Hiring Information for Supervisors & Managers

STEP I : HIRING

These documents will walk you through the process of hiring into a Designated Bilingual Position.

Please familiarize yourself first with the Recruitment Process to a DBP. It explains who does what and when.
All employees must be tested prior to hiring, and the Language Proficiency Testing Chart explains that process.
Provide the employee with the WRHA Language Testing Information Sheet.
To set up a test, you must fill in the Testing Request and return it to FLS.
Consult Hiring Principles document to guide you in your decision-making process.
Once an employee has been hired, we require the DBP Recruitment Results form so we can track filled and unfilled positions, follow up with the employee for orientation, and training if required.
