AI and Hiring at Mentimeter
At Mentimeter, we believe AI helps us work smarter - but it never replaces the human assessment, curiosity, and personal connection that define our culture and our hiring. We use AI as a sparring partner: to bounce ideas, bring new perspectives, support structure, and make our work more efficient. But the meaning, decisions, and interactions always come from people.

• AI does not screen or decide on candidates.


• There is no automated filtering, ranking, or decision-making in our recruitment process. Every application is reviewed by a person.


• Hiring teams may use AI to support their work - for example, to structure notes, prepare interview questions, or organize their thinking.

AI strengthens our work, but it does not define it. At Mentimeter, we’re not building an AI-driven hiring process - we’re building a people-first culture, where technology helps us listen, learn, and grow together.
