Hello everyone!

Last night I received an official email telling me that I was not selected for the P4 position. So now only the P3 pending for the background reference check 🙂

Thanks for the update. Those who did language tests like myself are yet to get feedback. What criteria do they use to select? Do you qualifies for P4? I guess they select on available or projected vacancies.

Aah, could be the last steps into entering you into the pool so they are cleaning up your applications. 

Had all your references reverted back yet? Including the schools?

Do they ask references from degree issuing colleges only or even those professional certifications? 

Wishing you the best of luck JBA.

The deadline to send all the information was the 25th of September so I guess they will start to contact schools and references from now. They are notifying in their email that the entire background check etc. will end on the 27 November 2023. let's see, As soon as I have some news I will share it with you guys!

For the school backgrounds, I sent only the higher diploma background check. But there is also a table to fill up for those who have more than one certification.

Cheers!

Hello everyone!

New update, I just received an email for "Info for Background Checks due Monday, September 25 - WFP FIT Pool".

Academic verification and Professional reference check (form the 3 last direct supervisor)

Cheers!

Hello 

I did also receive same email asking for info for background checks, mine was due on 27th of September. 

I have now provided them with the requirements but I think they are still gathering infos from candidates, have not yet started contacting references nor universities. They said they will copy the candidates when emailing the universities. 

Thing is I have multiple degrees, all from UNESCO-recognized institutions but 2 out of 3 universities I have attended don't use professional email addresses 🙈. So for those universities, I have included their physical addresses, I hope that won't hurt in any way. 

Gud luck guys🤞

Congratulations on the step you have moved.  I am still waiting to know if I passed the language test. They have not communicated. They only changed dates in the status.

Thank you bro 

I wish you have passed it. 2months+ remaining in their process time-frame, I think everything is possible.

Did you yet receive any notification from them sending mail to your university or did any of your references tell you if she/he was contacted by devex? 

Nothing form my side so far

Actually, they wrote to my university putting me in CC and attaching my master's degree and the form authorizing the university to communicate my diploma to the WFP recruitment team.

I have seen the exchange between my university and WFP... next step for me is the 3 referees' feedback! I didn't here from them yet.

Cheers 🙂

Okay, that's great, quick response form the university releases some pressure 😊

Not yet for me, I guess that's because they have first to determine which degree to verify. 

Anyway if they have decided to verify my MSc degree obtained from a University where professional email addresses are not in use, I guess I won't see any email and in that case I don't know how they will proceed with the verification, maybe through a physical correspondence.

Sorry bro, 

P2 is okay to start, the most important is to get in there and start making the impact you want to make serving humanity. And as time goes, you will be able to climb up in the ranks.

Thank you. Which level were you interviewed? still waiting panel interview invitation. Could be they are concluding the cohort who were not subjected to language tests. Did you applied for one position only?

I was interviewed for P2. Yeah I applied only for P2 but I said I would like to be considered for higher levels. According to what I have read, the panel will advocate at the end if I'm worth higher levels or not.

Heloo everyone! How are you doing?

I am still in the process of background check, They asked first my university to certified my master degree then when they have got the confirmation they wrote to my 3 references. From my understanding everybody replied in the 2 days after receiving the email. After 2 weeks, Devex wrote to the organisms that I am affiliated with in France for my membership. they did reply positively last week and Devex acknowledge the answer...

Now I believe I need to wait for the final decision! In the first email for background check they were mentioning November to finish all the process. Let's be patient 🙂

What about you guys any news to share?

Cheers,

JB

Thank you for updates and progress you have made so far. For my case, I was subjected to language test. So far, after the test, have seen 2 updates. One, they did some updates on P2 position and Two, I received email confirmation that I was not considered for P4 and P3 Positions. P2 still shows I will partake in next assessment phase. I haven't hared anyone who did language test like myself. Their is still hope though time is running out.

Cheers,

Hello sir, 

I am also still in the process, devex wrote to me few days ago to confirm that have gotten feedback form all my 3 references and that they have received official confirmation from my university. The added that they will get in touch with me in case further information is needed. 

The process will be closed on 27th of November. We only cross fingers and wait at this point.

That's so sad to read bro. All this time they kept the P2 position on, I was somehow sure that you passed it. I'm sorry man 😔. There are many roads to Rome, never forget this. 

Thank you

Hello guys I am in process for P3 & P4 for Engineer Officer and the last communication i had was September 30 where Devex asked me to provide some additional information regarding my membership status of engineering council. I also received the email that all the information required by them has been received. The deadline of the process as they mentioned was 13th November so I am just waiting for the final response. As my university and engineering council provide the verification through online portal so they dont need to contacted through email and my reference checks have been completed 

[Yaramoalla]

Hello guys, 

I have been interviewed for P3/P4 Procurement Officer back in July. I expected to have a reply within 3 months but no word since then. Did any one get anything from the recruiter? thanks 

[JBA]

Hello guys here below the last communication received from Devex:

"We have verified your degree successfully and completed your reference checks. We do not have any questions at this time, but we will inform you if we or WFP require any other information.

Regarding the next steps: please note that candidates will be notified of the results of their application accordingly at the end of the process, only after we have completed all the background checks for the entire pool. Once this is done, candidates will hear from either WFP or ourselves with the relevant updates."

Fingers crossed for the final decision!

Cheers 🙂

I just received the confirmation email that I have been selected for FIT Pool P3 Engineer Officer for a period of two years 

[JBA]

@AM313 congratulations to you! I received the same notification!

Question they are mentioning that they are expecting from us to take the first proposition, and refusing it could lead to an expulsion of the talent pool... Any thought on that?

Cheers
