New Job Posting Requirements: Effective January 1, 2026
Ontario has introduced new rules for publicly advertised job postings under the Employment Standards Act. These changes are designed to promote transparency and fairness in hiring.
If your organization has 25 or more employees, and you publicly advertise job openings, these rules may apply to you.
In brief, job postings must:
- Include the expected pay or pay range
- Disclose whether artificial intelligence (AI) is used in the hiring process
- Avoid requiring Canadian work experience
- State whether the posting represents a real, existing vacancy
- Provide interviewed candidates with a status update within a set timeframe
There are exemptions and important details to be aware of. We recommend reviewing the full guidance below to ensure your postings are compliant.
Great Lakes Biodiesel is opening a new Biodiesel Plant in Welland Ontario. As General Plant Manager, I have been working with the local Job Gym to hire staff for the plant. All first interviews and screening were done by Job Gym. I received the recommended candidates list for second interviews. We have been highly successful in doing this. We have hired the Assistant Plant Manager, 4 shift leaders and 8 operators through the Job Gym. The service provided is amazing and if I had to do it all without them, I am afraid I would still be interviewing. Thanks Amanda Channon and Welland Job Gym.
I have been using Job Gym services since we opened our first Welland Giant Tiger store in 2002. They have been instrumental in helping us with all of our recruiting and hiring needs. The staff at the Job Gym is friendly, helpful and they always deliver top notch candidates. The Job Gym saves me valuable time by doing the pre-screening and first interview, and then only sending me qualified top notch individuals. I have worked with them for ten years and I trust their judgment and evaluation of candidates. I would recommend the Job Gym for all your employment needs.
As one of the largest employers in the city of Welland, Convergys has the opportunity to hire many people within the community. Job Gym has always been a great partner in helping us find qualified, professional employees. The staff works with individuals to prepare them for their job search and often follow up with us to see how they are doing. They have many programs to help individuals and we have found ourselves referring people that need further development to Job Gym to hone their skills before reapplying and being successfully hired. They impart a sense of caring about the candidate and about the success of our company.
