Toronto Partner Tala Khoury discusses recent legal developments and risks associated with hiring practices, such as the use of artificial intelligence to screen candidates, pay transparency requirements, and human rights considerations, in an article published in Canadian HR Reporter.
For employers seeking to mitigate legal exposure in their hiring processes, Khoury recommends clearly documenting how candidates are evaluated.
“Having that type of information handy, to say ̔these are the things that we looked at when we looked at the bigger pile̕, is always helpful to defend about possible claims of bias in the future,ˮ said Khoury.
