Recruitment with Success Profiles: Assessing Written Evidence

Overview

🕮 Cross Civil Service

Every recruitment process can generate a significant volume of written material; from CVs and covering letters through to personal statements and evidence of candidate behaviours. As a recruiter, being able to assess all these submissions in an objective manner is a vital part of running a fair and transparent selection process. It reduces the chances of strong candidates being lost along the way and maximises the likelihood of appointing the right person for the job.

This course is designed to show you how best to classify and evaluate the content of the written submissions provided by candidates. It reinforces the importance of having clear assessment criteria that draw upon the vacancy’s person specification. It will help you to standardise your assessment approach and deliver a fair and efficient appraisal of all written evidence.
