Process OneHR clearance (OneHR clearance is triggered automatically after the UNHCR APRS completes HR and functional clearances in UVP.)
Effective from 1 February 2021, reference verification for all International volunteers deployed to UNHCR is done through OneHR. OneHR reference verification applies to only IUNV assignments with UNHCR.
OneHE reference verification is not applicable to International UN Youth Volunteers for whose where the assignment does not require a University degree. OneHR is not applicable to International University Youth UN Volunteer recruitments, since for University Youth completed university degree cannot be a requirement.
Effective from 15 July 2021, for all National UN Volunteers assignments with UNHCR, regular reference checks from UNV shall apply
UNV/OneHR can proceed with checks in parallel with the recruitment process instead of waiting for its outcome and risking losing candidates which negatively impacts on UNV’s as well as on UNHCR’s operations. However, no recruitment can be materialized without completed OneHR reference check (min. degree, required years of work experience and qualitative ref check, SEA/SH). In case of negative outcome of any further check (additional degree, further work experiences, etc.) completed after recruitment, UNV will take appropriate disciplinary action as per COS.
The DOA required degree and work experience can be verified first instead of verifying all degrees and 10 years of professional experience to allow the recruitment process to progress faster. OneHR will still do the exhaustive verification in a second stage. If only BA is required in the DOA then this is checked first and if the candidate indicated any further degrees on his/her application, checks will be done later. Focus on checking minimum degrees and relevant required work experiences first.
In the case of Fully Funded assignments, OneHR costs need to be absorbed by the UNHCR.
