Applicant feedback
Last updated on June 29, 2026If you were unsuccessful in a job competition and want to know why, you can contact the hiring manager to request feedback on how you did in each stage of the process.
Feedback is usually provided through a meeting with the hiring manager. It is an opportunity for you to ask questions to understand where you did well and where you can improve for future competitions. It also helps you understand how decisions were made in the process.
When requesting feedback, be specific about what you would like to learn. For example, you might ask about your resume and screening results, your interview responses, or any assessments you completed. Your questions can help the hiring manager provide more targeted and useful information during your feedback conversation.
If you are a current employee of the BC Public Service who was unsuccessful in the competition, you may be eligible to request a staffing review.
