The interview provides an employer with an opportunity to meet a potential candidate and get a sense of the person’s suitability for a particular position. However, employers should exercise caution when conducting interviews. In particular, interviewers should concentrate solely on ascertaining information that will help evaluate a candidate’s suitability for the role and whether accommodations will be required. Beware of asking questions about areas of discrimination prohibited by Ontario’s Human Rights Code, such as race, sex, disability, age, marital status, unless the questions relate to exceptions provided for in the legislation.
