Therefore, we recommend that you log into your candidate profile using a personal desktop computer and upload your application files from a local folder.

While we do post on reputable external job boards/sites (i.e. LinkedIn, Indeed, Devex, Reliefweb, etc.), CRS does not outsource its recruitment process to any organization or agency which, through website postings, mass e-mail messages, newsletters or otherwise claims to be doing recruitment on its behalf.

Candidates are encouraged to go to the official CRS site to validate the posting, and only apply through the official CRS site only.

As a general practice, CRS does not engage external search firms and CRS does not accept unsolicited resumes from third party recruitment agencies. CRS will NOT pay a fee for any placement resulting from the receipt of an unsolicited resume and is not responsible for fees from recruiters or other agencies (except under specific written agreement with CRS).

Cover letters are a way to tell CRS more about your interest in and candidacy for a role. However, given the volume of applications, recruiters will focus on the relevant experience and skills listed on your CV/resume and the alignment with those listed in the job description.

If you include a cover letter, you will have an option to upload your resume, cover letter and other documents you may find important to share. Please note that after you submit your application you won't be able to upload a document, and it will have to be done manually.

Depending on the position, finalists may be invited to participate in an onsite interview as well. Every applicant receives a response from CRS, regardless of whether they are offered a position. However, non-successful applicants are only notified once the finalist has been identified.
