How National Career Service (NCS) relates to Elip
National Career Service (NCS) is an official government route, and for government roles and schemes you should use it directly. Elip works differently: it finds the roles that fit you, says why in your own history, and shows who inside each company already shares something with you. Many people use both: National Career Service (NCS) for public-sector openings and registrations, Elip so other suitable openings come to them.
