The Hiring Request Form is a fundamental document in Canadian business operations, designed to standardize and control the hiring process across organizations. This form must be completed prior to initiating any recruitment activities, whether for new positions or replacements. It ensures compliance with Canadian employment legislation while incorporating necessary internal controls for budget management and workforce planning. The document typically requires multiple levels of approval and includes detailed information about the position, its business case, budget implications, and required qualifications. Organizations use this form to maintain consistent hiring practices, document decision-making processes, and create an audit trail for future reference. The form also helps ensure that all new positions align with organizational strategy and available resources.
