Inventory – Entry Level Opportunities at Indigenous Services Canada (ISC)

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

When you apply to this selection process, you are not applying for a specific job, but to an inventory for future vacancies. As positions become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment.

As various positions will be filled from this inventory, a complete “Statement of Merit Criteria and Conditions of Employment” IS NOT PROVIDED at this time. Should you be contacted for further consideration, the hiring manager may provide a copy of the complete Statement of Merit Criteria and Conditions of Employment for the position being filled. At that time, you may be required to provide additional information to be used for screening and assessment.

The inventory will be updated every 120 days. You will receive a notice in your applicant account 15 days before the end of your active period to determine whether or not you wish to keep being considered for an additional 120 days.

OUR MISSION: Working together to make Canada a better place for Indigenous and Northern peoples and communities.

WHY CHOOSE ISC? Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) provides a dynamic work environment that is open to transformation. In this spirit, ISC works with many partners to improve access to high-quality services for First Nations, Inuit and Métis. ISC's vision is to support and empower Indigenous people to independently deliver services tailored to the socio-economic conditions of their communities. Join a workplace committed to reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. You can’t find this type of experience anywhere else.

Intent of the process

ANTICIPATORY STAFFING: This process aims to create and maintain an inventory to fill immediate and future vacancies. It can also be used to fill similar positions in other workplaces in Canada. A pool of qualified candidates may be established and may be used to staff immediate and future vacancies on an indeterminate, term (specified period), and/or acting basis. As positions become available, hiring managers may request referrals from the inventory. A random selection will be used at any time during the process to identify which applicants will be assessed. Please note that this process may be used to staff similar poisitions in other Indigenous Services Canada work locations within Canada.
