Home Office Challenges

The Home Office were having a tough time meeting recruitment objectives. They needed to increase the number of strong applications they received from outside of the Civil Service.

  • 1
    The existing application process was clunky and full of unnecessary jargon and information.
  • 2
    It wasn’t clear to people from outside of the Civil Service what the Home Office is responsible for and what it means to have a career in the Civil Service.
  • 3
    The Home Office often gets press / media coverage over highly emotive issues which can put off the types of candidates the Home Office really need.
