We can help you navigate the public sector recruitment maze

If you’re searching for a role in local, state or federal government, you may need a fresh job-seeking approach. The public sector has its own hiring requirements. If your application and resume are off track, you could waste a valuable opportunity.
Federal government jobs exist in Canberra, as well as other major cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Departments include finance, foreign affairs, health, agriculture, jobs, environment, energy and veterans’ affairs. Many related government agencies also offer rich job prospects.

The recruitment process tends to be different in the public sector. Identification and selection of candidates is often done through panel assessment. In NSW, for instance, this could be via:
- Government contingent workforce panel
- Executive search panel
- Public sector capability framework
The NSW Public Sector Capability Framework sets out the knowledge, skills and abilities public sector employees are expected to demonstrate. Candidates will be matched against these key criteria.

Other state governments have equivalent criteria. These form a standard foundation for creating roles, hiring new staff and managing their ongoing performance.
