Weâre committed to providing accommodation throughout the application, interview, and employment process. If you require accommodation to be at your best, please let us know during the application process.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. For more information about our use and protection of your data, please refer to our Privacy Policy (https://www.pwc.com/ca/en/privacy-policy.html).Nous tenons Ă rĂ©pondre Ă vos besoins tout au long du processus de demande dâemploi, dâentrevue et dâembauche. Si vous avez besoin de mesures dâadaptation pour ĂȘtre parfaitement Ă lâaise, faites-le-nous savoir Ă lâĂ©tape de la demande dâemploi.Lâutilisation de lâintelligence artificielle (IA) dans le domaine du recrutement en est Ă ses balbutiements. Nous savons que vous pourriez vous demander comment et pourquoi nous y avons recours. Ă certains stades de notre processus de recrutement, nous comptons sur lâIA pour amĂ©liorer votre expĂ©rience. Par exemple, pendant lâexamen du curriculum vitĂŠ ou lâĂ©laboration dâune liste de recommandations personnalisĂ©es, un agent conversationnel pourrait vous demander des prĂ©cisions ou fixer avec vous un rendez-vous pour lâentrevue. LâIA nous aide Ă mieux lutter contre les prĂ©jugĂ©s, car lâĂ©valuation des candidats se fait de façon juste et Ă©quitable, sans que les informations dâidentification comme le nom ou le sexe soient connues. Elle nous permet Ă©galement de mieux repĂ©rer les bons candidats pour un poste et dâĂ©valuer le lien entre leurs compĂ©tences, leur expĂ©rience et leurs chances de rĂ©ussir chez PwC Canada. Bien que lâIA facilite certaines Ă©tapes de notre processus de recrutement, les dĂ©cisions finales dâembauche sont toujours prises par des personnes.
