Public service and non-government selection criteria which position you as the best candidate.

- A focus on brevity. No excess content or 'fluff'
- Responses addressed as per Work Capability and Band levels
- Adherence to business communication conventions
- Carefully selected examples from your experience
- Awareness of your state and federal requirements
- Research into legislation and methodology specific to your application
- Unlimited revisions
How We Write Your Selection Criteria
Writing selection criteria is all about adopting a systemic approach to the information gathering stage, accurately judging and selecting the best examples and then fleshing out structured responses which address each component of the question.
This means that regardless of your industry, the approach is always the same.
Over time we are seeing more selection criteria with requirements such as:
- 1 page statement of claims
- 1000 word statement of claims
- Address the major duties
- One page pitch
These are less straight forward, but the principle is the same. Develop the responses well, demonstrate your capabilities, avoid padding and emphasise your approach and actions above all else.
Working closely off the position description and within the application requirements, we develop strategic questions for you to answer either over the phone or through email (dependent on your strengths and preferences), which we use to develop the STAR, CAR or SOAR responses from.
For complex selection criteria responses we perform research into your industry, the company/organisation you are applying to and gain a comprehensive understanding of the responses required.
We have excellent understanding of the Capability Development Framework, the APS Work Levels and the general expectations per role and field.
