Important messages

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.

A notice that your application is about to expire will be posted to the My jobs menu of your account 21 days before the end of your active period. If you do not take action, your application will no longer be active and therefore no longer considered for this inventory. Should your application become inactive while the process is still open, a notice will be posted to your account indicating that your application has expired; you may select the link Update my Inventory Status to reaffirm your interest.

Please ensure that your information is updated and remains current in your PSRS Applicant Account.

Intent of the process

It will be our intent to use RANDOM SELECTION in order to assess some candidates in the geographical locations where we have an immediate staffing need. We will randomly select approximately 5-10 candidates for every position that needs to be staffed in each location. This will be done on a priority basis depending where the need is most urgent. You will find more information about random selection at the bottom of this job advertisment.

A pool of qualified candidates or partially qualified candidates may be established to staff positions within the Department of Employment and Social Development Canada, within Service Canada. Similar positions may be staffed through this process with various tenures, language profiles or requirements and security requirements.

***Random selection***
Frequently asked questions

1. Some advertisements state that random selection may be used to identify which applicants will be assessed during the appointment process. What is random selection?

Random selection is a strategy that is sometimes used to manage applicant volume. It identifies a sub-sample of applicants by applying the element of chance at some point during the appointment process, using criteria identified by the hiring organization.

2. How is this sub-sample of applicants determined?

To determine the sub-sample of applicants, the hiring organization identifies the following:
.Criteria that qualified candidates must meet; and
.The number of candidates to be selected.

With the assistance of an electronic system that contains information on all applicants, candidates who meet these criteria are identified and the sub-sample is randomly selected from that group. The Public Service Resourcing System - the electronic system used to advertise, receive and select applications - performs the random selection function.

3. When would random selection be used?

Random selection may be suitable for use in appointment processes where a high volume of applicants are expected or have been received. Some examples include the following:
-There is a high labour market availability of candidates;
-There is a high ratio of promising candidates relative to the number of vacancies; or
-The process will staff entry-level positions that do not require specialized qualifications.
**************
Candidates must meet all of the essential qualifications noted in the Statement of Merit Criteria 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.

Depending on the requirements of the position(s) being staffed from this process, for current or future vacancies, any or all of the asset qualifications, operational requirements, and organizational needs may be applied at the time of staffing. Candidates may be contacted and assessed against these criteria at any time during this process.

The client organization will accept applications on-line only.
All job applications must therefore be submitted through the Public Service Resourcing System. Following are some of the benefits associated with applying on-line:

- Applicants can create a profile and a resume that can be used when applying for other processes without having to recreate a new application each time.
- Applicants can modify their application/resume at any time.
- Applicants can verify the status of their applications, at any time.
- Applicants can be notified electronically of tests or interviews and results.
- For some jobs, applicants will find important information, namely the job questionnaire and a complete statement of merit criteria that are only available when applying on-line.

Persons with disabilities preventing them from applying on-line are asked to contact 1-800-645-5605.

The Public Service of Canada is committed to building a skilled, diverse workforce reflective of Canadian society. As a result, it promotes employment equity and encourages candidates to indicate voluntarily on their application if they are a woman, an Aboriginal person, a person with a disability or a member of a visible minority group.

The Public Service of Canada is also committed to developing inclusive, barrier-free selection processes and work environments. If contacted in relation to a job opportunity or testing, you should advise the Public Service Commission or the departmental official in a timely fashion of the accommodation measures which must be taken to enable you to be assessed in a fair and equitable manner. Information received relating to accommodation measures will be addressed confidentially.
