Shortlisting talents has never been harder for recruiters but DRS can help

A dedicated and hardworking team is key to organizational success and efficiency. That’s why if there is a vacancy you need to fill but you can’t find the right person, it’s quite difficult to maintain the rhythm of work and to concentrate on securing tenders and active projects at the same time. In this situation, DevelopmentAid can help your organization to find not just a person but that one talent you were looking for. Your recruiting process will be more efficient and perhaps even pleasant thanks to two of our services we invite you to learn about 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.

One of the key processes in securing bids and accomplishing projects is efficient recruitment. That’s why DevelopmentAid Recruitment Solutions (DRS), with its dedicated teams of recruiters, consultants and managers, meets the needs of organizations working in the field. Our Talent Shortlist and Executive Search are two bespoke solutions you can opt for so allow us to share some insight on these unique services.

Talent Shortlist

Talent Shortlist is the perfect platform to identify suitable candidates who are interested and available to be further evaluated according to a company’s internal recruitment procedures.

The process of selection undertaken by our recruiters involves an extensive search through the DevelopmentAid database, the largest on the market, with over 130,000 profiles. While numerous candidates are screened, we shortlist and propose between three and five of the most qualified experts. The submission process follows a specific framework, facilitating the effective evaluation of the application by the client’s organization.

You can read more specific details about the Talent Shortlist service here.

Looking for a CEO?

When it comes to the Executive Search service, this is an end-to-end recruitment solution that focuses on fulfilling permanent senior C-level, executive positions, and highly-specialized roles. Aside from the negotiation of availability, relocation, and financial expectations within given thresholds which is similar to the Talent Search, we also undertake performance-based interviews and collate relevant work certificates (depending on the client’s needs).

More specific details about this service alone can be found here.

Working with DRS – What to expect

Let’s say, you have a hard-to-fill vacancy. Which service would work in the best way? Well, the answer depends on certain details. The first criterion is the position itself. If you are looking for an expert in a certain domain, long-term or short-term, you should turn to the Talent Shortlist.

Giulia Vinzi – Human Resources Lead, at the Business & Human Rights Resource Center, shares her feedback after a collaboration with DevelopmentAid Recruitment Solutions:

“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 seeking someone for a key, mid/senior level permanent position such as a CEO, CFO or CIO. During this recruitment solution, DRS holds the duty of care for the candidate right up until they receive a contract offer.

Naw Myat Mya Su – Operations Director at WWF Myanmar commented,

“Many thanks for helping us for finding 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 useful for you depending on the needs or requirements you have. If you know exactly what you want, feel free to apply for one of our services and we will be glad to help you to find the best candidate. If you can’t decide which service may be better for you, just schedule a call with a DRS representative who will gladly answer your questions and help you to make the best decision.
