Nous ferons notre possible pour communiquer par courriel ou par téléphone avec tous les candidats pour leur faire part de notre décision. Mesures d’adaptation L’accessibilité est importante pour nous. N’hésitez pas à nous faire part de toute mesure d’adaptation (salles de réunion accessibles, sous-titres pour les entrevues virtuelles, etc.) dont vous pourriez avoir besoin pour participer sans entraves au processus d’entrevue. Nous avons hâte d’avoir de vos nouvelles! Exigences Linguistiques (Québec Seulement)
