How Oleeo ATS Scores Civil Service CVs
The Civil Service uses Oleeo (accessed via Civil Service Jobs) to process all applications. Unlike commercial ATS systems that primarily score keyword density, Oleeo scores CVs against a structured marking scheme based on the Success Profiles Behaviours listed in the job advert.
Recruiters use Oleeo to apply a numerical score to each application. Each Behaviour is scored 0–4 based on the quality of STAR evidence provided. An application with no explicit behavioural evidence — even from a highly qualified candidate — will score 0 on those criteria and be sifted out automatically.
Our checker analyses your CV against the job description you paste, scores your behavioural keyword coverage, and flags gaps where STAR evidence is missing. Paste the full job advert including the Success Profiles section for the most accurate results.

Writing STAR Evidence for Civil Service ATS
Every work experience bullet point on a Civil Service CV should follow the STAR structure. Oleeo's marking scheme rewards evidence quality, not volume.
S — Situation
Set the context briefly: what was the challenge, problem, or opportunity? (1 sentence)
T — Task
What was your specific responsibility or objective? What were you asked to achieve?
A — Action
What did YOU specifically do? Use first person ("I led...", "I developed..."). This is the most important part.
R — Result
What was the measurable outcome? Quantify where possible (% improvement, £ saved, stakeholders engaged).
Common mistake
Most applicants write job descriptions, not STAR evidence. "Responsible for managing stakeholder communications" scores 0. Compare: "Led cross-departmental communications for a £12M IT programme, engaging 40+ senior stakeholders across 6 departments, resulting in Ministerial sign-off 2 months ahead of schedule." The second scores 3–4.
