FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• How will you communicate with me?
We will contact you by email. Please ensure that your email is valid and accepts messages from unknown users. It is your responsibility to regularly check your inbox, junk mail and your GC Jobs account to find out about all the information regarding this inventory.
• How does an inventory work?
An inventory is a selection process that can be used by various hiring managers to meet their current and future needs. As a result, you will apply only once to be considered for multiple job opportunities.
• Will I be able to be reassessed following an elimination email?
Yes. You will be able to be reassessed after 6 months should your application be randomly selected by the system. We strongly suggest candidates to update their application should any changes occur during the time their application was submitted.
• Why was my application automatically rejected when I submitted it?
In order to be placed in the inventory, you must meet the essential qualifications at the time you submit your application. If you receive a message "Application rejected at screening" immediately after submitting your application, you probably answered "No" to a screening question assessing an essential qualification. If you have incorrectly indicated "No" for this qualification, simply retrieve your application and update your answer to the screening question.
• What does "Registered in the inventory" mean?
Once your application has been successfully submitted to the inventory, your status may be: "Date of disclosure of results: Listed in the inventory". This automatically generated message by the system means that your application can be considered. You will be informed in the event that your application is considered as part of a process generated from this inventory.
• What happens if my application expires?
Your application will be kept in the inventory for 6 months. A notice will be posted in the "My Job File" menu of your account 7 days before your application expires.
