WBG YPP Hirevue Recorded Interview Preparation

The first stage of the WBG YPP interviews is the daunting Recorded Interview (also known as the Digital Interview), where candidates need to answer 4 questions in 18 minutes. Your answers will be automatically recorded by the HireVue program and will be sent to the Bank’s recruiters. This step is a very decisive one since the Bank’s recruiters will decide through it which candidates continue for the next phase of the process.

We care about each of our customers and make our best efforts to help them succeed in their challenges. We don’t want your dreams to halt because of unfortunate circumstances such as:

  • Many candidates fail for lack of confidence and poor articulation of ideas.
  • Several people don’t have a professional posture during interviews.
  • Being nervous is a common problem during interviews.
  • Technical questions can be a real challenge!
  • Without the appropriate feedback, you can’t correct mistakes that you don’t even realize you’re making!

But don’t worry! OpenIGO is here to help you in this phase of the interview stage! We have just released a brand-new product: the WBG YPP Recorded Interview Preparation!

With this, you will:

  • Receive 6 questions from our team, based on WBG YPP questions from recent years, to practice your digital recorded interview;
  • Get crucial feedback on your performance from our experts on the WBG YPP selection process;
  • Get the chance to correct mistakes that you don’t even realize you’re making!

Are you ready to get the preparation you need to succeed in this decisive step of your career?

I WANT TO SUCCEED IN THE DIGITAL INTERVIEW!

 

WBG YPP Mock Interview Services

The World Bank Group Young Professional Program (YPP) selection cycle includes an interview and assessment center phase, whose main aim is to find out more about the candidate, and analyze their knowledge, competences and experience.

It is widely understood and disseminated by the World Bank that the WBG YPP interview model is the behavioral event interview (BEI) but, in fact, it is mixed, combining this model with others: the traditional interview and the brain teaser interview (or puzzle interview).

Having a mock interview with a professional who has extensive experience and knowledge of the World Bank Group YPP interview and Assessment Center model will help you be better prepared for this phase, greatly increasing your chances of being selected for the desired vacancy. The WBG YPP mock interviews are held via Skype (preferably), WhatsApp, Facetime or Hangouts, conducted by an interview specialist and last around 60-80 minutes.

If you have arrived at this point in the selection process, you cannot afford to miss the opportunity for additional qualification. The value invested is nothing compared to the energy you have invested up until now, and with the benefits you will obtain when you are approved!

Why is it worth buying the mock interview?

  • On average, the interviewer (a professor with a PhD who is a specialist in the WBG YPP) spends approximately two hours reading all your documents and preparing a script to be used in your interview, plus around one hour in a mock interview with you.
  • It is extremely well evaluated by those who bought it. 100% of the mock interview clients evaluate the mock interview as 5/5.
  • Your satisfaction is guaranteed!

IFC Online Test Practice Packages

Are you applying for the 2023-2024 World Bank Group YPP through the IFC/MIGA Track?

The WBG YPP selection process comprises the following stages: an online application form, a technical review, a recorded interview, a competency-based interview, and an Assessment Center. As of 2020, for candidates being considered for IFC and MIGA placements, there is also a timed, computer-based financial test to evaluate applicants’ specific financial skills and knowledge, as well as a cognitive assessment.

To help you with this, we have prepared special packages that will thoroughly prepare you for the computer-based financial test, allowing you to perform successfully in this stage of the selection process.

The IFC Assessment tests are one of the most competitive stages of the WBG YPP: only a small percentage of candidates invited to take the exam are successful and move on to the final panel interview stage. Practicing is, therefore, crucial to pass this stage.

That is precisely why OpenIGO has assembled these preparation materials for you. We have already helped dozens of candidates start their international careers and we want you to become one of them!

In the IFC Online Test Practice, you will find all the necessary content to get prepared for the real examination IFC applies to their candidates!

OpenIGO offers 4 types of packages: IFC Online Test Practice Bronze Package, IFC Online Test Practice Silver Package, IFC Online Test Practice Gold Package and IFC Online Test Practice Diamond Package.

Service Review

We have MANY clients from all over the world who are now World Bank Group Young Professionals! Our satisfaction rate is really high!  96% of our clients would recommend our products and services to those who are WBG YPP selection process candidates.

Take a look at the results of a survey we carried out with our clients in 2018:

World Bank Group YPP

We have received a wide range of testimonials about our services. We have provided some of these below:

“The World Bank YPP selection process is arduous, emotional and long! So, do yourself a service and invest in the wonderful services provided by OpenIGO. Their ebook is extremely informative and a very easy read. Using it, I was able to put forth a strong application and made it all the way through to the interview in this very competitive selection process. The book helps you to familiarise yourself with the WBG, and guides you to be able to write the strongest essay, CV and dissertation abstracts possible, given its chapters dedicated to them. Having made it so far with their help, I signed on to the mock interview service, and likewise, was not disappointed! Getting stuck on the first question the interviewers asked me helped me to realise that I had not focused enough on the basics, and with this knowledge, I prepped more efficiently for the final few days before and I passed! Thanks to OpenIGO. To all those who will embark on this journey, invest well!”

“Great service! The mock interview and book significantly improved my performance at the interview”

“Very happy I heard about OpenIGO during my application proces, even though it was only once I started preparing for the interview/assessment stage. I doubted at first because of the cost, but I’m extremely happy I made the investment, because both the ebook and mock interview proved very useful. The mock interview was with two people who took almost 1,5 hours AND they came prepared, which is much more than the 40 mins I expected. Thanks a lot!”

“The mock interview was really useful. Particularly John Tude gave many advice which really help me to be more confident”.

“Definitely worth it. As someone who went in without a clear idea of what would be expected, the ebook and mock interview were incredibly informative. I particularly appreciated the feedback at the end”.

“The application review service was essential for me to go on to the next rounds and be interviewed by the YPP team.  It’s true I was not selected this time, but OpenIGO really helped me reach where I did in this competitive selection. Thank you to the OpenIGO team.”
