Hello colleagues,
As many of you I also passed all tests to be included in the Fit pool (HR) and it has been more than 1 year that I am waiting for any sign from them.
The most disappointed part is that I participated and passed the selection also in the round 2018/2019 and during 2 years of waiting I received only 1 email to enquire if I was interested in joining an opportunity. My answer was obviously positive but after that I never received a reply anymore and my inclusion in the fit pool expired in March 2021.
I participated again in the selection during the year 2020 and now my inclusion in the fit pool is going to expire very soon in May 2022.
Frankly speaking, I already lost all hope to receive an offer, I only wonder where is the point in organizing 5 steps of selection, screening thousand of applications, interviewing people, doing background check, wasting their time and OUR time and then calling NONE of us.
Honestly, it s just ridiculous.
Sorry, just wanted to share my experience and vent, I know you can understand.

My best to all of you

Hey @Uhuru2020No update so far, radio silence!
Keep us updated on how things go on your side. 
Cheers

Hey Guys, 
Just checking to see if there any updates from HQ.
I am gonna write to them to check on how far with the pool feedback! I will let you know if they respond. 
 

Hello colleagues,
I hope you are all well.
I’ve been doing some research in the agencies and am afraid wfp probably have been one of the few not to utilize their pool even for short term gigs.
many of us are going to a year + in the Pool with no single invite to express interest. It’s amazing that they would spend all that money to recruit and fail to utilize us even in the very least.
It’s not all gloom, please look out for other agencies and continue to apply especially for the TA roles which are easier to come by.
The struggle continues.
Uhuru

That's a standard procedure - they will even complete conflict of interest - they will only contact referees much later if you are successful - that will be the tell-tell sign that you are joining the pool

It seems to be. You could be lucky though, deployment should be less predictable. 

Congrats @Uhuru2020; I know it has been quite a long journey for you. please update us once you get an offer from them.
