Not affiliated with HM Government
CS Interview Coach is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to HM Government, the Cabinet Office, the Civil Service Human Resources (CSHR) function, or HM Civil Service in any way. This is an independent commercial preparation service.
1. Independence from government
CS Interview Coach is operated by CS Interview Coach, a private sole trader. We have no formal relationship with any government department, arm's-length body, or public authority.
We are not part of the Civil Service and do not represent, speak for, or act on behalf of any public body. Any views expressed in our content, guides, or AI-generated feedback are those of the service, not of HM Government or the Civil Service.
If you are looking for official Civil Service recruitment guidance, visit the official Civil Service Jobs portal (civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk) or GOV.UK.
2. Use of the Civil Service Behaviours framework
The Civil Service Behaviours framework — including the behaviour names, definitions, and level descriptors — is published by HM Government under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (OGL) and constitutes Crown Copyright material.
We use this publicly published framework for educational and preparation purposes in accordance with the OGL. Our use of the framework does not imply endorsement or official accreditation by the Cabinet Office or CSHR.
The framework is reproduced faithfully for preparation purposes. Any errors or inaccuracies in our reproduction are unintentional — always refer to the official published framework for definitive wording.
3. AI-generated feedback
Interview feedback and scores generated by CS Interview Coach are produced by a large language model (Anthropic's Claude API). AI-generated content:
- Is guidance only and may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies.
- Does not constitute professional careers advice, HR advice, or an official assessment of your application.
- Should not be taken as a definitive measure of your interview readiness or your likelihood of success.
- Has not been reviewed or approved by the Civil Service, Cabinet Office, or any government body.
We have worked to align the scoring rubric with the published Civil Service Behaviours framework, but the AI is not infallible and its outputs should be treated as one data point among many in your preparation.
4. No guarantee of employment outcome
Using CS Interview Coach does not guarantee that you will:
- Pass any Civil Service interview or assessment
- Receive a job offer
- Achieve any particular score or grade outcome
Interview success depends on many factors beyond preparation, including the number of available positions, the quality of other candidates, and the judgement of the recruiting panel. We provide a preparation tool, not a guarantee.
See our Terms of Service (Section 10) for our full limitation of liability.
