What is the status of my application for employment?

• All completed applications submitted by the closing deadline for an active recruitment will be reviewed as soon as possible (usually during the week following the closing).

• Generally within a few days after the interview, the top candidate is contacted by telephone and given a verbal offer of employment, which is followed up with a written employment offer.
