Further, you will be required to provide an updated resume and asked to provide an example of when you’ve demonstrated the personal suitability that DFO is looking for.

• Step 2: Job Matching

As positions become available, the hiring manager will establish the experience requirements a candidate would need in order to be successful in the role. They may also identify some “nice to have” qualifications which would be an asset if a candidate had such experience.
Upon identifying the requirements of the position, Human Resources will review your responses to the experience questions and your location preference. Should you indicate you have the experience factors the hiring manager is looking for and the position’s location is within your preference, Human Resources will contact you to:
1. Confirm you are interested and available in the position
2. Ask you to elaborate on how you meet the experience required.

This communication will be sent to you using the GC Jobs communication platform as well to your e-mail. Please ensure that you check your e-mail and GC Jobs account frequently as there is often a deadline for your response.

• Step 3: Online Interview

You will be asked to complete an online video interview using the VidCruiter Platform which will be recorded and made available to the hiring manager. The online interview is designed to assess your verbal communication skills and assess you against the personal suitability required for each BI-02 and BI-03 position.

Please note: You may be asked to complete an online interview before you’ve been matched to a position.

• Step 4: Additional Assessment

Depending on the position being staffed, the hiring manager may establish additional criteria that are essential qualifications which candidates must meet. These criteria may include additional abilities and/or knowledge factors for their vacancy. Therefore, in addition to reference checks, a knowledge test or additional interview may be required.

Should you be selected for the position, the hiring manager will contact you directly.
