HOW IT WORKS
The Temp Database is a place for managers to find candidates to fill urgent or upcoming vacancies they may have. It is also a place for CBC News to seek out candidates to apply for permanent positions.
We are encouraging Temps at the CBC and other experienced journalists to upload a profile here so that you can showcase your skills and experience.
When you sign up using the google form (on the blue bar to the left) you will be sent a copy of your responses and a URL which you can use to update your information as it changes. Save that URL for accessing your profile at any time. Additionally, you will be getting an email prompt every couple of weeks to review and update your profile details. In particular, we need you to keep your availability to work as current as possible. This way managers are not wasting time trying to reach you when you are not available.
If you have no updates, it is strongly recommended you still resubmit your profile by scrolling to the bottom of your form and hitting the green submit button because this creates an updated timestamp for your profile.
Failure to update your information means your profile is inactive and will be removed after we make several attempts to reach to you.
If you are no longer actively seeking work at CBC News, please email Temp-Project@cbc.ca to be removed from the database.
List of Contacts Across CBC News and Current Affairs (2024)
Temps are called in to work to replace permanent employees when they take a break for holidays or special projects etc. While Temps are employed at the CBC all year round, there are three main periods for Temp hiring:
Summer (early May-mid September)
Year end holiday break (early December-mid January)
Leading up to fiscal year end (early February-end of March)
If you are free to work during these times in particular it's best to get in touch with the hiring leaders in advance to let them know you are interested and available to work. Feel free to reach out to any of the leaders on the list as they are actively recruiting candidates to fill vacancies all the time.
