Elizabeth Opee, the Director of Human Resources and Culture at AWF comments:

“Over the last three years we have worked with DevelopmentPeople in a number of targeted searches. These have been from mid to senior leadership positions. These roles have ranged from Programs, Finance, Youth leadership, Fundraising, and Country leadership at both national and global levels. They were able to provide us with shortlists that were aligned with our role profiles in a range of countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Germany, and Kenya among others. We are impressed by their professionalism, client engagement, quick turnaround times, and cost-effectiveness. They assigned specific leads for the different searches which made the experience stress-free. We look forward to our continued collaboration with them.”

Genevieve McGann, Human Resources Business Partner from Women for Women International, shares her experience with working with DevelopmentPeople:

“DevelopmentPeople was a life-saver for us when we had a hard-to-fill position located outside of the U.S. We were unsuccessful in finding the right candidates through our own methods. Once we engaged with DevelopmentPeople, they supported us right away. They were very quick and responsive to our feedback – each candidate they sent us was closer and closer to what we were looking for. In the end, we moved forward with formal interviews with five of the candidates they provided. After working with them, we contracted them to work on two additional positions for us and will be keeping them in mind for more hard-to-fill positions for us!”

These opinions from valuable clients not only reflect the DevelopmentPeople performance in the best way but also offer some insight into the process and the results we can achieve.
