My application won’t submit or it tells me I need to complete required fields. What do I do?

If you are on the application, click on the "+" to "Expand All Sections" and verify that all required fields are complete (marked with *). If there is a text box and the information is not applicable, just enter "N/A" or "Not Applicable" in the box. You may have to scroll down the page to see all questions.

When you are creating your account, make sure you click on the link to the data privacy statement and click accept.

If you are being prompted to enter dates, make sure you use the calendar pop up rather than entering dates into the box.

I am not able to enter a start or end date on my application or profile

Make sure you are using the calendar pop-up for the field and selecting the year before you select the day.  

Also, if it seems "stuck", try to click out of the date field into another field, then go back to the date field. You can also try to save your application, then go back in.

How do I create an alert to automatically send me jobs that match my interests?

Job alerts can be added or updated using the Create Alert button on job pages or under “Options” on the candidate profile page.

How do I know my application was received and that I applied successfully?

While we do require applicants to apply online, if you have a disability that requires reasonable accommodation for our application process, please call our disability accomodations hotline at 1-855-450-5521.

What if I don’t want to apply online or I do not have an email account?

CRH requires an email account for applying for a job. In most cases, communications will be sent to you via email. If you do not have an email address, you can obtain a free email account at Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail. If you choose to create a free email account, please do so at your own discretion and exercise appropriate security caution. We do not endorse, maintain, or secure Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail sites. 

Can I submit an application without applying for a specific job?

While it is always best to apply directly to a position, we welcome everyone to Join our Talent Community and create an account and a profile. Once you have a profile in our system, you can add your resume and other information. You will then be searchable by our recruiters in the database.

Do I need to re-apply each time I see a job that I'm interested in?

Yes. You need to apply directly for each job you are interested in, however much of your information will already be in the system, so applying the next time will be a much quicker process!

Can I submit different resumes and cover letters to different jobs that I apply to? 

Yes, you have the ability to attach a new resume and/or cover letter with each application you submit. After you click "Apply", you can use the delete (garbage pail) button on the resume and cover letter boxes to delete the existing document and add a new document ("+" sign) specific to that job.
