Hiring Process

Recruitment and hiring of staff is the single most important human resource management activity.
Each recruitment process and decision represents a major investment of organizational resources, constitutes a long term liability and is a direct reflection on the organization’s reputation.
Each hire affects the performance of offices and defines UNDP’S credibility with stakeholders. In short, recruitment defines who we are and what we will accomplish.Extensive care has been placed in designing recruitment and hiring policies and processes so that HR managers and administrators, in a decentralized, global environment, can execute these critical business activities consistently at the highest level of quality and ethical standards appropriate to the work of UNDP and the principles of the United Nations.All recruitment and selection processes in UNDP are defined by five principles – competition, fairness, professional rigor and objectivity, transparency and accountability.
The principles and processes are applicable to the entire recruitment domain in UNDP. In general, the recruitment and hiring process at the United Nations Development Programme in Syria consists of the following steps:
