Disclosure on Use of Artifical Intelligence in Recruitment: At METRO, we are commited to transparency and fairness in our hiring practices. In compliance with Ontario's Employment Standards Act (Bill 149), we disclose that METRO and certain third-party job boards we use incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) technology to assist in screening, assessing, or selecting applicants for positions. The use of AI helps us efficiently review the large volume of applications we receive, ensuring that every candidate's profile is considered promptly and consistently.

This technology supports our goal of providing an equitable and streamlined recruitment experience for all applicants.
