hen the province was put under its very
first COVID-19 lockdown in March of
2020, the assumption of many Ontarians
was that it would be a temporary measure.
Those who could work from home did so,
thinking they would be back to work as usual in a matter of weeks.
Well over a year later the pandemic continues to be a very real,

for many of us. As more businesses closed and unemployment
continued to rise, Ontarians needed to adapt to a new way of
navigating the labour market. To fulfill this need, OSPE developed
a brand-new series of virtual events as a way of connecting the
very best candidates that the engineering profession had to offer,
with some of the top employers in the industry.

The basic premise is simple. Employers provide a form with
information on themselves and details on one or more of the
engineering roles they are recruiting for, along with a list of
three pre-interview questions for participants to go through. The
participants then have the opportunity to introduce themselves
to their prospective employer(s) by submitting their resume
and a short video recording of themselves answering the preinterview
questions. The platform allows employers to get far
greater insight into their candidates than a traditional resume
would allow. It also self-screens for higher quality candidates
as participants must first read each company's employer form,
research their opportunities, and make an introductory video
for each employer they apply to. This demand of time, skill
and commitment serves as a self screening process, and thus a
stronger pool of participants. In addition, it aids participants
