4.4. Sending Candidate Communications

You may communicate with the UNMRR candidates through the Interface Tool for targeted outreach, i.e., sharing your job opening(s) with the suitable candidates and encouraging them to apply should they be interested and available².

To do so,

1. Select the candidate(s) of interest, i.e., whose profile(s) indicate that they may be suitable for your job opening by checking the box next to their Organization column and click on Send Correspondence.
   
   
   
   
2. The communication will appear as sent from noreply-unmrr@un.org and the candidates will not be able to respond to you unless you put contact information in your message. If you want to receive a copy of the communication sent to the candidates either in your mailbox or in a generic mailbox, you may put the appropriate email address on the BCC line. Upon clicking on Send Correspondence, the confirmation will appear on the screen.
   
   
   
   
   
   Although all the candidates selected for communication appears in “TO” section, the messages will be triggered individually by the system and candidates will not see any other candidates who were sent the communication in the “TO” section.
   
   For candidate communications, you may use the draft template below prepared for the UNS users and revise it as you wish/applicable to your organization. The parts that will require modification as per the user in the draft are highlighted.

   Draft Outreach E-mail to the UNMRR Candidates
   
   [Subject line]: Job opportunity at the United Nations [or your organization name]
   
   Dear candidate,
   We would like to share with you the below job opportunity at the United Nations (UN) [or your organization name] that you might be interested in:
   
   [Link to the Job Opening]
   
   You are on a roster of candidates for positions with similar functions at the same level that is being shared across the UN organizations.
   
   If you wish to be considered for the position, we encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible through the UN Careers Page (https://careers.un.org/lbw/Home.aspx) [your organization system]. Please note that your inclusion on the mutually recognized roster does not guarantee your selection for the job opening you may apply. In your application, please indicate that you are a UNMRR candidate and list all your relevant experience and language skill(s) required by the position. Should you be not interested in this opportunity, you do not need to take any action.
   
   If your roster membership is with the UN Secretariat and at this time you are not available or not interested in similar positions at the same level at which you were rostered, you may place your roster membership on hold. To do this, log into your Inspira account, click on “Roster Memberships” and then click on “Put on Hold”.
   
   Should you be no longer interested in maintaining your UNMRR membership, you may opt out via the next email to be sent from UNMRR asking you to confirm your interest and availability.
   
   Thank you for considering the opportunity above.

3. To view the email you sent or all the previous emails sent to the candidates for targeted outreach, click on View Email Correspondence for the candidate of your interest.
   
   
   
   
   
   

Only candidates with “Active” UNMRR Status and confirmed interest should be contacted for the available job opportunities. Candidates whose interest reads as “No” should not be reached out to by hiring managers and recruiters.

² _Automated notifications of relevant job openings to the UNMRR candidates is not possible due to differences in systems used by the participating UN organizations. Therefore, a proactive, targeted outreach via the UNMRR interface tool is recommended.
