I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at World Bank Group in Feb 2021
Interview
Really disappointing process. I was invited for a first-round interview done on HireVue. The impersonal nature and ambiguous questions left a poor taste. The personality and aptitude questions at the end were done on a poorly designed app, the quality of which also reduced the score I was able to get. I was then invited for a second-round financial test. I was notified for both rounds with only a couple of days of notice. It has been months with no followup from IFC, and HR said they can't provide an update once I reached out.

1st round financial modeling test at Lagos office in Ikoyi. We were about 20, most of us who stayed in touch never heard back. I believe the recruitment was for West Africa so only had few overall slots for nigeria.
