I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at World Bank Group in May 2020
Interview
Applied in the early February and received interview invitation 3 months later. Went through 3 rounds online panel interviews within a month. I was promised to be informed within 1-2 weeks after the last round. However, I have been for 1 month without any updates. Then I happened to know from someone inside that they hired someone else but still no formal emails telling me that. The hiring process of the World Bank/IFC is always frustrating. Keeping your words and informing candidates timely your decision (given only few candidates can make to the last round) are not hard. Please value candidates’ efforts and time. Don’t just threw them an automatic reply 3 months after the interview saying you’re not considered.
