Approach to recruitment
As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we are moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new interviewing method allows us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
