A committed and diligent team is essential for an organization's success and efficiency. Therefore, when there is a vacancy that you struggle to fill with the right candidate, it becomes challenging to keep up with the work pace while also focusing on securing tenders and ongoing projects. In such cases, DevelopmentPeople can assist your organization in finding not just any individual, but the specific talent you need. Our recruitment process will be more efficient and potentially enjoyable with the help of two of our services, which we invite you to explore right now!
DevelopmentAid is a leading international enterprise that helps various stakeholders from the development cooperation sector to make the world better by offering business information for donor-funded development in various sectors ranging from agriculture to education.
Efficient recruitment is a crucial part of securing bids and completing projects. DevelopmentPeople addresses this need with its specialized teams of recruiters, consultants, and managers, catering to organizations in the sector. Our Talent Shortlist and Executive Search services are two tailored solutions available to you, and we'd like to provide some insights into these distinctive offerings.
Talent Shortlist
Talent Shortlist is an ideal platform for finding candidates who are interested and available for further evaluation based on a company's internal recruitment processes.
Our recruiters conduct a comprehensive search within the DevelopmentAid database, the largest available, containing over 130,000 profiles. Although many candidates have been reviewed, we have narrowed it down to three to five of the most qualified experts. The submission process adheres to a particular framework, enabling the client’s organization to effectively assess the application.

Looking for a CEO?
The Executive Search service offers a comprehensive recruitment solution aimed at filling permanent senior C-level, executive, and highly specialized positions. In addition to negotiating availability, relocation, and financial expectations within specified limits, similar to the Talent Search, we conduct performance-based interviews and gather relevant work certificates, depending on the client's requirements.
More specific details about this service alone can be found here.
Working with DevelopmentPeople – What to expect
Suppose you have a challenging vacancy to fill. Which service would be most effective? The answer hinges on specific details. The primary factor is the role itself. If you need an expert in a particular field, whether for a long-term or short-term position, you should consider the Talent Shortlist.
Giulia Vinzi – Human Resources Lead, at the Business & Human Rights Resource Center, shares her feedback after a collaboration with DevelopmentPeople:
“Great service – fast, responsive, and very diligent. They were able to get us just the right candidate for our very niche role.”
On the other hand, the Executive Search could be the best choice if you are looking for someone for a key, mid/senior-level permanent position such as a CEO, CFO, or CIO. In this recruitment process, DevelopmentPeople is responsible for supporting the candidate until they receive a contract offer.
Naw Myat Mya Su – Operations Director at WWF Myanmar commented:
“Many thanks for helping us to find a suitable candidate for the position of Landscape Manager. Your service is excellent and providing information is very effective for us.”
There are two other technical differences you need to take into consideration. The Talent Shortlist is a service that takes around 10 days and has a fixed price while the Executive Search, being a more complex process, requires a minimum of 20 days and the price will be 10% of the agreed annual salary of the successful candidate.
Each of these services can be beneficial based on your specific needs or requirements. If you know precisely what you need, feel free to apply for one of our services, and we will be happy to assist you in finding the ideal candidate. If you're unsure which service suits you best, simply schedule a call with a DevelopmentPeople representative, who will gladly address your inquiries and assist you in making the best choice.
