There are several career option in U.N. & the recruitment procedure vary from Govt. channels (IAS, IFS etc.) and competitive exams.
A very useful guide is "A Guide to a Career with the United Nations" - unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unpan000153.pdf
Junior professionals and professionals are recruited through National Competitive Recruitment Examinations. The examinations are organised as a matter of priority in countries that are inadequately represented among the staff of the secretariat.

Fluency in either English or French is required. All those who meet these criteria and believe in the purposes and ideals of the United Nations are encouraged to apply.
