To do this, you must complete your employment and education history (among other areas) and hit the “Release Profile” button. Given the volume of applications received, this is not a guarantee, however, that you will be contacted regarding all jobs for which you may be suitable.

ICC does not charge a fee at any stage of the recruitment process (application, interview meeting, processing, training or any other fees), nor will we request information about your bank account during recruiting. ICC is aware of various schemes, being circulated via e-mails, from Internet web sites, and via regular mail or fax, falsely stating that they are issued by or associated with ICC. These schemes may seek to extract money and in some cases personal details from the recipients of such correspondence. Such schemes are fraudulent.

The deadline for applications is determined by The Hague time (+01:00 GMT and not by your local time zone). If it has passed midnight in The Hague on the application close date, you will not be able to apply, regardless of the date and time in your current location.

When you apply for a job, the system will alert you with an onscreen confirmation and via an e-mail that your application has been received. If you do not receive an e-mail acknowledgement within 24 hours of submitting an application, your application may not have been received. To check, please log-in to the system and click on “Overview” and then “My Applications” in the ‘Employment Opportunities’ section. If the application does not appear in your “My Applications” list, it was not received and you should try again.

Only candidates who are seriously being considered for a post are contacted for an interview. Interviewed candidates will normally be advised of the outcome once the selection process has concluded. At all times, candidates may view the status of the vacancies they have applied for by clicking on “My Applications” in the ‘Employment Opportunities’ section.

No. The release of your profile is independent of your job application. Releasing your profile only means that recruiters can search for your information, while querying in the Talent Pool. If you wish not to make part of the Talent Pool, you should keep your profile locked.

The language field in your personal settings only refers to the language in the correspondence sent to you by the recruiters. That is to say, if you receive an email from us via eRecruitment, you will receive the email in the previously chosen language. If you want to change the language of the site, you must access eRecruitment from the ICC website and change to your preferred language.
