Working as a professional in sustainable development can often be difficult and demanding. Luckily, DevelopmentAid, the leading provider of information services in this sector, has created a suite of powerful tools for experts such as yourself to further their career and help make this world a better place for us all.
In this article, we’ll go through some of the most useful and popular tools for individual experts that are exclusively available on the DevelopmentAid platform.
CV Broadcasting
The first step in building your development expert career is landing that dream job. DevelopmentAid has a full spectrum of services to help you find and apply for remunerative positions, including the world’s largest sector-specific job board.
One of DevelopmentAid’s most powerful tools for experts is CV Broadcasting. This tool, exclusively available to our platform’s members, takes your curriculum vitae – CV or resume, and broadcasts (digitally sends) it to thousands of agencies, organizations, and institutions.
But this broadcast isn’t just some mass emailing sent out blindly to everyone in DevelopmentAid’s contact list. Instead, the CV Broadcasting tool analyzes your skills and experience and then sends your CV only to the agencies and organizations looking to hire someone with your qualifications. Furthermore, your resume will be sent directly to the person or department in charge of recruiting, offering you the best possible chance to be seen and considered for that next rewarding career opportunity.

Of course, you could spend hours sorting through job postings, tailoring your resume to meet each organization’s needs and formatting, and sending out your CV one email at a time, hoping that it reaches the right people, but with DevelopmentAid’s CV Broadcasting tool, your resume will go straight to the agency recruiters specifically looking to hire experts with your skills and experience.
DevelopmentAid is the only platform that offers this sector-specific CV Broadcasting tool because our comprehensive database and years of expertise working with development agencies allows us to match prospective candidates with the organizations looking to hire people with specific qualifications.
Exclusive tenders for experts
Many of the individuals working in the development sector are under the impression that public tenders from government agencies and multilateral institutions are only for companies or consortia. This simply isn’t true.
Every day, development institutions publish tenders which are looking to contract individual professionals to provide various services. These tenders may be in the form of a long-term job offer, a part-time contract, or a one-off consultation or other form of service provided, and they can offer individual experts like you a rewarding path to furthering your career.
DevelopmentAid’s powerful platform lets experts set up customizable tender alerts so that you are instantly notified whenever a tender is published that matches your qualifications. The platform also has all of the information you’ll need to research how to submit a bid for these tenders, how to format your bid, and background information on the organization and their previously published tenders.

There is always the option to navigate and search for tenders manually. But this laborious task of visiting the websites of tens of government agencies, institutions, and multilateral organizations, individually checking them every day, will steal a lot of your precious time. DevelopmentAid members, however, can see at a glance the latest tenders that meet their criteria and make one click to submit a bid that meets the agency’s formatting and other requirements.
And while government tenders are, for the most part, part of the public procurement process, DevelopmentAid’s platform also has exclusive private sector tenders that you won’t find anywhere else. That’s because DevelopmentAid is the trusted partner of thousands of non-profit and charitable organizations working around the world in the field of sustainable development.
The largest development expert database in the world
Being proactive and searching the tender database for individual consulting and job opportunities as well as using the CV Broadcasting tool to reach recruiters at government agencies and multilateral institutions is certainly an excellent way to further your career. But sometimes, agencies and institutions want to find individual experts before a specific job or other career opportunity is announced.
That’s when DevelopmentAid’s expert database, the largest sector-specific repository of individual professionals working in the field of sustainable development, comes into play. Many agencies and institutions rely on it to confirm a person’s credentials as well as verify their professional experience.
And because our expert database is fully searchable by qualification, experience, skills, and keywords, government agencies, NGOs, private sector enterprises, and multilateral institutions use it to search for consultants and individual professionals to advise them on sector-specific matters, to fill open positions, or collaborate with them on implementing projects.
