Senior posts require solid managerial experience in a large commercial, governmental or international organization. After the closing date for applications, a shortlist of candidates is established based on the information received from applicants. Shortlisted candidates are interviewed.
Initial interviews are frequently by telephone.
Candidates under close consideration after the telephone interview are invited to Gaza for an interview. Employment and social references are obtained as part of the assessment process. Initial appointments are normally for one year subject to a one year probation period. Depending on the performance of the incumbent and the continuing need for the post, the contract may be extended. It is Agency policy to give full consideration to candidates with disabilities whose disability does not militate against the effective performance of the duties of the post.
