UN Jobs and International Organizations

Search the catalog by role, organization, duty station, job area, grade, or experience level. Each vacancy page sets out the requirements, deadline, hiring organization, and original source. The apply action opens the organization’s own recruitment portal, where the application is actually submitted. Most UN entities require a complete profile in systems such as Inspira, Taleo, Workday, or their own careers portal rather than accepting a CV by email.

IGO Jobs covers current vacancies from the United Nations Secretariat, UN funds and programs, specialized agencies, intergovernmental organizations outside the UN system, multilateral development banks, and selected international institutions. Examples include UNICEF, UNDP, WHO, WFP, UNHCR, IOM, FAO, ILO, UNESCO, UNOPS, UN Women, UNFPA, the World Bank, IAEA, NATO, INTERPOL, CERN, and the ICRC. Coverage depends on an identifiable public careers source and active listings that can be checked.

No. IGO Jobs is an independent career platform and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the United Nations or any listed organization. Every active job page identifies its vacancy source, and applications are completed on the hiring organization’s recruitment platform. The original source remains authoritative for eligibility, required documents, deadlines, and final application status.

P grades (P-1 to P-5) are internationally recruited Professional posts, roughly from entry level to principal specialist. G grades (G-1 to G-7) are locally recruited General Service support roles. NO grades (NO-A to NO-E) are nationally recruited Professional Officer posts that normally require nationality of the duty-station country. D-1, D-2, ASG and USG are Director and senior leadership levels. Each grade has its own page with typical experience expectations and current vacancies.

UN common-system pay for Professional and Director staff combines a base salary set by grade and step with a duty-station post adjustment. Additional allowances can depend on dependents, hardship, mobility, and personal circumstances. General Service and National Officer salaries use local scales instead. When a vacancy publishes compensation, IGO Jobs shows that figure. For eligible P and D roles without a published salary, the site may provide a clearly labeled ICSC-based estimate rather than presenting it as employer-published pay.

Yes. Alongside fixed-term and temporary staff posts, the catalog covers internships and traineeships, individual consultancies and contractor assignments, UN Volunteer assignments, and remote or home-based roles. Position and contract-type filters help separate these paths because their eligibility, compensation, duration, and recruitment process can differ substantially.

Listings are collected regularly from identified careers sources, normalized into a consistent format, and checked for availability. A published closing date is used when the source provides one; an estimated date is never sent to Google as an official deadline. Expired vacancies leave the public job catalog and job sitemap, and their JobPosting structured data is removed under the site’s expiry rules.

Vacancies are sourced from identifiable public pages operated by hiring organizations or from a documented source associated with that organization. Each active job page includes source and verification information and links to the original vacancy when that link is available. The source register documents the organizations and portals covered, while the hiring organization’s page remains authoritative.

IGO Jobs preserves the source facts, then structures fields such as location, grade, contract type, work arrangement, experience level, education, languages, job areas, skills, and deadline when the source supports them. It also organizes responsibilities and requirements for easier comparison. Calculated context, including eligible UN salary estimates, post adjustment, hardship classification, market counts, and related jobs, is kept distinct from employer-published information. The full processing approach and its limitations are documented on the methodology page.
