Success profiles: candidate guide

Information about the Success Profiles assessment framework used for recruitment across the Scottish Government, along with guidance on how to apply.


How we assess your application

Applications are assessed based on how well they meet the Success Profile criteria outlined in the job advert.

Here’s how your CV and Supporting Statement will be assessed:

  • your CV and Supporting Statement will be assessed as a whole
  • the panel assessing applications will look for evidence against each criteria stated in the advert across both your CV and Supporting Statement
  • once the panel have assessed all applications, they will be ranked in a merit order and candidates will be invited to the next stage depending on whether they meet the criteria
