This partner will work closely with WIPO's recruitment team to increase outreach, simplify selection processes, ensure adherence to WIPO's rules and guidelines, and create a positive experience for everyone involved.In addition to refining current processes, WIPO is also looking to broaden its recruitment approach by incorporating behavior- and skills-based hiring. This shift moves beyond traditional methods, placing greater emphasis on evaluating candidates’ competencies and alignment with WIPO’s values and organizational needs.
