Working with IOM
IOM careers are rooted in a practical understanding of migration: people move for opportunity, safety, family, education, climate pressures and many other reasons, often through systems that can expose them to risk. The organization works with migrants and governments on immediate humanitarian needs and longer-term policy, so staff may support evacuation, health assessments, shelter, cash assistance and camp coordination in one context, and labour-mobility policy, reintegration, border-management capacity or migration data in another.
Why Work at IOM?
Address migration in real contexts
Support migrants and communities through humanitarian, policy, health and development work.
Turn mobility data into action
Use operational evidence to improve protection, preparedness and migration-governance decisions.
Partner across governments and communities
Build practical solutions with migrants, authorities, civil society and international organizations.
How to Apply for IOM Jobs
Once you find a suitable IOM vacancy on IGO Jobs or the IOM careers page, submit your application through IOM's official recruitment portal. Below is a guide on how to apply.
Official IOM application route ↗1Check the vacancy’s country, contract and eligibility conditions
Read the full notice before registering. IOM vacancies can be international, national or locally recruited and may be tied to a particular project or mission. Confirm the required language, education, experience, nationality or residency, travel and duty-station conditions rather than assuming eligibility from the job title.
2Register in IOM’s SAP e-Recruitment portal
Create a user account with your name, email address and password, then accept the portal’s Data Privacy and Accuracy Statement. IOM uses this consent to save and process information for applications, registration and talent management. Returning candidates can sign in to update their profile and search openings.
3Complete a truthful, current candidate profile
Enter personal data, education, employment history, skills and documents requested by the vacancy. IOM’s portal can retain a profile for future opportunities, so maintain it accurately; do not use stored information as an excuse to leave job-specific sections incomplete or out of date.
4Apply to the exact vacancy and tailor your evidence
Open the relevant posting and submit online. Link your accomplishments to the mission’s needs—for example migration health, displacement tracking, labour mobility, protection, border management or project delivery—and explain work with the partners and communities relevant to the role.
5Submit before the posting closes and retain the confirmation
Review mandatory fields, attachments and declarations before submission. Use the portal rather than email unless the official announcement expressly provides another route; some project-level local notices use a specified email and document list, which must be followed exactly.
6Prepare for selection and safeguarding checks
Shortlisted candidates may undertake written, technical or interview assessments suited to the role. Be ready to discuss operational judgement, partnership work, ethics and safeguarding. Recruitment is subject to the checks and clearances described in the particular notice; IOM does not charge a fee at any stage.
Recruitment safety: No. IOM states that it does not charge fees at any recruitment stage. Treat requests for money, banking details or a response outside a verifiable official vacancy with caution. Confirm the posting through IOM’s careers site and follow its published application instructions, especially where a local vacancy identifies a particular submission channel.

Frequently asked questions about IOM careers
Where do I apply for IOM jobs?+
Most IOM opportunities are managed through the official SAP e-Recruitment portal, where candidates create an account and apply online. The portal can also retain a profile for future matching opportunities. Follow the application route in the individual notice: a project-level national vacancy may specify an email and exact documents, while global postings use the online system.
What kinds of work does IOM offer?+
IOM roles span migration policy, humanitarian response, displacement tracking, migration health, protection, counter-trafficking, labour mobility, border management, resettlement, programme management and operational support. The organization also hires finance, HR, procurement, IT, security and communications professionals. The mission, country and project determine what a title means in practice.
Can I register with IOM without applying to an open role?+
Yes. IOM’s recruitment portal states that candidates who do not see a suitable opening may register their profile so the organization can contact them when an appropriate opportunity arises. Keep the information accurate, but do not assume registration is an application or replaces submitting to a specific vacancy before its deadline.
What should I emphasize in an IOM application?+
Use specific evidence of work relevant to the vacancy’s migration context: project results, partner coordination, humanitarian delivery, policy analysis, data responsibility, language capability and work with migrants or affected communities. Explain how you applied safeguarding, confidentiality and professional judgement. A generic international-development application will not show the mission-specific fit IOM needs.
Does IOM charge applicants a recruitment fee?+
No. IOM states that it does not charge fees at any recruitment stage. Treat requests for money, banking details or a response outside a verifiable official vacancy with caution. Confirm the posting through IOM’s careers site and follow its published application instructions, especially where a local vacancy identifies a particular submission channel.
