The Competition Process - What Happens After You Apply

Screening Applicants

Following the closing date, resumes/applications are screened, and candidates who best meet the qualifications advertised are contacted to come for an interview.

Selection Panel

The competition process is normally handled by a selection panel, which most often consists of three or four members. Panels usually include the supervisor of the position and others, such as human resource professionals, the manager or director of the program area, or a technical expert. The selection panel screens the applicants and conducts the interviews.

Selection of the Successful Candidate

After the interview and other appropriate reviews (e.g. reference checks) the selection panel selects the most suitable candidate for the position.
