Applying to OIMAP

The file consists of a CV of no more than two pages, a one-page cover letter explaining the link between your background and the post, and a copy of your diplomas. For a lawyer or expert post, a list of publications may be attached.

Documents are submitted online, in PDF format, under the reference given in the vacancy. No paper documents are requested.

The Human Resources Directorate checks the admissibility of applications, then a panel of at least three people ranks them according to criteria published in the vacancy. A selected candidate is informed within four weeks of the closing date (indicative).

Unsuccessful applicants receive a reasoned reply on request.

The interview lasts about forty-five minutes, in person or by videoconference. It covers your background, motivation and a professional scenario. The test, written or practical, lasts two to three hours and assesses technical skills.

Candidates with disabilities may request adjustments to the tests when submitting their file.

A selection committee reaches its decision on the basis of the panel's scores. It proposes the selected candidate to the Secretary-General or to the director concerned, who makes the appointment. The contract offer states the grade, remuneration and start date.

For all recruitments, references and diplomas are verified before signature.

Panel members declare any link with a candidate and withdraw where necessary. No one may take part in the selection of a relative. These rules are set out in detail on the Conflicts of interest page.

A candidate who considers themselves wronged may refer the matter to the ethics officer, who handles the request in confidence.
