How to Apply

Understand our process so you can prepare well.

At The PSC we want to hire the very best people.

To ensure this, we've instituted an innovative three step recruitment process that strives to remove as much unconscious bias as possible while ensuring that truly are hiring the best and the brightest.

Among other things, this means during the process we will not assess your CV until final round interviews to ensure we're recruiting the right people and not just the right CVs.

Step 1: Unbiased Online Assessment

A timed one hour problem-solving test which sets a high bar (we strongly recommend working through our sample questions), and a few short written (untimed) questions about why you’re interested in public services and The PSC. These are assessed anonymously by multiple reviewers.

Step 2: First Round Interviews

If your online application is successful we will invite you to interview. The main component is consulting case studies to see how you structure problems and work through them. We strongly recommend practising for this; there are lots of online resources available.

Step 3: Second Round Interviews

Final round interviews are similar but with more senior interviewers, including our Leadership Team. You'll also have an informal (unassessed) coffee conversation with a member of our team. Here, you can have a frank conversation to cover any questions you haven't had the chance to ask.
