Background |
||||||||||||||||
UNDP is the UN Development Programme and works in more than 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. UNDP helps countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results. UNDP supports the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as they help shape global sustainable development. UNDP has a workforce of more than 18,000 personnel in country, regional and headquarters offices. The workforce includes national employees (85%) and international employees (15%). In 2019 The organization posted 4,800 job vacancies for internal and/or external candidates, and hired and onboarded 2,613 new employees, including 2,174 national employees (638 national officer/general service staff and 1,536 service contract holders) and 439 international professional staff. In addition, the organization reassigned/relocated 740 international professional staff within the organization. In May 2019 UNDP launched its new people strategy called People for 2030. The vision of People for 2030 is to:
The People for 2030 Strategy is driving the transformation of talent management in the Organization. A new competency framework, defining the knowledge, skills, and attributes needed for people within UNDP will be launched at the end of the year. In addition, a new framework for career development, as well as a new mobility and performance management policy have recently been launched. One of the key priorities is to transform recruitment to make the process more efficient and leaner, and to strengthen the quality of assessment and selection, including reducing the scope for subjectivity and bias in the process. As part of this transformation, the Office of Human Resources has established a Central Recruitment Unit (CRU) to support transformation of recruitment and provide recruitment services to UNDP central offices (for international professional and general service administrative positions), and a Talent Acquisition and Peoples Programmes Unit (TAPP) to support talent acquisition strategies, including UNDP’s employer value proposition, recruitment marketing, assessment and selection and on-boarding. In addition, TAPP is also responsible for managing young professionals and early talent programmes. In 2020, UNDP developed a Young Professionals Assessment and Selection Framework. It is the intention that this framework will offer a consistent and standardised approach to the assessment and selection of candidates for entry level positions across UNDP. The framework introduces an integrated and holistic approach to assessment and selection, aligned with UNDP’s strategic direction, key priorities, and aspirations for talent acquisition. Furthermore, the framework accentuates the candidate experience and UNDP’s brand as an employer of choice. The framework also introduces a more agile and flexible process by introducing a four stage-screening process; each stage applying relevant tools to provide reliable and valid data on candidates in a time efficient manner. The first stage focuses on screening for essential and desirable criteria. The second and third stages screen for high-potential competencies, and the final stage focuses on an in-depth assessment of core- and technical competencies. In the coming months, the framework will be rolled-out for selected young talent programmes, including among others the new UNDP Graduate Programme, and the Junior Professional Officers Programme. As a next step and building on the Young Professionals Assessment and Selection Framework, UNDP is seeking to 1) design a corporate assessement and selection feamework outlinig stratagies and approaches to be applied in the assessment of external and internal candidates for roles wit UNDP at international and national professional levels, separate stratagies and approaches should be applied to assess external and internal candidates, and 2) idnetify the most suitable tests ( including psychometric tests) and other assessment tools which could be used in the assessment of abilities and competences for different roles and levels. UNDP is looking for an experienced consultant to provide advisory support in these areas.
