The United Nations Mutual Recognition of Rosters (UNMRR) interface tool is a technology solution provided under the mutual recognition initiative within the UN System Chief Executives Board for Coordination.

The objective of the UNMRR interface tool is to provide access to a broader, more diverse pool of pre-assessed candidates that are mutually recognized across the UN System for selection considerations. Organizations participating in the UNMRR gain more efficiencies in their recruitment, offer more opportunities for candidates, and promote inter-organizational mobility.

The UNMRR interface tool includes pre-assessed, i.e., rostered candidates who went through a competitive recruitment process that includes an independent compliance review mechanism in the participating UN organizations. Intended users are hiring managers and recruiters in the participating UN organizations.

The interface tool follows a simple design approach to ensure flexible use and easy integration into the participating UN organizations’ application systems regardless of the underlying software.

The interface tool allows hiring managers and recruiters to:

  1. search for potential candidates in the joint rosters by gender and nationality,
  2. review candidate profiles,
  3. communicate with candidates their job openings, and
  4. identify the UNMRR candidates in their applicant pool for selection considerations should they apply for their job openings.

Participating UN organizations may;

  • commit, if applicable, to supply their rostered candidates and consider those in the UNMRR for their job openings as pre-assessed and ready for selection.
  • decide on how to benefit from the pre-assessed candidate pool according to their needs, readiness, and recruitment processes and policies.
