Giving you the best chance to succeed!

If you have a limitation that may impact your performance at any steps of the assessment process (such as during a written test or an interview), you may request an accommodation. Assessment accommodations are designed to remove barriers, and to ensure that candidates with limitations can fully demonstrate their abilities. Should you wish to be accommodated, please direct your inquiry to the contact identified at the bottom of this poster. All information received in relation to accommodation will be kept confidential.

Please note that only those applicants who meet the ( education and/or experience ) criteria will be invited to the next stage of evaluation. We thank all applicants for your interest in this selection process.

Work environment

We are One PSPC!

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) helps the Government of Canada serve Canadians. With a strong focus on quality customer service, we provide innovative common services such as real estate and building management, purchasing, banking, pay and pensions, and translation to other government departments, agencies and boards. By providing these centralized services to departments and agencies, we enable them to focus on what they do best: providing their programs and services to Canadians.

At PSPC, we are committed to achieving a competent, representative workforce that reflects the diversity of the Canadian population. We work hard to create a welcoming, respectful and inclusive workplace through a variety of programs and initiatives. In fact, we have been named one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers for the fifth year in a row and here is a list of some of our diversity and inclusion achievements:
• five diversity networks;
• a Task Force on Anti-racism, Workplace Culture and Equity
• a national Reconciliation and Indigenous Engagement Unit
• an Ombudsman for Mental Health (the first such position within the federal public service)
• an Accessibility Office
• a Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA+) Centre of Expertise

While many programs and initiatives have already been implemented in line with our commitments to diversity and inclusion, we aim to get better! That's why we have highlighted three underrepresented groups to apply to this poster and invite you to be part of the change by joining an organization where efforts are being made to promote PSPC’s commitments to Indigenous reconciliation, persons with disabilities and women.
