Important messages

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.

Assessment accommodation

Give yourself the best chance to succeed! As the objective of this process is to assess qualifications needed for the position(s) to be staffed, let us know if you have a functional limitation/ disability, which may affect your performance. For example, contact us if you need assistance in completing and submitting your application. Should you then proceed to the next assessment stage, such as an exam or interview, we will send you an e-mail with additional information on the assessment format so that you can determine if you may require an accommodation (such as a different test format, an adaptive technology, or additional time). Assessment accommodations are designed to remove the obstacles without altering the criteria being assessed so candidates with functional limitations can fully demonstrate their abilities.

You may also review jobs open to the public through INFOTEL at 1-800-645-5605. The INFOTEL number for persons using a TTY/TDD is 1-800-532-9397.

Are you a RCMP civilian member assigned to Shared Services Canada (SSC)? We encourage you to apply! Please note that civilian members working at SSC since December 1 2018 who are selected for appointment through this process will not be required to convert to public servant status before deeming. All other civilian members who apply and are appointed prior to deeming will need to convert to public servant status. If you have questions, please send an email message to the address indicated in Contact information section below for more information.

Please ensure you read the poster thoroughly as the instructions contain important information that will be required in the application process. Failure to read the notes and follow the instructions could result in your application missing critical information thus providing for insufficient information for the screening committee to complete your assessment and resulting in your elimination from the process.

The evaluation committee will use your answers to the screening questions to assess how you meet the essential and asset qualifications (education and experiences). The ability to communicate effectively in writing (A2) will be assessed throughout your answers you provide us with in your application. The ability to analyze and solve problems (A1) will be assessed through a screening question during your application. No other documents, such as cover letter, will be considered at this phase.

It is NOT sufficient to only state in a screening question 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 you must provide***

Contact information for 3 references: name, email address and phone number of two (2) supervisors, one being your current supervisor, the other being a previous supervisor and a client or colleague.
