With over 18,200 CV records in the Advanced CV Database, DevelopmentAid’s state-of-the-art maintained database is currently the largest of its kind in the sector. One of its main benefits is that only experts with 5+ years of development experience are included, making it a highly professional database. Moreover, to ensure the utmost accuracy, all records are regularly verified and updated.
As part of the quality control process, DevelopmentAid validates and classifies all the information in an expert’s curriculum vitae using semantic tags to ensure that the CV is accurate and easily searchable.
A dedicated team is responsible for keeping the records up-to-date for every profile in the Advanced Database and the date of the latest update is always visible to users.
Ultimately, organizations that use the Advanced Database (ADB) spend half the time finding appropriate candidates for their vacant roles.
Expert Profile presentation
Each expert profile registered on the Advanced Database includes standardised information making it easy for a user to find and contact an expert. The entire CV record of an expert is semantically tagged by previous experience with financing agencies, countries, sectors, languages, degrees, and citizenship, allowing users to quickly and easily locate and compare development sector experts.
The Advanced Database search query is intuitive and user-friendly, making the process of looking for CVs quick and easy.
There are two ways in which expert profiles can be returned during search queries. The first option presents the expert’s profile in summary form, including information about nationality, gender, total years of experience, languages spoken (and at what level) as well as quantified information on the search criteria introduced by the user such as number of missions per donor, per sector, and per country.
The second way to view an expert’s profile is by using the full CV view. An expert’s resume can easily be viewed in any of five standard formats (World Bank, AfDB, ADB, EuropeAid, and DevelopmentAid) to ensure that a CV is presented in the manner most amenable to the user. Moreover, every CV in the Advanced Database is downloadable in a .DOC file in each of the five formats.
Experience with funding agencies
Another feature that makes the Advanced Database unique is the option to search for an expert based on her/his previous experience with various funding agencies. This opportunity allows users to dramatically reduce the time needed to shortlist candidates who have concrete experience of cooperation with specific donors.
Search engine
The Advanced Database’s listing of CVs allows the end user to perform complex searches for expert profiles based on additional criteria to those listed above. DevelopmentAid has a full-time team that selects, classifies, validates, formats, tailors, and updates the information on each CV manually, ensuring that the quality substantially exceeds that of the market standard.
The powerful search engine combined with our exclusive data will enable organizations using our Advanced CV Database to easily link qualified experts to their projects and assignments.
