Recruiter insights: How to land a job with NORCAP

While part of the Norwegian Refugee Council, NORCAP operates in quite a different way from its parent organization. Established in 1991 to provide support to the UN Refugee Agency, NORCAP is now one of the largest providers of standby expertise and, through a roster, deploys personnel across the humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding sectors.

Last year, NORCAP recruited over 200 new experts, said Peder Apall-Olsen, head of recruitment and development unit at NORCAP. And with 300 individuals deployed at any one time, the range of opportunities means that the roster is a great way for professionals to work with different U.N. agencies and gain “varied and international exposure,” he said.
