Interview Preparation
​Prior to the interview, we recommend that you review the job posting and think about the ways your experience relates to the posted position. Think of specific examples from your previous work, school or volunteer experiences that demonstrate  your strengths, skills, and qualifications, including examples that  have contributed to your personal growth.

Interview Process

Ordinarily the interview team will consist of two or more people. You will be asked standardized questions;  the interview team will make notes to assist them in remembering what you have said. During Covid-19 you may be invited to complete a digital interview. You will need a device with a microphone and webcam and a reliable internet connection.  

In some cases, you may be asked to return for an additional interview(s) with a different interview team.

One of the ways to succeed in an interview is to ensure you are prepared. We strongly encourage you to arrive 10 to 15 minutes prior to your scheduled interview time to collect your thoughts and to review your resume.  By planning to arrive early, you will minimize additional stressors that could arise in the event that you experience unexpected delays, such as traffic, finding an available parking space, getting lost, etc.

Ask us questions too!

The interview is your opportunity to learn more about the role and our Board. Your interview affords an opportunity for you  to see if you are a good fit for HDSB and, at the same time, provides you with  an opportunity to determine if HDSB is a good fit for you!
Be prepared to ask a question or two to help you better understand the position and/or the HDSB.​​

The Halton District School Board’s recruitment processes includes:

  • A review of applicants’ qualifications and experience
  • Standardized interview procedures
  • Behavioural based interview questions
  • Reference checks
  • Confirmation of credentials
  • Review of Criminal Background Check​ with vulnerable sector screen

Applicant testing and/or work sample exercises may be required.  We thank all applicants for their interest in opportunities with the Halton District School Board.  Contact will only be made with those who are shortlisted for an interview.​

Inclusive Recruitment & Hiring

Employment Equity
​
The Halton District School Board recognizes that, consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, employment practices and procedures at all levels should reflect, demonstrate understanding of and respond to a diverse population. The Board is committed to providing a workplace environment that is fair and equitable to all. 
​
In our efforts to ensure an inclusive, diverse and representative workforce, we will:
  • value, promote and encourage the hiring of staff from under-represented communities;
  • grant first consideration, where the skills, ability, and qualifications of the applicants are relatively equal, to applicants who self-identify as members of historically under-represented communities. Where a collective agreement or terms and conditions govern the hiring or promotional process, this will be done in a manner that is consistent with the School Board’s obligations.
 
Applicant Self Identification Questions:
As part of the recruitment and selection function, the HDSB will collect voluntary self identification data from applicants in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code, HDSB’s Teacher Hiring Practices Administrative Procedure, HDSB’s Employment Equity Policy and Ontario’s Anti Racism Data Standards.

Recruitment Accommodation:
In accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), the Halton District School Board strives to ensure that all recruiting processes are non-discriminatory and barrier-free.  

Additional information can be found in our Recruitment Accommodation administrative procedure.

If you require an accommodation, please advise a member of the staffing and recruiting team in advance of the scheduled interview or scheduled testing by calling 905-335-3663 or 1-888-618-3456.
Criminal Record Check

​​​The Halton District School Board has the responsibility, under the Education Act, to provide a safe and secure working and learning environment for students and employees.

The Board is in a position of trust with regard to students and must strive to protect their intellectual, physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The Halton District School Board will not employ or continue to employ persons who have criminal records and/or patterns of behaviour that may place students at risk.

New Employees

All offers of employment with the Board are conditional upon the applicant supplying an acceptable Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening. ​A ​Criminal Record Check is a document concerning an individual:

  • that was prepared by a police force or service from the national data on the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) database within six (6) months before the date the Board collects the document; and 
  • that contains information concerning the individual’s Personal Criminal History information on criminal offences of which the individual has been convicted under the Criminal Records Act (Canada) and for which a pardon under Section 4.1 of the Criminal Records Act (Canada) has not been issued or granted to the individual.

Returning Employees

If an individual terminates their employment with the Board and is then rehired within one (1) year of their original termination, the Human Resources Department will request completion of an Offence Declaration upon the date of rehire. If the date of rehire occurs beyond  one (1) year from the date of termination, the Board requires the employee to submit an acceptable Criminal Record Check.
