The Roster Membership

You took the pre-employment assessment, successfully passed the competency-based interview, and your references supported your candidature.  The congratulatory email arrives in your inbox informing you of your roster membership status for international field service- and/or professional-level position(s).  “Well-done!” you tell yourself.

You are hopeful and excited when you receive roster membership notifications. And since you are on a roster as a pre-approved candidate, you are invited to apply for positions, not once but twice, three times, etc. I think you know where I am going with this: close but no cigar.

Rejection – Do candidates stay positive, take it on the chin and remain steadfast with their job search efforts or throw up deuces and walk away?

Seriously, what are highly qualified individuals with many years of experience, and an excellent skill-set supposed to do after they have worked diligently to get their dream job; however, the letter of offer never arrives in their inbox. Do they call a “god-father/mother,’ travel to the location of the job to show seriousness for the position, stalk their social media connections, say their Three Hail Marys, or just chillax (chill out and relax) and wait? Or do they take rejection on the chin and remain steadfast with their job search effort or throw up deuces and walk away from their dreams?

I will digress for a moment

The Covid-19 pandemic is disrupting the lives of millions of people and businesses in every corner of the world. Global unemployment rates are the highest we have ever known. Not to our surprise, the two largest economies are fighting with each other. (Well, one country (USA) seems to be creating problems with many.) Will nations make peace with industries to continue funding NGOs, international, and aid organizations so that these organizations can help the most vulnerable populations around the world? We hope so!

Current Recruitment Process

The familiarities we once knew are no longer here. Will industries change recruitment practices?  Will, the pre-employment assessment/roster membership process, take a backseat to ensure rapid and efficient recruitment practices can get the millions of unemployed back in employment status and dispatch them to the field? Will the recruitment practices of people recommending qualified and skilled personnel for positions, resurface to help get the millions of unemployed workers employed again?

If you are an international job seeker and have similar recruitment experiences, please share your thoughts about pre-employment assessments, interviews, roster memberships, and recommendations.
