What are the Usual Hiring Process Timelines?

• Recruitment Duration: The recruitment process for any role usually takes about 4-8 weeks.
• Initial Contact: Applicants under consideration are typically contacted within 2-4 weeks of the closing date. If you are not contacted within 4 weeks, you may not have been selected for the screening process and will be notified once the file is successfully closed.
• Pre-Screening and Assessments (Testing): You may be contacted for pre-screening questions and additional assessments before the first formal interview. We do not use AI to select our candidates; every application is reviewed by our team. A combination of Talent and Hiring Managers conduct the screening process. Some departments and positions have specific assessments that must be completed as part of the selection process.
• Interviews: There are typically 1-2 interviews, which are behavioral in nature. Please familiarize yourself with the STAR Method and visit our Interview Tips section for further guidance.
• Reference Checks: Reference checks will be conducted following the interviews.
• Offer Contingency:
  • Internal candidates: an updated Criminal Record Check may or may not be required for union positions, out of scope and job changes. Some employees may already have one on file.
  • For external candidates: the job offer is contingent upon a satisfactory Criminal Record Check. If you have a criminal record, please still apply, as your application will be reviewed. The decision will depend on the severity and timing of the offense, as well as the type of role.
  • For all applicants (internal and external): Verification (picture or scanned document emailed in) of post-secondary education, certifications, trade certificates, or any updates to your education or certifications listed on your resume is required.

Is a Cover Letter required?

• It's not required, but highlighting your relevant skills, particularly in leadership roles, will likely be beneficial.

Are you an internal applicant on leave?

• Make sure your candidate login profile has your personal email address in the "Profile Information." Then, return to “Login with Employee Personal Email" and apply with that account.

How do I check my application status and what does it mean?

• On your candidate profile page, under the “Jobs Applied” tab, you can see the status of your applications. "Under Review" indicates you're still being evaluated, while "In Progress" means you're being considered for an interview. 
•  If your status doesn't change, it means you may have not be selected to move forward in the screening process and once the role has been filled, you will notice "Closed" as a status update.

NOTE: You can only update or upload a new resume and add additional documents to your application for an open job while its status is "Application Under Review."

Are you a student looking for a Co-op Term, Internship, Practicum, or Apprenticeship?

• We typically post at post-secondary institutions for co-op student positions. For inquiries about practicums, internships, or apprenticeships, submit a Service Request to have your message forwarded to our Talent team.

How can I change my personal information or update my resume online?

• To log in to your personal candidate profile, click on "Candidate Login" on our Jobs page. You can update any information under the blue navbars. To change your resume, click the trash icon to delete the old document, then upload a new one. Don't forget to click Save after your updates.

Are you an international candidate looking to apply and relocate to Regina?

• Please refer to the SINP - Saskatchewan Immigration & Nominee Program for relocation and immigration assistance. Add hyperlink if we can - https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/moving-to-saskatchewan/live-in-saskatchewan/by-immigrating/saskatchewan-immigrant-nominee-program

Do we have a Work from Home - Flex Work Policy?

• Most departments can accommodate work-from-home and flex work schedules, but we don't have a consistent policy; it varies by hiring manager, department, and job. To be eligible for our Flex Work Policy, you must be within 100 km of Regina. If this is a priority for you, please discuss it during the interview phase.

Who should I contact for technical issues with my application?

• Submit a Service Request to have your concern forwarded to the Talent Team.
