We're 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 a repondre a vos besoins tout au long du processus de demande d'emploi, d'entrevue et d'embauche. Si vous avez besoin de mesures d'adaptation pour etre parfaitement a l'aise, faites-le-nous savoir a l'etape de la demande d'emploi.L'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) dans le domaine du recrutement en est a ses balbutiements. Nous savons que vous pourriez vous demander comment et pourquoi nous y avons recours. A certains stades de notre processus de recrutement, nous comptons sur l'IA pour ameliorer votre experience. Par exemple, pendant l'examen du curriculum vit ou l'elaboration d'une liste de recommandations personnalisees, un agent conversationnel pourrait vous demander des precisions ou fixer avec vous un rendez-vous pour l'entrevue. L'IA nous aide a mieux lutter contre les prejuges, car l'evaluation des candidats se fait de facon juste et equitable, sans que les informations d'identification comme le nom ou le sexe soient connues. Elle nous permet egalement de mieux reperer les bons candidats pour un poste et d'evaluer le lien entre leurs competences, leur experience et leurs chances de reussir chez PwC Canada. Bien que l'IA facilite certaines etapes de notre processus de recrutement, les decisions finales d'embauche sont toujours prises par des personnes.
