Selection Criteria and the STAR Method

At England CV, our HR Managers and Recruiters are experts and thoroughly trained in selection criteria writing. We use the proven “STAR” method to address all selection criteria, ensuring best practice compliance and effectiveness.

The STAR method stands for:

  • Situation,
  • Task,
  • Action
  • Result


We expertly apply the “STAR” methodology to each selection criterion, and if needed, our writers are also trained in the “SAO” (Situation, Action, Outcome) approach. Leveraging an HR professional to write your selection criteria offers a significant advantage, as they understand precisely what recruiters are looking for and how to tailor responses effectively.
