Please fill in the Hiring request form as early as possible.
Most job categories are unionized and require following specific instructions on posting, compensation, offer letters, etc.
For each new hire, the admin office must review collective agreements and job descriptions to identify in which job category the proposed job description falls. Once identified, the posting and hiring process may take anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months to be completed. Keep in mind that immigration paperwork will most likely add to the delays.
Note that the complete hiring process (from recruitment to on-boarding) is now done through Workday.
For a complete list of unions and associations at McGill University, along with their respective Collective Agreements, please consult the Human Resources website.
