What Is the Senior Executive Service:
and Why Is the Application So Demanding?

The Senior Executive Service (SES) represents the apex of the federal civilian workforce, the leadership corps that manages the government's most critical programs. Fewer than 9,000 SES positions exist across the entire executive branch, making it one of the most competitive career tracks in any sector.

At the heart of every SES application are the Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) — five leadership competencies, updated by OPM in 2025, that you must demonstrate through your 2-page federal resume using the CCAR format (Context, Challenge, Action, Result). Each submission is reviewed by an OPM Qualifications Review Board and must meet exacting standards to earn a Best Qualified rating.

Many highly qualified senior leaders fail the SES process, not because of their record, but because of how it's communicated. ClearPointHCO bridges that gap. We write every ECQ from scratch, developed entirely from your career history through our executive discovery process. No templates. No recycled narratives. Your story, built to pass QRB review.

Whether you're applying for your first SES position or have drafts that need professional transformation, we build your complete SES package strategically, compellingly, and fully OPM compliant.

ECQ 1
Commitment to the Rule of Law
Knowledge of the American governmental structure and demonstrated dedication to constitutional principles and nonpartisan public service.
ECQ 2
Driving Efficiency
Strategically cutting wasteful spending and pursuing efficiency through process and technological upgrades.
ECQ 3
Merit and Competence
Technical knowledge and the demonstrated ability to reliably produce work of exceptional quality.
ECQ 4
Leading People
Team building, conflict management, leveraging diversity, and developing the workforce you lead.
ECQ 5
Achieving Results
Individual and organizational results delivery, aligned to the goals set by agency leadership.

// What Our Clients Say

Senior Leaders Who Trusted ClearPointHCO

"I had 28 years of federal service and couldn't crack the SES process on my own. ClearPointHCO took my career and turned it into a compelling narrative. I received Best Qualified on my first submission."

MR
M. Reynolds
SES Appointee, Dept. of Defense

// Frequently Asked Questions

SES Writing Questions Answered

Are the ECQs written from scratch or edited from what I provide?+
Both options are available and priced accordingly. In most cases we develop ECQs entirely from scratch through our executive discovery process, meaning we interview you in depth, extract your strongest leadership examples, and write original narratives from the ground up. If you have existing drafts you'd like professionally transformed rather than started fresh, we offer enhancement at an adjusted investment. We confirm which approach fits your situation on your free strategy call.
What does "starting investment" mean on Bundle 2 and Bundle 3?+
The starting price reflects full ECQ development from scratch. If your ECQs are being enhanced or refined from near-complete existing drafts, the investment adjusts downward. We confirm your exact price within minutes on your free 15-minute strategy call. There are no surprises after that conversation.
How is a 2-page SES resume different from a standard federal resume?+
The OPM now requires a 2-page maximum for federal resumes. For SES candidates, this means every line must carry strategic weight, demonstrating executive-level scope, scale, and impact with no filler. Our SES resumes are not compressed versions of longer documents. They are purpose-built from scratch to communicate the most powerful version of your executive record within the current 2-page standard.
Do I need a specific job announcement to get started?+
A specific USAJOBS announcement is helpful for tailoring TQs and keyword optimization, but it is not required to begin. We develop ECQs and your resume to be broadly competitive across SES positions and refine for specific announcements as needed. We recommend having at least one target position in mind, but we work with you at whatever stage you're at.
What if my announcement requires more than 3 TQ statements?+
Many SES announcements require 4–6 Technical Qualifications. Additional TQs beyond the bundle scope are available as an add-on, priced per statement. Mention your specific announcement on your strategy call and we'll confirm the full scope and investment upfront before you order.
How long does the process take, and is rush delivery available?+
Standard turnaround is 10–14 business days from the completion of your executive discovery consultation. Rush services are available for 48-hour and 5-day expedited delivery at an additional fee. Call us at 1-800-596-8961 before placing your order to confirm rush availability for your timeline.
