Our Recruitment Process

As an innovative organization, we pride ourselves on doing things differently here! We operate a mini search firm to source the very best talent so Arthritis Society Canada can do great things! 

• We're always on the lookout for exceptional talent to join our dynamic team. If your skills and experiences catch our eye, we might just reach out to you to explore the possibility of joining us in one of our exciting open roles.
• Jobs can also be applied for on our careers site or through approved recruitment channels such as LinkedIn and AFP.
• Once the application deadline has passed, HR will assess your application and contact you directly should your skills be a match for the job.
• Due to the large volume of applications received for every job, only those shortlisted will be contacted.
• If you require any accommodation during the recruitment process, please let us know, and we'll work with you to ensure you have the support you need.

• Shortlisted candidates will receive an invitation for an initial discussion. This is an opportunity for us to explore your interest in working with us and learn more about your background and skills to see if there is a fit. Be yourself - we just want to get to know you!
• This conversation lasts about 45 minutes, allowing time for your questions too.
• You may be asked to complete assessments or tests tailored to the role, so we can assess your skills and abilities.

• If you’ve decided you’d like to move forward, and we feel the same way, HR will extend an invitation for an interview. Our interviews always involve both HR and the Hiring Manager.
• Interviews will happen in-person at one of our offices or virtually using platforms like Microsoft Teams or Zoom. They are usually an hour in length.
• Depending on the role you are applying for, there may be multiple rounds of interview.

• Making a move to us is a big (and exciting!) career decision for you and for us and requires careful thought. HR will remain in close contact with you and let you know once a decision is made.
• If your application is successful, HR will contact you and provide you with a verbal offer, subject to receipt of satisfactory background checks. From there, you will be sent a formal offer to review and sign.
• If your application is not successful, we will contact you directly and let you know. We will keep your details on file for any jobs that open up. That is our commitment to you.

• If you accept our job offer, HR will work with you to map out your onboarding. This will be a rich and engaging learning experience and include resources such as a:
  • First Week Plan on a Page, to ensure your learning is paced and you meet the right people at the right time.
  • 30, 60 & 90-Day Plan, to guide your priorities and goals for your first 3 months and help you track progress.
  • Personal Operating Manuals / Relationship Guides, to set you up for a wonderful working relationship with your new colleagues.

• Congratulations and welcome to the Arthritis Society Canada! We're delighted that you've chosen to join us in our mission to fight the fire of arthritis!
