The interview process can take about one to three months (two months in average), with one to three interviews (screening, technical, and final interview). Communication is responsive whenever you have questions and queries.

The HOTOSM interview process typically begins with an initial screening call followed by multiple rounds of behavioral and technical interviews with staff members, sometimes including a case study or assignment. Candidates should prepare for questions on their motivations, technical skills (GIS, data, OpenStreetMap), experience with humanitarian work, and how they handle remote collaboration. The process can be lengthy, and follow-up is encouraged after the final interview.
