Assessment accommodation

***************************
📢 The evaluation steps are as follows:
1. First step: Through your initial application to this selection process, you will have to answer pre-screening questions about your education and experience (essential qualifications for the position). There will also be a question related to an asset experience and some questions to better understand how you heard about us!
2. Second step: If you are selected following the correction of your application, competencies will be assessed at a later date using different assessment methods.
***************************
SSC is committed to creating a workplace that is respectful of Canada’s two official languages. The staffing of bilingual positions, with respect to supervision and the provision of common and central services, is the norm in regions designated bilingual for language-of-work purposes. SSC must ensure that it has adequate bilingual capacity to implement its mandate, while respecting the language rights of its employees and those of client departments across the country. Language training is offered to SSC employees who would like to acquire or improve skills in the other official language for developmental or career advancement purposes.

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 obstacles without altering the criteria being assessed to allow candidates with functional limitations to 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.

Duties

The purpose of classification (HR discipline) is to assess the relative value of the duties performed by an employee through the analysis of his or her job description in the organizational context (organizational chart). Following this analysis, we can determine the group and level of the position, which in turn is linked to a salary scale. The ultimate goal of classification is to ensure that everyone working for the federal government who does the same work receive the same pay.

In your daily tasks, you will be asked to:
- Work under the supervision of a seasoned Human Resources management specialist
- Conduct research and analysis in support of organizational design activities (creation and abolition of positions, realignment of functions)
- Evaluate jobs to acquire knowledge and skills in this field
- Become familiar with the functions and interdependencies of related disciplines in human resources
