The evaluation of applicants is a process that follows common standards within UN Secretariat.
To ensure a fair and predictable selection process it is clearly established how evaluations, assessments and interviews are conducted and recorded.
Which doesn’t mean that you will not find now and then some recruiter asking you questions in an interview that are completely outside the CBI procedure.
It happens and if you prepare your assessments and interviews you will greatly improve your chances to ace every question.
To speed up the process, the hiring manager can start analyzing applications while the job opening it’s still active.
This means checking if the applicant meets all or most of the requirements against the evaluation criteria in terms of:
- Academics
- Experience
- Language.
But, no assessment will start while the job opening it’s still active and the notification that all the eligible applicants are released to the Hiring Manager for evaluation.
During this preliminary evaluation each applicant will be reviewed and rated in the three before mentioned area: Academics, Experience, Language.
There is a template which allows a standard evaluation for all the applications, and next the most suitable applicants are invited to an assessment exercise by the Hiring Manager.
If you would meet the required qualifications but not the desired ones, you would still be on the long list, but only the candidates who fit also with the desirable qualifications will be on the short list.
The assessment might be in the form of:
- knowledge-based tests or other simulation exercise, and;
- competency-based interviews;
The assessment of applicants for positions involving significant functions in the management of financial, human and physical resources as well as information and communications technology shall also take into account the relevant criteria included in the job opening.
The Hiring Manager will keep records for the evaluation of applicants against the evaluation criteria with proper references to documents available.
The review should compare applicants against criteria not against one another.
Next, some words about the Assessment Panel. And after this we continue with the assessment methods.
