Recruitment fraud is a scheme in which fictitious job opportunities are offered to job seekers typically through online services, such as false websites, or through unsolicited emails claiming to be from the company. These emails may request recipients to provide personal information or to make payments as part of their illegitimate recruiting process. DXC does not make offers of employment via social media networks and DXC never asks for any money or payments from applicants at any point in the recruitment process, nor ask a job seeker to purchase IT or other equipment on our behalf. More information on employment scams is available here.

Yes – we use AI to help make parts of our hiring process faster and more consistent for candidates. For example, AI can support the initial review of applications by highlighting how your skills and experience match the role. That said, AI is only used as a support tool – it doesn’t make decisions about who gets hired. Every application is reviewed by our recruiters and hiring teams, and all final decisions are made by people.

We’re also committed to using AI responsibly. That means protecting your privacy, minimizing potential bias, and making sure there’s always human oversight throughout the process.
