At St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, we believe that every applicant deserves thoughtful, individualized consideration throughout the hiring process. While artificial intelligence continues to evolve and offer opportunities for efficiency in many areas of work, St. Jude Talent Acquisition does not currently use AI to review, screen, rank, or make decisions regarding employment applications.
Our recruiters personally review applications and evaluate candidate qualifications in partnership with hiring managers. This approach reflects our commitment to fairness, transparency, and the human-centered values that define both our mission and culture. It also aligns with our organizational values of care, discovery, integrity, excellence, innovation and collaboration, ensuring that every candidate is treated with respect and evaluated based on their unique qualifications, experiences, and potential.
We recognize that each candidate brings distinct skills, perspectives, and experiences that may not always be fully captured through automated processes. By maintaining human oversight throughout the application review process, we strive to uphold the principles that guide our culture—putting people first, acting with integrity, embracing collaboration, and pursuing excellence in all that we do.
As technology continues to evolve, St. Jude remains committed to evaluating emerging tools thoughtfully and responsibly. Any future consideration of AI within Talent Acquisition will be guided by our standards for ethics, compliance, data privacy, fairness, candidate experience, and alignment with our mission and values. In some hiring processes, St. Jude uses HireVue as an interview platform to support scheduling flexibility and consistency in candidate evaluation. Although HireVue offers artificial intelligence-enabled assessment capabilities, St. Jude does not currently use those features. Candidate interviews conducted through HireVue are reviewed by recruiters and hiring leaders, and all hiring decisions are made through human evaluation and judgment using job-related criteria.
Above all, our focus remains on building meaningful connections with candidates and identifying exceptional talent who are inspired by and committed to the mission of finding cures and saving children.
