In practical terms this means that you are not eligible to apply for International Professional vacancies advertised in the country where you are national of.
  • Past application data and previously created applicant accounts are not migrated to this platform. Therefore, when applying for current vacancies, external applicants (not current UNHCR workforce members) should create a new account ("Sign In" on the top left corner >> Create account). Once successfully registered, you can start filling in your data and apply for vacancies.
  • Applications for vacancies advertised on UNHCR's old recruitment platform will be duly reviewed and processed in the old platform (but no data will be migrated to the new platform).

For Talent Pool / Evergreen candidates:

  • Past applications to Talent Pools have not been migrated to UNHCR's new recruitment platform.
  • As part of the transitional measures, candidates who were successfully accepted to a Talent Pool (now called Evergreens) have received e-mail instructions for re-submitting their application on UNHCR's new recruitment platform.
  • The Evergreens are advertised per grade/ level; candidates can apply to one or more levels. If meeting all eligibility criteria at the given level and subject to functional clearance (if applicable), candidates will be added to the relevant talent pool. Applications will be valid for one year, after which candidates can re-confirm their interest.
  • Evergreens are for sourcing candidates for Temporary Appointments (TAs). Candidates considering TA opportunities are recommended to keep an eye on the UNHCR Career website and apply once Evergreens are open for new applications (at the end of 2022).
  • For updating a previously submitted Evergreen application, please click on the "withdraw" button against the Profile and reapply. Note: the change(s) will apply only to the relevant profile. You will have to update all other profiles (if any) if your data (i.e. nationality, new BA/MA degree, new language skill) has changed.
