The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in recruiting is just getting started so we know you have questions about how and why we use it. At certain points during our recruiting process we rely on AI to improve your experience. This could be during resume review or curating personalized job recommendations asking you clarifying questions via a chatbot or during our interview scheduling to improve your experience. Our use of AI helps ensure we combat bias by evaluating candidates equally and fairly without seeing identity information such as your name or gender for example). AI also helps us better predict successful hires by reviewing all applicants for a role and the relationship between your skills experience and likely success at PwC Canada. While AI supports parts of our recruitment process final hiring decisions always involve human review.

Lutilisation de lintelligence artificielle (IA) dans le domaine du recrutement en est à ses balbutiements. Nous savons que vous pourriez vous demander comment et pourquoi nous y avons recours. À certains stades de notre processus de recrutement nous comptons sur lIA pour améliorer votre expérience. Par exemple pendant lexamen du curriculum vitæ ou lélaboration dune liste de recommandations personnalisées un agent conversationnel pourrait vous demander des précisions ou fixer avec vous un rendez-vous pour lentrevue. LIA nous aide à mieux lutter contre les préjugés car lévaluation des candidats se fait de façon juste et équitable sans que les informations didentification comme le nom ou le sexe soient connues. Elle nous permet également de mieux repérer les bons candidats pour un poste et dévaluer le lien entre leurs compétences leur expérience et leurs chances de réussir chez PwC Canada. Bien que lIA facilite certaines étapes de notre processus de recrutement les décisions finales dembauche sont toujours prises par des personnes.
