The Five Success Profiles Pillars

Civil Service recruitment uses its own framework. Each pillar needs evidence in a specific format.

Behaviours

STAR-format examples that demonstrate Civil Service behaviours like Making Effective Decisions and Working Together.

Strengths

Your natural motivations and what you enjoy. Strengths-based questions can't be pre-prepared — we help you identify yours.

Ability

Cognitive and numerical tests. We can't take the tests for you, but we help you present your results and readiness.

Experience

Relevant work history and achievements mapped directly to the Civil Service Competency Framework.

Technical

Professional qualifications, certifications, and specialist skills required for your role.
