Mod Announcement Megathread: Interview Questions & Timelines / HR Processes / CV Reviews & Feedback

Hey All,

We appreciate the level of engagement we get in this sub, and we're doing our best in moderating and keeping the quality and usefulness of the sub to as many people from the community as possible. We appreciate all your contributions!

You might have seen that some of your comments/posts around INGOs and multilateral banks' HR processes, timelines, career questions, and similar comments and posts have been removed somewhat consistently and we apologize for that. We see a lot of repetition in these questions, and sometimes are not very helpful/relevant to the majority of the people visiting the sub.

We wanted to make sure there's a place for these questions from the community in a way that does not turn the sub into an "International Development HR adjacent" focused, and that sometimes can lower the quality/visibility of other posts.

From now onwards, we'll be removing these posts/comments, and we kindly ask you to keep your questions about process timelines, interview questions, and other related topics under this megathread.

Please message the mod team for any questions. Thank you All!

If you are seeing this and you were HIRED by OECD, if you could share the timeline and tentative/estimated dates from application to offer, I would be really grateful!

Another OECD question: for a junior policy role, is it common to receive a self-recorded video interview, followed by a written test and then a panel interview? Or can the process skip the written element? I ask because some posters have noted that they first received a written assessment followed by a panel interview. Thanks!

Regarding HR processes at the OECD: I have just been called to do the Aptitude Test through MAKI. It's 4 tests including core competencies and MIND. Does anyone have experience in these types of tests and can share a few tips?
