Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Check out the most common questions we've received about IDinsight.

We know that the application and hiring process inherently leaves candidates with some questions, so we have tried to answer some of the most common ones we receive. If you have questions about a role, hiring process, or your candidacy, you can also reach out to us directly at careers@idinsight.org  for additional information.

Are all roles on your website accepting applications?

Yes, if a role is listed under our current openings, we are still accepting applications and are yet to fill the opening. Please apply!

Why are there so many open roles at IDinsight?

Over the next few years, IDinsight aims to grow significantly and our project pipelines continue to expand in scope and size. We are hiring the best people to propel IDinsight forward. We are hiring across all of our teams and encourage exceptional leaders to apply.

How has IDinsight responded to COVID-19 from a hiring and employment perspective?

As an unprecedented global pandemic, COVID-19 has impacted our entire sector. IDinsight has worked to prioritize teammates’ safety and the safety of the communities we serve. Our regional responses to COVID-19 vary by region based on the current status of the pandemic in those locations. We have worked regularly with our internal public health task force to prioritize data-driven responses to the pandemic for teammates.

If a role is available across regions, should I apply to each regional opening?

Given IDinsight’s regional operations teams have different hiring needs at different times, we encourage you to apply to each regional opening that you are interested in. If you are solely interested in one regional location, you should only apply to that opening.

Do I have to have work authorization in the location where I’m interested in working? Will IDinsight be willing to sponsor a visa for me to work from an IDinsight office?

IDinsight sponsors work authorization for international workers in our primary regions of work (Africa and Asia). It is very rare that we hire for roles in the US, and for the overwhelming majority of US roles, we would not sponsor work visas. We indicate in the job description of an opening if candidates without work authorization can apply.

I’ve applied in previous years and wasn’t selected. Can I re-apply?

Yes! Historically we have hired many individuals who applied to IDinsight one year and didn’t receive an offer until a later application process. For strong candidates who may have applied before, we often encourage them to apply again once they have gained additional relevant experience.

Will you let me know if my candidacy is rejected?

We aim to always inform candidates of the status of their application based on our hiring timelines. However, due to the rolling nature of many of our open roles, we may not send out all final candidate communications until a role has closed.

Why don’t you publish the salary range on your openings?

Given that cost of living and salary norms vary greatly by region, it is difficult to set a “universal” salary range that’s applicable to our roles. We, therefore, do not include salary ranges in our job descriptions but aim to discuss salary expectations with candidates during the hiring process.

What benefits does IDinsight offer teammates?

We are proud to offer a comprehensive benefits package for all full-time teammates. Our benefits package includes robust health insurance, fully covered mental health benefits, generous paid-time-off policies, technology and wellness benefits, and more.
