The mission of GDS is to build and champion a digital culture that puts the user first and delivers the best, low-cost public services possible.

Successful candidates should demonstrate the potential to: become future leaders of the civil service; understand and work in digital and technology corporate environments, delivering business change; and the ability to learn quickly and adapt. DaT Fast Stream candidates will proceed through the normal Fast Stream application process. This evaluates candidates' generalist skills and competencies, their ability to be high achievers and their future leadership potential. Following success at the Fast Stream Assessment Centre (FSAC), candidates will be invited to the final selection stage, typically known as a Final Selection Board. This is the only stage in the recruitment process where candidates will be tested on their ability to work in digital and technology environments. Government is not seeking to necessarily recruit specialists or those with existing technical skills but those with the ability to work across a broad range of digital and technology environments. Successful candidates will enter government at grade HEO (D) (equivalent to Band B1). The form of the assessment must be such that it rigorously assesses candidate's potential and aptitude for an early career in government digital and technology with a view to future leadership. The potential supplier must have knowledge of the assessment process at FSAC.
