Employment Information
Types of Competitions
Open competitions have the broadest area of search
and are used when it is in the public interest to seek applications
from the public and when the required skills are not readily available
from within the civil service. The area of search for an open
competition may be local, regional, provincial or national.
Closed competitions are restricted to regular,
term and departmental employees. They are used when experience
in government is considered essential to effective performance in
the position or when the position provides a career opportunity
for current employees. A closed competition may effectively
use current employees when advertising to the public would provide
no significant advantage.
Internal competitions have an area of search limited
to employees from a specific department or work unit. It is
used when the required skills can only be gained from specific experience
in government. Internal competitions may also be used where
a staff year is unavailable and outcome of the competition is to
reclassify or second the successful candidate.
