UN would never give you a phone number though...

Did they ask you to bring money?

I do alot of recruitment both internationally and locally (have in mind that i dont work in Nigeria.)

It is not advisable to bring a potential staff from across the globe without any form of verbal contact, not even during the recruitment process?

Just to clarify why i think its a fraud, their emails have stopped going, all emails i sent bounced back and i had 4 email address i was contacting.

They did not ask me to pay for anything except for accommodation and they clearly stated that it was not mandatory and i can opt out of it if i am not interested. The additional cost that would have been incurred was for the medical examination which i am grateful i dint end up doing... e for pain me.

For those interested in the step by step process: i was sent the e-interview form to fill out, I submitted it, received acknowledgement email. A few weeks later i got an email with the offer letter (how convenient) and was asked to sign and submit.

I also received another email with the contract (5 years contract) breakdown of my salary(i wish), training program which was supposed to hold in 3 different months in Jan, Feb and March. Also, option to get accommodation. They sent the medical examination form which included taking some lab tests.

I submitted my details as requested i.e passport, photo, filled out a lot of forms which included H-3 form for visa for the training, even applied for visa for the country i was posted to.

My emails just dint go through anymore and no one made any effort to reach me. On this note, i hereby declare it a fraud.

So... after all this drama I did the right thing. Went to UN website and read up on their recruitment process which was far from what happened so I suggest you all apply through their website and ignore all these bogus claims from fraudulent people creating imaginary jobs for UN.

I am impressed by them though, very detailed and I wonder where they got their materials from, even handbook of over 100 pages � Detailed even got the UN headquarters' post code and all

I did my research, it is most likely fake.
UN's recruitment process is not so easy, there was no contact number just email communication which is very unlikely for any international recruitment.

In all, it was a well planned out scam and i am highly impressed that they put in so much effort, it was very well thought and i wonder what the end result was. I am worried because i gave them personal info but nothing else was lost.

I hope no one paid them money and i wish you all the best in your search.

I think you are mixing it up. Buck4love and dentrice. Buck4love applied for Human Resources UNSDN and did the e-interview and they have given her offer letter and processing other documents according to her she's at medical stage which is usually the last stage of recruitment. And dentrice on the other hand was given an offer letter by UNDP to resume training next year. So we need to know if UNSDN are calling Department by department because i sent a follow up email to them enquiring about the status of my application but i haven't been replied yet. So u can throw some light on there recruitment process if you are knowledgeable about that.
Thanks.

I got it, filled out the form, received the offer letter and processing other documents.

So far I haven't been asked to pay anything
