Qualifications

Canvassing

Canvassing refers to a candidate directly contacting an employer or hiring manager outside of the official application process. It is essential to understand the implications of canvassing, as it will result in a candidate being disqualified from a selection and appointment process.

What Is Canvassing?

• When a job is advertised, there are usually clear instructions on how to apply. If you bypass these guidelines and directly approach the employer – including via LinkedIn or any other social media, it can be seen as an attempt to influence the decision-making process in your favour.
• This behaviour is called canvassing and often results in your application being rejected.
• The application process aims to create a level playing field for all applicants, ensuring fairness.

To be clear, candidates must not:

• Knowingly or recklessly provide false information as part of their application.
• Canvass any person working in the CCPC by contacting them directly or through any social media platforms.
• Canvass any person involved in the CCPC selection and appointment process with or without inducements.
• Interfere with or compromise the recruitment process in any way.

Avoiding Canvassing:

• Follow the instructions: Always adhere to the application guidelines provided in the job advertisement.
• Don’t ruin your chances: Remember that canvassing will result in your application being removed from the process.
