    Just to compare, Red Cross is able to give feedback after 1 month application dead line.

    I had interview for UNICEF in September 2016, after that I have heard nothing from them and their system still indicates that “application under review”. I even contacted that recruitment portal to check that but status stayed same. I also emailed one of the interviewers to ask what was the outcome but no reply. So soon this application under review will celebrate its two years birthday.
    How it is possible that big international companies are able to give feedback in reasonable time but UN common system seems to fail. Something is seriously wrong in process or they just do not care. Competition is high and they are able to pick up the best but that does not meant that they need to treat people this way. One strange thing is that they are never able to tell how many applications did they receive, that can not be a secret information.

    I always keep wondering about the transparency of the process and how slow it is.
    I have had success one time and got short temporary appointment and after that I have made many new applications. It makes me think that UN recruitment is not so efficient and there must be serious bureaucracy making things complicated. I just don’t understand how it is possible that more than a half year ago they gave open position and now months later they cancel it. Did need of that position vanish during recruitment process or did they use all the money?
    Why it is so difficult to keep people informed and do that in time. It would be nice to let those who don’t get into interviews or tests to know that they didn’t make it. I had interview with one UNICEF position and I asked how many applications did they get, and they can’t tell it. Why? Where is the openness, what harm does it do if public knows that there was 150 applications?
