Senior Civil Servants: Recruitment
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many and what proportion of advertised senior civil service vacancies were open to external candidates since 4 July 2024.
Answered by Georgia Gould
Out of 72 Senior Civil Service vacancies advertised on CS Jobs since 4 July 2024, 59 were open to external candidates. A portion of SCS roles might not be advertised on Civil Service Jobs, due to departments using alternative recruitment platforms and the need to fill roles temporarily or at pace, by exception. Information is not held centrally on these roles.
