I think the Public Service in Canada also suffers from extremely opaque hiring practices. Unless you're aware of what they're looking for in a resume or the PS style cover letter, you're just sending in your resume to the void. FSWEP is the unofficial actual hiring route. Then the average time for a lot of hiring outside of getting "bridged in" is 9 months or more. Most people find that absurd. I do know some CCs and branches are trying to make changes but the PS in general is an absolute dinosaur for hiring and shows no signs of improving to match the bleed they'll have as people start retiring out.

> Then the average time for a lot of hiring outside of getting "bridged in" is 9 months or more I recall someone I hired had also applied for a government job while completing his degree. They called him back a little more than a year after. Of course, his salary out of college was 4x what they were offering but can you imagine what candidate the government ends up with? The people who are still looking for a job in tech a whole year after graduation…

Yeah I don't know what it's like going in the front door. I just sounded smart at a lunch with someone that worked for the Prime Ministers Office. When they were having trouble with something I got a really random email haha.
