USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – BY RECRUITERS & HIRING MANAGERS

At The Talent Company, people are at the centre of our recruitment process. While we may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools for limited administrative purposes (such as writing creative outreach messages, summarizing interview notes, or transcribing reference checks), AI is never the decision-maker. Resumes and candidate information are personally reviewed by our recruiters, and all hiring decisions are made by people who bring judgment, care, and expertise to each match. If a client’s recruitment process involves a greater degree of AI use during their own interviews or assessments, we will communicate that to shortlisted candidates so they are aware in advance. Our commitment is to use technology responsibly while ensuring fairness, transparency, and respect at every stage of the process.

USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – BY CANDIDATES

We recognize that candidates may choose to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support their job search, for example, to refine writing style or gather research. While this can be appropriate, the information you provide in your resume, screening questions, and interviews must always be truthful and accurately reflect your own experience, knowledge, and competencies. AI should never be used to create or exaggerate credentials. Our goal is to understand the real you—your skills, your story, and your potential—so that we can make the best possible match between you and the organizations we serve.

ACCOMMODATION & INCLUSIVITY

At The Talent Company, we recognize the value of different perspectives and experiences in fostering innovation, sparking creativity, and solving problems. As an equal opportunity employer, we do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of race, Indigenous identity, membership in a visible minority group, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or any other category protected by law.

We are committed to equal opportunity and welcome applications from all sections of the community. Please let us know by emailing recruitment@thetalent.co if an adjustment or accommodation is required at any stage to support you during the recruitment process.
