Our new recruitment process is set up to be faster and easier. Here is our timeline for the process over the next few months:

Step 1: 2016 Recruiting Step 1

During this time our Recruitment Team will be out at various community events to explain more about what we do at RMES. Watch for upcoming events and come see us where you can fill out our FastApp so we can contact you once the application intake closes. You can also fill out the FastApp on the website. If you change your mind, simply let us know when we contact you in September.

Step 2:

Upon completion of the application intake, the Recruitment Team will take time to review all of the applications and contact individuals we would like to invite to the next step.

Step 3:

The Meet & Greet sessions allow us to get to know you better. It also offers us the opportunity to go through what the rest of the process looks like, what our expectations are and how things will progress once you commence your training. It also gives you an opportunity to ask questions.

Applicants will be asked to bring a resume to this session (no certificates will be collected at this time).

These sessions will be offered September 19, 21 and 26 from 19:00-20:00. Individuals will then be contacted regarding an interview.

After a final review, successful applicants will be contacted with an offer for a position with RMES. At this stage, some final documents will be requested including a drivers abstract, criminal records check & medical evaluation from a physician. We ask that you do not get these documents until requested to ensure they are current and no unnecessary costs are accrued by you.
