We are committed to providing an inclusive and barrier-free work environment, starting with the hiring process. If you need to be accommodated during any phase of the evaluation process, please use the Contact information below to request specialized accommodation. All information received in relation to accommodation will be kept confidential.
Only applications submitted via this portal will be accepted. Applicants are not required to submit a cover letter. Instead, they are required to answer screening questions and provide the requested information through the Public Service Resourcing System (PSRS) online portal. As such, applicants must clearly demonstrate with specific and concrete examples, in their answers, how they meet the education and experience factors listed in the essential qualifications. Candidates will not be solicited for incomplete or missing information, and as such, will be eliminated from the selection process.
While the Courts Administration Service pays their employees through Phoenix, we have in-house Compensation services which include direct access to a Compensation Advisor in Ottawa for timely resolution of any pay issues that arise.
1. Applicants who apply to this selection process must include in their application a valid e-mail address and make sure this address is functional at all times and accepts messages from unknown users.
2. You will be required to show how you demonstrate the essential qualifications (i.e. Education, Experience and/or Occupational Certification) for the initial screening through your résumé and in answering online screening questions. It is NOT sufficient to only state that the qualifications are met or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities. Rather you must clearly demonstrate HOW, WHEN, and WHERE the qualification was met through substantiation by examples. Information on your described skills, experience, etc. provided in the screening questions should be supported by your résumé. Failure to provide the above information in the format required may result in your application being rejected from the process. The answers you provide in your submission may also serve to assess your ability to communicate effectively in writing.
3. If you do not fully complete the screening questions as instructed, you may be screened out.
4. A random or top down selection of candidates may be used in the determination of those to be given further consideration in the assessment process.
5. Asset qualifications may be applied in this selection process.
6. Please identify clearly your substantive group and level and your employment status on your résumé and/or application form (if applicable).
