The UN Job List provides currently available vacancies in the UN System in one easy to search database. For a quick overview over the current vacancies in the different organisations visit: http://unjoblist.org/lists/Organisation.
It has been a while since we reviewed the UN Job List vacancy statistics and now, in the beginning of 2008 it is time to look back at 2007 and see what organisation was the most active so far. So, looking at vacancies as collected by the UN Job List during the last few months (April 4th to January 5th 2008) the top 5 organisations are these:
- UNDP – United Nations Development Programme: 1532 vacancies
- WHO – World Health Organisation: 1154 vacancies
- UN DPKO – United Nations Department For Peace Keeping Operations: 879 vacancies
- UNOPS – United Nations Office for Project Services: 641 vacancies
- IFC – International Finance Corporation (World Bank Group): 291 vacancies
Also this time let’s have a look at the situation without open vacancies (you might recall that there are a lot of open DPKO vacancies which seem like they are not really getting filled):
- UNDP – United Nations Development Programme: 1532 vacancies
- WHO – World Health Organisation: 1154 vacancies
- UNOPS – United Nations Office for Project Services: 641 vacancies
- IFC – International Finance Corporation (World Bank Group): 291 vacancies
- UN DPKO – United Nations Department For Peace Keeping Operations: 218 vacancies
Also this time the usual disclaimer applies: The statistic includes organisations listed on the UN Job List. There are entities like WFP which are not included in the UN Job List statistics, since they recruit via rosters and do not have public vacancy announcements. Please keep in mind that the list is only considering externally open vacancies. The UN Job List does not know if and how many people have been hired on the vacancy announcements. For inquiries on individual openings, please contact the organisation directly.
