This data includes only completed application forms on Civil Service Jobs. It does not include those started but not completed.
For any recruitment campaign a candidate must complete the application on Civil Service Jobs by the application deadline. If a candidate starts the initial application but does not complete it, this application will not be considered as part of the final sift of applications.
