Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in recruiting is just getting started. At certain points during our recruiting process we rely on AI to improve your experience. For example, during resume review or curating personalized job recommendations, a chatbot could ask you clarifying questions or schedule interview appointments. AI helps us reduce bias by evaluating applicants fairly and without seeing identity information such as name or gender. It also assists in predicting successful hires by analysing relationships 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.
