In March 2022, the Access to Information and Privacy Communities Development Office (APCDO) launched its first external recruitment process that resulted in a pool of 167 candidates available for appointment across federal institutions.

Since then, APCDO launched five recruitment processes through the GC Digital Talent platform at the PM-01 to PM-05 levels. Over 5,500 applications were received, and as of March 2025, nearly 600 applicants were in the pools or were about to be. There are also six inventories for at-level deployments, secondments, or assignments (CR-04 to PM-05) with more than 1,400 candidates.
