ESG: Regulations Summary

The pandemic and concurrent acceleration of digital tools has increased interest in conducting virtual job interviews and candidate assessments within the federal government. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has advised a number of federal government agencies on the use of virtual staffing platforms.

A new Privacy Act Bulletin emphasises important privacy considerations when using third-party staffing platforms that provide human resources services.

The purpose of Privacy Act Bulletins is to provide lessons learned, best practises, and other important privacy news, trends, and information related to privacy protection in the federal government.
