Transparency on use of AI and position vacancy

One AI–enabled tool that may be used during the interview process is that of interview recording, transcription, and summarizing. Again, this would not make decisions, but simply make reviewing the notes easier. We will always ask for the candidates approval before using such a tool.
In compliance with Ontario regulations, the advertised posting is for a currently vacant position.
