Recruiter insights: How to land a job with ICRC

BARCELONA — The International Committee of the Red Cross is undergoing a digital transformation that requires bringing new skill sets to the team. This is creating opportunities for professionals from other sectors, such as business and information technology, to find roles with the organization, in addition to seasoned humanitarians or development professionals who can demonstrate adaptability and negotiation skills.

But anyone applying to work for ICRC should have a strong understanding of the contexts where it operates and the challenges that come with this, said Audrey Forest Fonteneau, head of ICRC’s recruitment operations. She advised interested candidates to attend virtual career fairs and do their research.
