Our Approach to AI in Hiring

At Mile 2, applications are reviewed by real people—not filtered out by bots. Authenticity matters more than keyword tricks. 

We know you're probably using AI tools to help draft or polish your resumes, and that’s fine! We're using AI to write this blurb about AI!  But we expect you to make it your own. Resumes that feel copy-pasted —repetitive, oddly phrased, “too perfect” matches to our job description— may hurt your chances. Adding personal touches and real examples of your work will make your application stronger. 

The use of AI tools or other external assistance during interviews is not permitted.

We look forward to meeting the real you!
