    Be ready to move: World Bank decentralization and hiring

    More World Bank staff are moving into the field as part of the multilateral donor’s efforts to decentralize operations. For applicants, that means: Be ready to move as well.

    By Rolf Rosenkranz // 22 July 2011

    More World Bank staff are moving into the field as part of the multilateral donor’s efforts to decentralize operations. For applicants, that means: Be ready to move as well.

    That’s what World Bank Senior Recruitment Officer Roberto Amorosino suggests in this excerpt from our 1-hour webinar “Ask the Recruiter: Jobs with the World Bank,” recorded June 29. In this fourth edition of the popular Devex Career Webinar Series, Amorosino discusses World Bank hiring priorities, what makes an ideal job candidate, how to transition from the private sector, and many other burning questions posed directly by job seekers.
