How a vacancy becomes an IGO Jobs listing.

IGO Jobs indexes active vacancies from international public-sector and mission-driven employers: UN Secretariat entities, UN funds and programmes, specialised agencies, international financial institutions, intergovernmental organisations, humanitarian organisations and selected international NGOs.

Coverage does not guarantee that every vacancy from every organisation will always appear. Employer pages can change, listings may be withdrawn, and some vacancies may not contain enough public information to publish confidently. The source register names the organisations currently covered, the standard cadence and the recorded agreement status.

Collection begins from each organisation’s official public careers page. Structured vacancy data exposed by that page may be used to read the same public information more reliably, but the employer-facing careers page remains the named source.

IGO Jobs retains sufficient source evidence to trace published information back to the employer notice. Optional employer fields remain empty when absent; they are not invented to make a card look complete.

IGO Jobs never infers an unpublished deadline, salary, grade, language requirement or duty station and presents it as employer-supplied. A small number of no-fixed-deadline sources may receive a clearly marked operational review date; it is not described as an application deadline.

IGO Jobs keeps employer publication dates separate from platform freshness dates. When an employer does not provide a date, the missing value is not silently presented as employer-supplied.

AI-assisted enrichment reads the collected vacancy notice under maintained editorial rules. It excludes generic recruitment boilerplate, preserves explicit requirements, leaves unsupported fields empty and produces a short factual summary rather than advice or promotional language.

1. 01

   Evidence pass

   Read the selected source listing’s full posting text and structured employer metadata.

2. 02

   Controlled output

   Apply fixed vocabularies for locations, grades, job areas, experience, position type and languages.

3. 03

   Validation gate

   Check status, completeness, taxonomy consistency, location logic, language evidence and application URL before publication.

Published records pass automated consistency checks. Samples are periodically reviewed by a human to identify improvements, while user-reported feedback, ambiguous evidence and flagged corrections inform both individual fixes and future quality rules.

The purpose of the match score is to make vacancy comparison more manageable and help users make better-informed decisions about where to focus their time. For signed-in users with a completed profile, IGO Jobs compares relevant profile information with the structured vacancy record. This can include experience, skills, languages, education, location preferences and preferred areas of work.

The comparison can surface areas of stronger alignment and flag possible gaps in stated requirements for closer review. These flags are prompts to check the official vacancy notice—not determinations of eligibility—and may not capture equivalent qualifications, transferable experience or information missing from a user’s profile.

Some profile and vacancy signals carry more influence than others. Their relative importance has been shaped by product testing and feedback gathered from more than 1,000 users, and may continue to evolve as the feature is evaluated and improved.

An estimated match score is not an employer assessment, an eligibility decision or a prediction of interview or selection. A lower score does not mean a person should not apply when they meet the official criteria, and a higher score does not replace careful review of the vacancy notice. It is best used as one directional signal alongside personal judgement and the employer’s published requirements.

IGO Jobs compares employer identifiers, official vacancy references, source destinations and core vacancy details to identify repeated records from the same or overlapping careers pages.

Matches must be supported by multiple consistent signals. If the evidence is weak, listings remain separate rather than risk merging two different roles.

Source listings are retained for operational history while useful. Expired published jobs keep their clean canonical record for saved jobs and application tracking, while old raw posting evidence may be purged.

Use Contact IGO Jobs and choose Information Correction. Include the IGO Jobs URL, the employer URL, the field that is wrong and, where possible, the correct wording shown by the employer. You can also email [email protected].

Correction requests are retained in the support workflow and applied changes are recorded internally. IGO Jobs does not currently publish a public, item-level correction ledger; this page will say so until one exists.
