How to Apply for DGACM Jobs
Once you find a suitable DGACM vacancy on IGO Jobs or the DGACM careers page, submit your application through DGACM's official recruitment portal. Below is a guide on how to apply.
Official DGACM application route ↗1Identify the DGACM role and recruitment route
Start on the DGACM careers page and UN Careers. DGACM recruits both standard Secretariat positions and specialist language professionals. For translators, interpreters, editors, verbatim reporters and related roles, first determine whether the opportunity is a competitive examination, a global-register examination or a specific vacancy; these routes are not interchangeable.
2Read the functional and language requirements closely
Review the job notice or examination announcement in detail. Language opportunities identify the required main language, other working-language combinations, occupational specialization and eligibility rules. Non-language roles likewise specify the functional area, duty station, experience, education and competencies. Match your profile to the actual requirements rather than assuming fluency alone is sufficient.
3Use the correct official application channel
Competitive examination announcements for language positions are posted on UN Careers and set out how to apply. Standard DGACM vacancies use **Apply Now** and the Inspira recruitment platform. The Secretariat’s global roster examinations for language professionals are arranged as needed and advertised in Inspira, so monitor both official channels for the route relevant to your specialization.
4Complete and tailor your Inspira application
For an Inspira-based opportunity, create or update your account and complete every required section of the online application. Accurately record your education, professional experience, language skills, main language and any specialized conference-management expertise. Tailor the motivation statement and screening responses to the functions in the notice, such as translation, interpretation, meeting services or documentation.
5Submit before the stated deadline
Check the deadline, time zone, mandatory fields, declarations and requested attachments before final submission. Keep the job-opening or examination reference number and confirmation. Competitive language examinations are held only periodically, while other global-register opportunities may be announced as needed, so do not rely on an old notice or an unofficial social-media post.
6Prepare for the role-specific assessment
Language candidates may undertake a competitive or global-register examination in their stated language and specialization. Other DGACM applicants may be assessed through written exercises, technical tests, recorded video interviews, presentations or panel interviews. Prepare examples that demonstrate accuracy, multilingual judgment, client focus, planning ability and familiarity with high-volume conference work where relevant.
Recruitment safety: No. The United Nations does not charge an application, examination, interview, processing or training fee. Confirm that an opportunity is on UN Careers, Inspira or an official DGACM page before submitting personal information. Treat requests for payment, unofficial global-roster invitations or offer letters that cannot be verified as fraudulent.
