Are you looking for a challenging and dynamic job in which you can make a difference in the lives of Canadians? A job at the CRTC might be of interest to you.

The CRTC is an administrative tribunal of approx. 550 employees that operates at arm’s length from the federal government; nonetheless, the CRTC’s employees are employees of the public service. Led by our Chairperson, with the support of Vice-chairpersons and regional Commissioners, we are dedicated to ensuring that Canadians have access to a world-class communication system that promotes innovation and enriches their lives. Our role is to implement the laws and regulations set by Parliamentarians who create legislation and departments that set policies. We regulate and supervise broadcasting and telecommunications in the public interest. For more information, please consult our website at https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/acrtc/organ.htm.

The Human Resources Operations team within the CRTC prepares documents related to staffing, coordinates the different steps including second language evaluations, updates organizational charts and other tools used to monitor HR activities within the CRTC, and proceeds with various data entries, amongst other activities. The selected individual may also be called upon to support other HR Programs (recognition and awards, training, and many more).

IMPORTANT MESSAGES REGARDING THE SCREENING QUESTIONS:

1. The purpose of these screening questions is to help you submit an application that is clear, complete and persuasive and demonstrates that you have all of the required essential education and experience qualifications and some or all of the asset education and experience qualifications.

2. The screening of candidates will be conducted only on the basis of these screening questions. The resume you have sent with your initial application will be used only if the Assessment Board considers it needs to validate the information provided in this questionnaire.

3. Please DO NOT send a cover letter. These screening questions replace the cover letter. We will NOT review cover letters.

4. Each question is divided into two parts. The first part consists of a simple question requiring a YES or NO answer. If your answer is “yes”, the second part will ask to fully demonstrate how you obtained this qualification.

5. Responses will not be considered satisfactory if you simply state that you have the required qualifications or provide a list of current or past responsibilities or paraphrase the qualifications.

Your responses to the screening questions will be used as the primary source to determine if you meet the screening requirements. If you do not fully complete the screening questions as instructed, you may be screened out.

Candidates must meet all of the essential qualifications to be appointed to a position. A candidate may be appointed to a position even though he/she does not meet any or all of the asset qualifications or operational requirements. However, meeting these criteria is desirable and may be a deciding factor in choosing the person to be appointed.

Candidates should be aware that the evaluation process will be conducted under tight deadlines shortly after the closing date of the poster. They will therefore be expected to be available when scheduled for their assessment. Failure to attend without official authorization could lead to their candidacy not being further considered. Rescheduling will be on an exceptional basis only.

All communication relating to this process, including email correspondence may be used in the assessment of qualifications.

Communication for this process will be sent via email. It is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure accurate contact information is provided and updated as required. Candidates who apply to this selection process should include an email address that accepts emails from unknown users (some email systems block these types of email).

Volume management :
Depending on the volume of applications received, any or all of the asset qualifications, operational requirements, and organizational needs may determine those to be given further consideration in the assessment process.
