How do I know whether internationally trained workers have the skills I need if they do not have Canadian work experience?
Even if a candidate does not have Canadian work experience, there are many things that you can do during the hiring process to determine whether they have the skills you need. The assessment process for all candidates should be based on standardized criteria that accurately measure the skills required to do the job. Practical tips include asking candidates to describe past work experience or basing your selection on practical assessments. Professional credential assessment services can also help you determine the equivalents of international education and experience.
