International Rescue Committee

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is one of the largest humanitarian agencies in the world, providing relief, rehabilitation and post-conflict reconstruction support to victims of oppression and violent conflict. IRC has worked for over seven decades and today is involved in over 25 conflict zones in the world. We address both the immediate, life saving needs of conflict affected people in an emergency and the reconstruction needs in post conflict societies.

Human Resources department recognizes that staff are an essential resource upon which the achievement of the IRC's objectives depend. As such we are committed to ensuring that the IRC is consistently staffed with people who have the necessary skills, personal qualities and levels of motivation to competently meet the objectives outlined by our Overseas Programs, Resettlement Programs, and Headquarters departments. We recognize the challenges staff face when trying to meet these objectives and the special circumstances in which IRC staff often work. In order to retain and invest in our highly qualified staff, we rely on team building, competitive compensation and benefits, trainings, strong employee relations and staff development. The products and services we produce are designed to effectively support and develop staff, to mitigate problems when possible and to preserve a dynamic and productive working environment.
