High-paying jobs in Montreal seem to be popping up all over the place these days. For any HR staffers who secretly wish they were James Bond, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) is now hiring. The positions are in the agency's human resources department and some are right here in Montreal. They don't even require a university degree.

"We're hiring a range of human resources positions, from advisors to officers, in Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto!" the CSIS tweeted on April 11. "As an HR professional at CSIS, you'll contribute directly to our mission and can advance your career in a unique HR environment."

They're not kidding when they call it a "unique environment." While HR responsibilities are fairly standardized across industries, this will likely be the first time some applicants are considered for Enhanced Top Secret security clearance from the Canadian government.

This means that in order to be hired, aside from the standard interview process, applicants must agree to "a security interview, a polygraph, and a background investigation that includes credit and financial verifications."

Assuming that didn't scare you off, here are the positions that CSIS is looking to fill.

Location: Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto

Who should apply: Those with "experience in the application of Human Resources policies." An education in HR or a related field is an asset. An undergraduate degree, college diploma, or HR certification is required.
