In this blog post, Henrik Ryden (COO at Impactpool) shares his collected meeting minutes from several of his recent meetings with International Organizations. “I have been speaking to several recruiters around the world preparing for mass-recruitments. Regretebly, the mindset is not collaboration around the talents, instead all organizations want to be the first one ready attracting talents as soon as the COVAX initiative is launched” says Henrik. 

"This week alone I have spoken to recruiters from WHO, IFAD, FAO, WFP, UPU, UNOCHA, UN Women, Action Against Hunger, and a few more. The constant interaction with recruiters from different organizations provides me unique insights into the talent and diversity needs out there. For the past few weeks, a lot of these discussions have been related to the COVAX initiative. The forecasted talent needed to fairly distribute the Covid-19 vaccine, will require large recruitment efforts" - Henrik.

We share 11 professional areas that are forecasted to be the most urgently in demand as soon as the COVAX initiative is launched. Some are recruited locally, but others internationally.
