Frequently asked questions

Why start from the person specification?

Shortlisters score your statement against it, criterion by criterion. An essential criterion you don't address usually counts as not met.

It missed a criterion. Why?

Adverts are formatted in many ways. The extractor finds bullet lists, Essential/Desirable headings and E/D columns; add anything it missed to your own list.
