating structured interview question banks
- Creating interview prep resources for team members
- Recording and transcribing interviews so interviewers can stay present
- Note: Interviewees can opt out of recording and transcription at any time
- Summarizing interview notes to avoid bias
- Analyzing hiring trends to make our process more equitable and effective
We're evaluating new AI tools all the time, and we’ll update this page as our approach evolves. To learn more about Webflow’s guiding principles around AI, click here.
How job candidates should use AI
Strong candidates for roles at Webflow treat AI as a collaborator with constraints rather than an oracle. This means knowing when to reach for AI tools, how to validate what they give you, and how to avoid over-reliance on them.
If you're unsure whether AI is allowed for a specific interview stage, don’t hesitate to ask your recruiter. We'd much rather clarify than assume.
What matters most is that what you share with us reflects your real experience, judgment, and capabilities.
Use AI for help with…
Application materials
AI can help you refine your resume and how you communicate your experience. But your experience itself needs to be real.
General prep
Use AI to research Webflow, practice answers, prepare questions, understand technical concepts, or generate mock interview prompts to rehearse. AI hallucinates, so make sure to verify facts.
Behavioral interview prep
AI can help you recall and outline your experiences to share as examples in your interview. Just make sure the examples themselves are real: your own situations, in your own words.
Take-home assignments
If the instructions allow it, use AI the same way you would on the job: to brainstorm, debug, and/or outline. We're evaluating the gap between what the model gives you and what you ship.
Live assessments
Use the tools explicitly approved by your interviewer or recruiter. In our Codeflow coding interview, for example, AI is permitted so that we can evaluate how candidates use it as a collaborator.
Don’t use AI for…
Resume padding
Don't use AI to reshape your resume, references, or cover letter in ways that misrepresent your actual skills. Refining is fine; fabricating isn't.
Mass applications
Don't automate or bulk-submit applications. We review as many as we can by hand — please don't make it harder for us!
Live AI ghostwriting
Don't use AI to generate or display responses in real time during a live interview, whether through chat, shared documents, technical exercises, or overlay tools like Cluely. We're here to talk to you, not a model.
Personal recordings
Don't use your own recording or transcription tool during interviews. BrightHire is the only tool approved by Webflow because it meets our standards for security and consent.
Violating any of these rules may disqualify you from the hiring process.
