Why it matters

Public sector roles are won on the statement.

In the NHS, local government and the charity sector, applications are won or lost on the supporting statement, not the CV. You have to evidence, against the person specification, that you can do the job.

We help you do exactly that, mapping every statement to the criteria and evidencing your real achievements, written by a recruiter who has read thousands of public sector applications.

Evidence against the spec, in your own words.
