First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at ILO.
Policy and Communications Intern
I got an email about an internship opening, even though I had applied for a different one earlier. The process was just the email with an interview invite and a reference request. The interview was short, about 20 minutes, and then I got the offer pretty quickly.

Intern
It wasn't a typical "tell me about yourself" kind of interview. It was a very structured 40-minute interview, mostly with situation-based questions. They were really friendly, and I actually had a great experience even though I didn't get the job.

M&E Officer
The interview process involved talking with the global team. It covered fundamental project knowledge and gender inclusion topics. Additionally, there were questions about technical skills, specifically Big Data, familiarity with the Microsoft environment, and basic M&E knowledge.
- What is your knowledge regarding gender inclusion?
- Can you share what you know about gender inclusion?
HR Manager
The interview process was quite drawn out, involving an assessment test that covered numerical and logical reasoning, followed by an in-tray exercise. Then, there was a panel interview, a meeting with the hiring manager, and also a meeting with peers. It was a long process overall, and I didn't get any feedback between the different stages.
