GenAI Best Practices and Permitted Uses​

Cisco Talent Bridge is a global career platform connecting candidates with opportunities across Cisco and our network of strategic partner employers.

The following guidelines apply to every candidate, every role, and every stage of the hiring process.​

Across our network, fairness, integrity, and originality are fundamental expectations. As a global AI leader, Cisco is committed to using technology ethically and responsibly, ensuring candidates are evaluated on their skills, experiences, and potential—whether or not they use AI tools in their preparation.​

Generative AI can support your journey, but it should never replace your voice.​

Our Philosophy

How Talent Bridge Uses AI

Talent Bridge uses AI-powered matching to connect you with roles that align with your skills and experience.

All hiring decisions involve human review. AI supports the process — people make the decisions.​

​

Your Data and Privacy​

Your data is protected within Talent Bridge through Cisco's strict privacy and compliance standards.

When you apply for a role, your application is either submitted directly to the employer through the platform or securely redirected to the employer's portal for submission. Your personal information is never sold to third parties.​

Our Commitment to You​

Cisco Talent Bridge is committed to a hiring experience that is transparent, respectful, and fair — for every candidate, across every organization in our global network.​

​

Every organization on this platform upholds these guidelines.

Specific roles or assessments may include additional AI use instructions from the hiring organization. Those instructions take precedence. For questions specific to a role or hiring process, connect directly with the hiring organization.​

​

As AI and hiring practices evolve, this document will be updated to reflect those changes.​
