Series consists of records created or assembled by the staff of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) Appointments unit. According to an internal training document drafted in 2009, the Appointments unit was involved in recruiting candidates to fill Governor in Council appointments in Crown corporations, boards, agencies or commissions; in succession planning; and in the selection of candidates (final check before Cabinet approval). The Appointments unit was led by the Director of Appointments, who made the final decision on recommended candidates going forward to Cabinet. Along with the Chief of Staff and Director of Personnel and Administration, the Director also made personnel decisions relating to the unit. Dave Penner served as the first director from 2006 until June 2010. Derek Vanstone succeeded him in July 2010, during which time the Appointments unit was briefly merged with Personnel and Administration in a unit called "Personnel, Administration and Appointments." Renze Nauta was the director from 2012 to 2015. A manager of appointments oversaw the day-to-day operations of the unit. The manager and other appointments staff were responsible for researching candidates and liaising with Ministers' Offices. Other participants in the appointments process included the PMO Communications unit, Ministers and their staff, Ministers' regional offices, and Caucus members.

Records in this series consist of, but are not limited to: a database and its user guide, research material, spreadsheets, CVs, emails, candidate lists, communications products, and material from the selection panels and ad hoc committees.

The series consists of the following five (5) sub-series: Candidate and Appointment Management; Lieutenant Governors and Territorial Commissioners; Senate; Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC); and Supreme Court.
