Work environment

Are you a Gryffindor (brave, loyal, courageous and adventurous), a Ravenclaw (wise, creative, clever and knowledgeable), a Hufflepuff (hard working, dedicated, fair, patient) or a Slytherin (resourceful, ambitious, determined and crave leadership)?

No matter what ‘house’ you belong to, Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) has various teams that we would love to use our ‘sorting hat’ to place you into. We are looking for strong and motivated candidates that are interested in making an impact on Canadian citizens. With our Talent Management Program, we will help you grow, learn and further develop your magical career within the Public Service. Come and let TBS become your home away from home!

Intent of the process

A pool of partially qualified persons resulting from this process WILL be created and WILL be used to fill similar positions with linguistic profiles (Bilingual Imperative BBB/BBB and CBC/CBC) as well as tenures (please refer to Employment Tenure section of this poster) that may vary according to the position being staffed.

In order to continue creating a diverse workforce and to staff positions based on identified gaps, members of the following Employment Equity groups: Indigenous Persons, Visible Minorities and Persons with Disabilities are encouraged to self-identify and appointments from this stream may be used to fill similar positions with linguistic profiles of Bilingual Imperative BBB/BBB and CBC/CBC AND bilingual Non-Imperative* BBB/BBB and CBC/CBC.
* A non-imperative appointment means that the position can be staffed with a person who agrees to become bilingual through language training at government expense.

This pool may be used to staff similar positions in other organizations within the core public administration (http://www.psc-cfp.gc.ca/plcy-pltq/rfli-lirf/index-eng.htm). By applying to this process, you consent to your personal application-related information being shared with other government departments interested in staffing similar positions.
