Methodology and editorial standards

UN Careersis an independent job-search service. We collect public vacancies from official employer career portals, normalize them into a consistent reading format, and send users back to the employer's own site to apply. We do not represent the United Nations or any listed organization.

Sources we use

Listings come from official career portals and public vacancy feeds run by United Nations agencies, funds, programmes and related international organizations. We do not import jobs from social posts, unverified third-party boards, reseller pages or private messages.

What we add

The original employer notice remains the authoritative source. Our work is to make the vacancy easier to discover and compare across a fragmented recruitment system:

• one searchable index across separate official portals;
• normalized organization, source, location, grade, contract type and deadline fields;
• cleaner reading pages with source attribution and a direct official apply link;
• filters, related roles, role hubs, source pages and location pages;
• original guides explaining UN grades, applications, contracts and recruitment safety.

Refresh and removal

The scraper runs daily. New postings are staged, checked and then ingested. Closed or expired roles are removed from the active sitemap and no longer receive JobPosting structured data. A closed role may remain reachable for context, but it is clearly marked closed and points users to current alternatives.

Quality rules

• Thin or incomplete job pages are kept out of the public sitemap and marked noindex.
• Low-value source or organization pages are not promoted as indexable landing pages.
• Every job page links to the official employer posting for application.
• We do not collect application documents or charge applicants.
• Advertising, when enabled, is separated from listings and application actions.

Corrections and takedowns

If a listing is inaccurate, stale, duplicated or should be removed, email contact@un-careers.site with the page URL and the official source URL. We review correction and removal requests promptly.

Important limits

Because employers can edit or close postings at any time, applicants should always confirm details on the official employer page before applying. See the Disclaimer for affiliation, accuracy and recruitment-fraud guidance.
