Selection Process

The selection process can vary based on the vacancy type or recruitment program.

  • Applications usually receive an initial review within a week of the vacancy closing date.
  • If the hiring department expresses interest in your application, you may be invited to a preliminary interview, which could be in-person, by phone, online, or by video using HireVue.
  • Final interviews are typically conducted in Washington, D.C. and normally consist of a panel interview. Additional assessments such as testing your written communication or specific computer skills maybe included for some vacancies.
  • Applications to program-related vacancies (e.g. Economist Program, Research Assistant Program, Mid-Career Economist, and Fund Internship Program) are reviewed on a rolling basis and could include additional assessment steps.
  • You can review the status of your application in the job portal by logging into My Jobs and selecting the Candidate Home’ tab in the upper right of the page. Only candidates invited for interviews will be contacted.
