I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at United Nations (New York, NY)
Interview
If there is a short-term consultancy open and they need quick support, that's your best bet for getting hired. It's especially helpful if you're referred by someone internally, because short-term consultancies don't necessarily get posted on the organization's website or other hiring sites. This is also a way to bypass the typical JPO process and get a foot in the door if you're under 32.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at United Nations (Bangkok) in Dec 2016

It took me around 15 minutes via skype. The process is so fast, I got interview invitation just 5 days after submitting application form. The manager was not happy and patient. She gave me fast question and required me answer at the time, no time for thinking.
