Our recruitment framework: Success Profiles
At the Scottish Government, we use a recruitment framework called ‘Success Profiles’.
The Success Profile framework is a flexible system which assesses candidates against a range of elements using a variety of selection methods. This gives us the best possible chance of finding the right person for the job, driving up performance and improving diversity and inclusivity within our organisation.
We assess three key elements to identify the best candidate for the role, these are:
Not all elements are relevant to every role, so individual jobs will include a specific mix of elements to be assessed based on the requirements of the position.
This guide provides further information on each of the elements assessed including the level relating to the grade of the position.
