The World Bank is hard to miss in international development: As one of the largest donors, it employs more than 10,000 from over 160 countries — two-thirds at its headquarters in Washington, D.C.
The bank hires full-time staff and temporary consultants in rapid speed — in fact, more than a dozen join the multilateral lender every day, most of them for short-term positions which are rarely advertised and often recruited without the Human Resources department’s help.
With its broad reach, competitive compensation and ample advancement opportunities, this U.N. specialized agency offers attractive career paths for those at the entry, mid and senior levels.
