   No mention that they tried to match you without any success ? The last year thread indicated that the profile will be circulated in case any need arises

   I am so sorry to hear that mate. What was their justification? I hope you will process this .. I am sure that bigger and better things are waiting for you

   Just got the rejection email. It's well.
   

   There content reads:
   Thank you for your interest in the WBG Young Professionals Program (WBG YPP). After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that you have not been selected to move forward in the recruitment process.
   We would like you to know that our decision is a direct result of the program’s competitive selection process, and not a reflection of your abilities or accomplishments. We strongly encourage you to consider applying again, should you still meet eligibility requirements.

   I got a rejection too. Just want to thank you guys for sharing your experiences and thoughts throughout the application process. It was comforting to reach out to this forum.
   The optimist in me is hopeful for better things and good luck to all those who are starting as YPs. It is an incredible feat.

   We all got the same rejection email with the list of candidates in BCC. They didn’t even bother including our names.

   My question Is when do we get the link to apply to the next cohort? The email makes no mention of that.

   why would you want to apply to the next cohort after this excruciating ordeal? You best invest your time and mental health applying for other equally rewarding opportunities. After all the world bank is just another work place. It is not all rosy as it seems - if it was, they would be handling this process with efficiency.

   I totally agree, that was exhausting by all means

   Maybe that link is not as obvious as that one anonymous person said... Is it worth it anyway? Also, it’s rude that after a 14-month process the WBG just sent that generic group email to the people who were earlier told they had been “conditionally accepted.” They could do better than that.

    I found it almost laughable that after 14 months, the WB could not even have the courtesy to send emails to candidates that address them by name. Rather they just sent a faceless blind copied email, devoid of any humanity and devoid of any emotion or apology for the disastrous recruitment cycle that just happened. There was no acknowledgement whatsoever that the whole recruitment cycle was an example of how not to treat prospective employees! It was also hilarious that they told the candidates to reapply if eligible, well knowing that the applications closed a while ago. If a candidate went through the process and passed the interview and no offer was made, one wonders why that candidate would go through that process again with the same skill set that the WB VPs may still not need post interview. The post interview stage is quite hazy that it may be hard for candidates to decide if they want to go through that again.

    Overall, the WB could have done better with the recruitment cycle. Yes there was a pandemic in question but the pandemic not only applied to the WB. Other companies were still able to conduct recruitments in a dignifying manner and with respect to potential applicants. Nevertheless, the WB is still a fantastic place to work and this should not discourage anyone who has a passion for development and wants to have a career at the WB because it is actually an amazing place to work.

    Can those who applied last year share tips on technical interview and group assessments please?

    Any insights will help future cohort to prepare better.

    That link might not be a thing. Some anonymous person brought it up once in the past. No official communication from the WBG ever promised it or even mention it...

    Seems like a lot of people in the WB's HR team are OVERPAID. Can't even communicate well. So much for finding the best

    Everyone who was rejected at the last stage should bombard HR with emails asking for this elusive link! For the salary of over 200k they get annually, this incompetence should not be tolerated.
