Whether you are following a clear path toward a specific goal or exploring new possibilities, having a clear vision of what you want to be will make it easier to achieve success.

Next, visit our careers page and follow us on LinkedIn for regular updates about our company, culture, and what it’s like to part of our team. 

3. Explore and apply

  • Start exploring openings that align with your skills, experience, abilities, and career goals. If multiple roles catch your interest, we recommend focusing your application on your top choice first.  
  • When you click “Apply”, you will be directed to Workday, where you can either create a new profile to apply for a position or log in if you are a returning candidate. Completing your application will take approximately 10 to 20 minutes, depending on your experience and profile. 
  • After submitting your application, you will receive a confirmation email with access to the application tracker in your profile. If your skills don’t align with the role’s requirements, we will notify you. You can also check the status of your application at any time by logging into your account and visiting the “My Applications” section. 
  • We understand you’ll be eager for an update after applying, and keeping you informed throughout the recruitment process is a priority for us. We’re committed to providing you with the status of your application as quickly as possible. 

4. Join a virtual conversation with our recruitment team

  •  If your profile matches the requirements of the role you have applied for, our Talent Acquisition consultant will reach out for an initial conversation.
  • During this conversation, you should use this chance to discuss the opportunity and highlight what you bring to the role.
  • You should also ask questions and learn more about working at Sun Life. Our Talent Acquisition Consultant will be your primary point of contact, guiding you through the process, answering your questions, and providing feedback throughout the recruitment journey.

5. Interview with the hiring manager

  • At this stage, you will meet the hiring manager, who will take a deeper dive into your strengths, experiences and skills.
  •  You may also have the opportunity to meet team members or other stakeholders, giving you valuable insights into our culture, and ways of working.
  • Depending on the role, you might be asked to complete a technical or behavioral assessment as part of the process.

6. Reflect and determine next steps

After completing the interview stage, you will have the chance to reflect on the role and the opportunity to join our team. On our end, we will conduct a thorough review of your application and interview feedback. This may lead to an offer, but keep in mind that many Sun Life colleagues applied to multiple roles before finding the right fit. If your first application doesn’t result in an offer, we encourage you to explore and apply for other opportunities in the future.
