Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

The candidate profile is a key document in the recruitment of UN Volunteers. It is a key method for sharing candidate information with host entities to inform their recruitment decisions. The current PDF template needs an upgrade in terms of readability, content and overall design. The design will be used for all downloads of profiles across UVP and assist UNV it its work to recruit exceptional talent across the globe.

UNV would like to improve the look and usability of the candidate profile document that is exported from UVP to PDF. UVP creates these documents based on rendering HTML code and inputs the text information contained in the candidate profile. The design should be simple and clean and allow greater readability of the content. The UVP development team will attempt to replicate the target design in the UVP templating engine.

UNV will provide the updated content for the document by email and a brief on the UVP platform. Draft designs can be submitted for review and feedback and the eventual final design will be shared with the UVP development team to be implemented. Any technical constraints will be shared with the designer in consultation with the development team and UNV team.
