About Jakarta
Jakarta is a tropical metropolis on Java’s northern coast, shaped by Kota Tua, commercial corridors and an urban region. An economic and media centre, it combines Indonesian language, food culture and neighbourhood life with international business.
Daily routines depend heavily on location and traffic. MRT, commuter rail and TransJakarta improve selected journeys, yet travel across Greater Jakarta can still be long; heavy rain and flooding can affect mobility. Compare office address, transit links and services before choosing housing.
Jakarta is Indonesia’s leading international-organization market. The UN country team brings together 27 agencies, while the ASEAN Secretariat and permanent representatives accredited to ASEAN add regional-policy work. Careers span climate action, public health, development, preparedness, migration, gender equality and regional cooperation.

Working in Jakarta
Jakarta combines UN country offices, the ASEAN Secretariat and regional-policy networks. UN roles span Indonesia’s climate and energy transition, health, social policy, disaster preparedness, migration and digital development; ASEAN roles support regional cooperation. Strong applications identify the employer and geographic remit, then show results with government, civil-society, private-sector or regional partners.
Recruitment and appointments are employer-specific. WHO uses Stellis, UN agencies and partners use their own career platforms, and ASEAN Secretariat roles use its recruitment portal. Some ASEAN notices specify Indonesian or ASEAN-national eligibility and Indonesian work authorization. Check whether the role is international, national, local, consultancy, internship or temporary, then follow its English and Indonesian language fields, documents and conditions.

View UN hardship guideHow to apply for jobs in Jakarta
Jakarta brings together UN country offices, the ASEAN Secretariat and partner organizations, but no recruitment system. Identify the legal employer and whether a role is national or regional before preparing its profile, documents and assessment.
1Map the Jakarta employer and remit
Use Jakarta vacancies on IGO Jobs to compare the employer, function, contract and deadline. Establish whether the role sits with an UN country office, the ASEAN Secretariat, a regional liaison function or another organization. Read the stated geographic portfolio and travel expectations before shortlisting.
2Open the official recruitment platform
Select Apply now on IGO Jobs to reach the official notice. WHO uses Stellis; UN agencies and partners have separate career systems; the ASEAN Secretariat uses its own recruitment portal. Create the candidate profile named by the legal employer rather than assuming one account works everywhere.
3Check appointment, eligibility and languages
Identify whether the post is international, national, local, consultancy, internship, temporary or another arrangement. Check Indonesian or ASEAN-national eligibility, Indonesian work authorization, English and Indonesian requirements, education and experience conditions exactly as stated in the official notice.
4Tailor evidence to the mandate
Mirror the vacancy’s terminology and show results in climate action, energy transition, health, social policy, disaster preparedness, migration, digital development or regional cooperation. Demonstrate how you have worked with the relevant government, civil-society, private-sector or multi-country partners.
5Submit and confirm conditions before moving
Submit before the stated deadline, save the official notice and retain the confirmation. Prepare for written, technical or competency-based assessments. If selected, confirm the employer, contract category, office location, salary, relocation support, work authorization and any travel expectations before making commitments.

Jakarta Career FAQs
Which organizations recruit in Jakarta?
Jakarta hosts a 27-agency UN country team, including UNICEF, WHO, ILO, IOM, UNDP, UN Women, UNHCR, WFP and UNOPS, alongside the ASEAN Secretariat and other partners. Current hiring changes. The official notice identifies the employer, mandate, office and application route for each role.
Do I need Indonesian for a job in Jakarta?
English is common in international and ASEAN-facing work, while Indonesian is valuable or required for nationally connected positions and local partnerships. Requirements vary by employer, grade and portfolio. Treat the official vacancy’s required and desirable language fields as decisive.
Are all Jakarta roles based only in the city?
No. A Jakarta duty station can support Indonesia-wide programming, coordination with provinces or regional ASEAN cooperation. It does not automatically mean travel beyond the city or country. Read the portfolio, reporting line, travel and duty-station details in the official notice before applying.
Are all Jakarta vacancies internationally recruited?
No. Employers advertise international, national, local, consultancy, internship, temporary and other arrangements. ASEAN Secretariat positions can specify Indonesian or ASEAN-national eligibility and a right to work in Indonesia. Benefits and mobility depend on the employer and appointment, not Jakarta.
Is there one application portal for Jakarta organizations?
No. WHO uses Stellis, UN agencies use separate career platforms, and the ASEAN Secretariat has its own recruitment portal. Start from the official notice linked to the role, register only in the required system and retain the confirmation; an account with one employer does not transfer to another.
How long does Jakarta recruitment take?
There is no citywide rule. A selection can include eligibility screening, written or technical assessments, interviews, references and approvals. ASEAN, UN agencies and partner organizations set stages. Follow the notice and the legal employer’s communications for the authoritative timeline.
