.
Q. Did you receive my résumé/application?
A. Shortly after you apply online, you will be sent an acknowledgement email stating the Town has received your application. This email confirms that your information is now in our system. If you do not receive this email, please re-apply.

Q. Can I fax or email you my résumé?

A. You only need to apply online. All applications need to be submitted through the Professional Opportunities section of www.richmondhill.ca so that your skills can be entered and made searchable in our database.

Q. If I apply for one position, will I be considered for other positions or do I need to apply to each job separately?

A. We encourage you to apply separately to all of the positions that interest you. It is also important to note that our recruiters conduct regular searches of our database as new opportunities become available, therefore once we have your information, you may be considered for positions you haven't formally applied to.

Q. Can I submit my résumé online without applying to a specific job?

A. Yes, you can submit your résumé to the Future Opportunities section of our site so that your skills can be entered into our database. Recruiters can then access your information as new positions arise.

Q. Can I contact the hiring manager or recruiter directly?

A. All candidates must exclusively use our online application tool. Our recruiters will review your application and be in touch with you if they have any questions about your background or experiences. The recruiters know about our current and upcoming vacancies and search our database regularly. If they find a match between an opportunity and your skill set, they will be in touch with you.

Q. I'm not sure if I'm really qualified for the position I'm interested in. How do I know if I should apply?

A. Our postings give an overview of the position, with bolded sections of text to help emphasize the type of skills and experience we're looking for. If you are sure that your background matches the posting, please submit your résumé.
