What is Canadian Human Rights Act (Canada)?

Canada's federal anti-discrimination legislation prohibiting discrimination in employment and the provision of services within federally regulated industries and the federal government, covering 13 prohibited grounds including race, sex, disability, age, and gender identity.

Why it matters in hiring

Canadian Human Rights Act (Canada) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
