Senior Civil Service recruitment: candidate guide
A detailed guide for applicants interested in applying for a Senior Civil Service role with the Scottish Government.
Assessment framework
Success Profiles
From 1 October 2024, we adopted a new assessment framework called ‘Success Profiles’ which evaluates candidates against a range of criteria, using a variety of different assessment types.
The Success Profiles Framework is flexible and allows candidates to showcase their suitability for a role in different ways, helping us to identify the best candidate for the role and ensuring we meet our commitment to recruiting a diverse workforce.
We have published a guide for candidates which provides all of the information required to submit a successful application using Success Profiles.
