DEVEX CAREER ADVICE AND INSIGHTS
4 ways to elevate your profile on Devex

For those seeking new career opportunities in global development, merely searching for job postings to apply for is far from sufficient. In fact, jobs in the sector are not always posted publicly, as positions can be tied to proposal bids or urgent disaster response efforts, leaving no time for the traditional application process.

As a result, recruiters in the sector are often proactive in searching for “passive” candidates and encouraging them to apply — and many recruiters do this right here on Devex by proactively searching our database for user profiles of professionals with specific skills and backgrounds. In addition, our in-house recruitment specialists are currently compiling talent pools for recruiters based on specific sector skillsets that are identified based on what information is in a user’s Devex profile.

To ensure you don't go unnoticed, it's crucial to establish a strong Devex profile, which is why we’ve put together this guide to help job seekers stand out to recruiters.
