The OLG Recruitment Process
Learn more about our hiring process and what to expect.
- Once we have received your application, we will evaluate your experience and credentials. This may include a short phone screening process.
- Short-listed applicants will be contacted for in-person or virtual interviews. (Note: There may be multiple interviews at this stage of the hiring process.)
- Following your in-person or virtual interviews, you will be contacted with the hiring decision.
Due to the large number of applicants we receive for each position, we are unable to contact each applicant personally. All applicants who have been interviewed in-person or virtually will be contacted with the hiring decision.
Currently most of our interviews are conducted virtually. We will transition to in-person interviews where possible following public health and safety guidelines and OLG policy.
We use Microsoft Teams as our virtual interview platform.
When you are contacted for your interview, we will send a follow-up email with a Microsoft Teams meeting invitation link.
If you do not receive the invitation, please check your junk mail folder, or email the Talent Acquisition Team at [email protected].

Preparing For Your Interview
Follow these tips to help you prepare for your interview and help us to get to know each other.
Our interviews last about one hour and are conducted by the hiring manager and at least one other OLGer.
We will ask you a series of questions to help us get to know you. These questions could be skills-based, situational, or behavioural questions and tailored to the role you are applying to.
We understand that interviews can be a little stressful, so here is some advice to help you make a good impression.
- Be yourself. We want to get to know you!
- Ask questions. If you need clarification or more details, please don’t hesitate to ask.
- Take your time responding. If you need time to think about your answer, please do so without feeling rushed.
- Be on time. We want to make the most of our time together.
