AI In Job Postings: What Employers In Canada Need To Know

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the hiring landscape. Whether scanning resumes with machine learning tools or ranking candidates based on predictive models, employers in Canada may now want to ensure transparency when using AI during recruitment. This is no longer just a best practice—it is increasingly being reflected in legislative requirements.

Quick Hits

• In Ontario, if AI is used to screen, assess, or select applicants, a disclosure may be required directly in the job posting.
• Employers with fewer than twenty-five employees are exempt from Ontario's requirement.
• In Quebec, if a decision is made exclusively through automated processing (such as AI), employers need to inform the individual and offer a mechanism for human review.
