Summary

As a centralised expert service, we gain the advantage of being at the centre of supporting departments future goals, whilst remaining independent of their daily activities. We support departments, functions and professions across government in recruiting for the skills that they need. Our work varies enormously as we flex between dealing with campaigns where we are searching for professionals in scarce or hard to recruit markets, through to campaigns that attract large volumes of applicants, and everything in between.

Given the diverse and developing needs of the Civil Service, our role really is crucial to getting the right people into the right place at the right time to deliver for Government. We are leading the way in our approach to recruitment and we specialise in creating great campaigns to attract and retain the best talent for our customers across Government. We really understand the pressures and challenges of recruiting and so provide as much support to vacancy holders as is needed to get it right and do it well.
