Devex Talent Solutions
A One-of-a-Kind Recruitment Agency From Devex
Let's get started
What makes us different
Devex Talent Solutions is the boutique recruitment agency of the largest global development media platform
There are many recruitment agencies, but only one DTS. For over two decades, we have brought deep expertise in global development and an unmatched network to serve our mission-driven community.
DTS is particularly known for sourcing underrepresented talent – especially women and developing country nationals, including for fragile and conflict affected settings.
And because we understand the budget constraints of our community, DTS search rates are typically half industry standard prices. That’s one reason more than 80% of DTS clients come back for additional search services.
DTS has completed more than 1,000 searches for clients including:
7/10
largest international NGOs
5
UN agencies
4
multilateral development banks
12/20
largest implementing partners
At Devex Talent Solutions, we speak the language of global development because this is our community."
