Finding a Public Sector role
The public sector is powered by purpose-driven people motivated by a sense of public service. We’re looking for skilled candidates to join our clients’ teams. As public sector recruitment specialists, our team works closely with organisations that make a difference across Scotland.
We welcome interest from candidates from both the public and private sector. We’re keen to hear from applicants experienced in professional support, policy, management and leadership positions.
A good cultural fit is particularly important within public sector organisations. Because we hire with long term partnerships in mind, we’ll only ever put you forward for roles where we believe you’ll thrive.
Once we’ve identified a role we think you’ll love, we’ll put you forward for assessment and help you get ready for interview. If you’re not successful initially, we’ll request feedback on your behalf, letting you adapt your approach for next time. Once you receive your job offer, we’ll help you negotiate your contract and make sure you settle comfortably into your new role.
If you’re ready for your next move, take a look at our live public sector roles. Or, upload your CV to be notified when a suitable vacancy goes live.
What our candidates say
Finding Public Sector talent
Filling roles in the public sector - particularly more senior roles - requires a strategic approach to recruitment. Your ideal candidate may not currently be looking for a new job and may not necessarily have public sector experience.
Our specialist Public Sector recruitment team can help you make fantastic new additions to your team. Communicating the benefits of your role - including the opportunity for meaningful work - will help to attract talented professionals. We’ll publicise your vacancy and talk to prospective candidates about your organisation’s values and purpose.
In addition to promoting your role, we’ll vet applicants, hold assessments, and help you create your shortlist. After that, we can support you with interviews and extend job offers on your behalf. We’ll also be there to help with onboarding, to make sure your new employee is comfortable in their new role.
Cultural fit is important in any organisation, but for the private sector it's essential. That’s why we take great care to get to know candidates before putting them forward for assessment and interview. We’ll make sure their motivations and goals align with your organisation, to ensure a strong working partnership.
