Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.
Context:
IOM and a multi-stakeholder consortium of partners is developing a voluntary certification system for international labour recruitment intermediaries, the International Recruitment Integrity System (IRIS). Once implemented, IRIS will enable businesses to better identify recruitment intermediaries who share their commitment to fair recruitment and labour practices and thereby bring transformative change to a part of the industry that has been linked to labour and human rights abuses in key labour migration corridors.
In the context of IRIS development, IOM will assist IKEA in assessing their selected Asian supply chains' compliance with ethical recruitment standards based on the IRIS Code of Conduct and the company's IWAY Standard that supports ethical recruitment of workers. The results of the assessment will be integrated into an action plan developed in collaboration with IKEA that will include recommendations and implementation steps aimed at securing the ethical recruitment of workers in Vietnam, but also scalable throughout IKEA's broader supply chains. The project will also involve delivery of follow up capacity building activities for IKEA labour recruiters that have undergone assessment during an earlier phase of the project.
Under the direct supervision of the Chief of Mission (CoM) in Vietnam, and in close coordination with Headquarters (HQs) in Geneva, Regional Office (RO) for Asia and the Pacific in Bangkok, and the relevant IOM missions included in this programme, the successful candidate will be responsible for assessing the recruitment activities within IKEA's suppliers in Vietnam, with the possibility to scale up throughout IKEA's broader supply chains and contribute to the IRIS certification systems.
