Our Recruitment Philosophy

Ensure Equal Opportunity
We are an equal opportunity employer. We accommodate people in all employment activities, including the recruitment process, based on the Ontario Human Rights Code (e.g. disability, religion, etc.). Accommodation must be timely and individualized to identify and remove any barriers that will keep an employee, or prospective employee, from participating equally in all aspects of employment.

Some examples of employment accommodation during the recruitment process for people with disabilities would be providing:

• alternate formats for written materials
• physical adjustments (chairs, workstations, keyboards, etc.)
• technical aids/assistive devices

Another type of accommodation would be moving an interview or testing date due to a religious holiday.

Hire Based on Merit
All our recruitment decisions are based on valid, practical and measurable approaches that ensure hiring on the basis of merit. This means hiring the candidate whose qualifications best meet the requirements to do the job.

Provide Broad Access
We are committed to providing broad access to employment opportunities so that diverse job seekers can apply to positions across Ontario and to ensuring our workforce represents the diverse communities we serve. There are no geographic restrictions on positions available to the public. In addition, we have targeted outreach and advertisements of job opportunities to various communities across Ontario.

Demonstrate our OPS values
Our recruitment process reflects our mission to serve the public interest and uphold the public’s trust. It demonstrates our commitment to our values of trust, fairness, diversity, excellence, creativity, collaboration, efficiency and responsiveness.
