What is Greenhouse Talent Matching?

An AI-powered tool in Greenhouse, the applicant tracking system, that compares an application against the job's requirements. 16 companies hiring tech interns and new grads on Greenhouse disclosed using it on November 4, 2026.

Can I use AI to write my job application?

It depends on the employer and the stage. Some explicitly allow AI help with your application materials, as Micron's postings do, while others, such as Marvell and Adobe, forbid AI tools during interviews. Everything you submit must still be true.

Is it allowed to use an AI agent that applies to jobs for you?

Using a tool to fill in and send applications is different from using AI during an interview, which is where most employer rules apply. Whatever sends it, the application must be accurate, so an agent should answer only from your real resume and profile and never guess eligibility questions.

Do companies use AI to screen job applications? What 3,671 tech postings disclose

Q: Do companies use AI to screen job applications?

Some say they do. On November 4, 2026, about 6 percent of 3,671 open tech internship and new grad descriptions disclosed AI in the employer's hiring process, at 48 companies, including NVIDIA, Zebra Technologies, Duolingo, and Appian. Most employers do not say either way.

How many tech employers say they use AI to read applications, the tools they name, and what they allow candidates to do with AI.

By Kevin Tang · Updated November 2026

The short answer

Some do, and a growing number say so on the posting. Of 3,671 open tech internship and new grad descriptions we read on November 4, 2026, about 6 percent disclosed that the employer uses AI in hiring, at 48 of 1,123 companies. NVIDIA, Astranis, Figure, ID.me, and Zebra Technologies disclosed it most often, and 16 companies on Greenhouse said they use Greenhouse's AI-powered Talent Matching tool to compare applications against the job's requirements. Employers also set rules for candidates: nine companies, such as Marvell and Adobe, said candidates may not use AI tools, mostly in interviews and assessments, while Micron and InterSystems explicitly allow using AI on your application materials. So AI now sits on both sides of the application: write answers that match the job's requirements, keep them true, and follow each employer's rule about AI in interviews.

If an AI helps you apply, there is a fair chance an AI helps read your application too. We read thousands of open tech job descriptions to see how many employers disclose using AI in hiring, and what they ask of candidates in return.

What we measured

On November 4, 2026, we read the full description of every open U.S. posting on the SimplifyJobs internship and new grad trackers, the feed behind Arial's job board, that applies through Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, or Workday, one per role, leaving out contract AI-training gigs: 3,671 roles at 1,123 companies. We counted a role as disclosing AI in hiring when its description says the employer uses AI or automated tools to screen, review, or interview, or when its Greenhouse page carries the AI disclosure Greenhouse lets employers add. We also counted statements about whether candidates may use AI.

How many employers disclose AI in hiring

Scroll sideways to see every column

	Internships	New grad roles	All
Roles disclosing AI in hiring	6.5%	5.9%	6.3%
Companies disclosing it	38 of 772	24 of 580	48 of 1,123

NVIDIA alone accounts for 85 of the 231 roles, because it adds the same notice to every posting: "NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes." After NVIDIA, Astranis, Figure, ID.me, and Zebra Technologies disclosed it most often. Zebra's notice says it uses AI "to evaluate job applications using objective, job-relevant criteria." Most employers say nothing either way, so the share using AI tools could be higher than the share that discloses it.

AI matching inside the applicant tracking system

On Greenhouse, 82 of the 818 roles we read carried Greenhouse's AI disclosure, at 23 companies. Most used the same line: "We use Greenhouse's AI-powered Talent Matching tool to compare your application against our job requirements," and 16 companies named that tool. Matching tools like this read your application for the job's own requirements, which is one more reason the answers you send should use the posting's language and be specific.

What employers say about candidates using AI

Not in interviews: nine companies, including Marvell and Adobe, said candidates may not use AI tools, mostly during interviews and assessments. Marvell's postings say candidates "are not permitted to use AI tools (such as transcription apps, real-time answer generators like ChatGPT or Copilot, or automated note-taking bots) during interviews."
Allowed for your materials: Micron's postings encourage candidates to use AI tools to enhance their resume and application materials, as long as the information is accurate, and InterSystems allows AI help too.
Everywhere: whatever tool helps you, what you submit has to be true, and eligibility answers such as work authorization and sponsorship are statements you are responsible for.

How Arial applies for you

Arial is an AI agent that applies to jobs for you. On jobs hosted on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, Oracle, and Indeed, Apply sends the application through Arial: the agent fills in the employer's form, writing answers from your resume and saved profile, and submits it, and the job's status shows when it is submitted. It never guesses legal eligibility, such as work authorization, sponsorship, citizenship, or clearance: it uses only an answer you already gave, or asks you once and remembers. It declines voluntary demographic questions, and it does not take part in interviews.

Employers are using AI to read applications, and candidates are using AI to send them. The applications that do well are the ones that are accurate, specific to the job, and sent early, whoever pressed submit.
