The Job Posting
1. Consider Revising your Area Hiring Criteria
- The job posting is generated by People Services based on your program’s Area Hiring Criteria.
- After reviewing the section on “Who is the Best Candidate for The Job?” you may wish to revise your Area Hiring Criteria.
- The process for doing so is outlined in the Collective Agreement, Appendix II, Part B, page 109. The key points are to focus on essential qualifications and to recognize equivalent qualifications.
2. Communicate Inclusivity Through Goals and Metrics
- People Services has developed the following statement, which appears on all VCC job postings: “At VCC, we respect and celebrate our differences, and are committed to the work of decolonization, accessibility, and inclusivity for all. Be a part of creating an inclusive community that provides equitable opportunities for Indigenous and diverse representation, participation, and success for everyone. We value lived experience and encourage applications from members of all groups experiencing barriers to equity. Come join the VCC community as we shape the future together.”
- Some organizations include diversity goals and metrics in their job postings. Information about VCC’s diversity goals and metrics are not yet available. You can help change this by advocating for the the collection of more demographic data, followed by the creation of goals to address underrepresentation.
3. Share the Posting Widely
- The posting will be shared on careers.vcc.ca. Promote your posting through social media with hashtags like #InclusiveWorkplace.
- Share the posting widely by email, especially to people with diverse networks.
- Share the job posting with community organizations that work with marginalized groups to ensure the opportunity reaches diverse audiences.
