What exactly does this mean?

All employers will need to follow our fair hiring practices for all job advertisements and postings. Before you post an advertisement on the position you wish to fill, consider if the job advertisement is in line with fair and progressive employment principles.

A fair and progressive job advertisement clearly outlines what is required from a candidate: qualification, skills, knowledge and relevant experience. Fair hiring practice is merit-based, any criteria within the job description should be relevant to the role being advertised and not discriminatory.
