International Committee of the Red Cross interview questions

About 10 days after the application, I received an invitation to proceed with language tests and information about the whole process. Directly after passing the language tests I was invited to book an HR interview on the available slots. During the HR interview I was told I would have feedback in a week, if positive there would be another, Technical, interview. If positive, the final stages would be medical and background checks and the matching of profile to position. The video-call interview lasted 1h, was conducted in English by 1 recruiter and had typical HR questions. The woman conducting the interview was somewhat strict but approachable. Not particularly friendly, but nor harsh. At the beggining I was asked to be concise in my answers and always give concrete examples. Some of the questions themes were: - knowledge about the ICRC (mission, areas of activity, very thoroughly), - motivation for this job, - personal profile, - response to certain kinds of situations, - leadership style, - adaptation to security contexts, - living with other people and colleagues, - perceived impact of this work on personal mental health, - stress and frustration coping mechanisms, - daily tasks/work of a delegate, - career plan - ... - bureaucratic questions, including use of social media to express opinions There were a lot of questions - many of them detailed - but none were particularly difficult. But it's an interview you should definitely prepare if you want to excel.

Malheureusement le processus de recrutement a été externalisé et ce sont des recruteurs externes "juniors" avec aucune expérience terrain et qui procèdent à l'entretien et ne posent pas des questions pertinentes au métier
