I was interviewed for a UN P-3 GJO (Roster) about 3 months ago and since then I haven't received any update.

I am wondering whether this is a good sign or if it is simply normal for the UN recruitment process to take this long. I also haven't been contacted for any background checks yet, although I am not sure whether background checks are usually conducted before or after roster inclusion decisions.

Is a long delay after the interview generally positive, negative, or neither?

Does the UN typically notify unsuccessful candidates earlier and keep successful candidates waiting longer?

Are reference checks or background checks even performed before roster inclusion, or only later when a candidate is selected for a specific position?

I would appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I interviewed about two months ago for a GJO roster vacancy with the United Nations and since then I haven’t received any update, rejection, or further communication.

For those who have gone through the UN recruitment process before, especially for GJO roster positions, how long did it usually take for you to hear back after the interview? Is a month of silence normal, or should I assume the process is still ongoing?

Would appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks.
