Inquire about Executive Membership


Executive Membership is designed for firms, NGOs, and donor agencies that have a significant focus on international development, global health, and humanitarian relief. We provide our Executive Members with a variety of customized business intelligence and recruiting services that make their operations more efficient. A few actual examples include:

  • An environmental foundation based in Europe utilizes our candidate directory to hire several highly-qualified developing world nationals for Country Director positions, rather than transferring European or American expats abroad
  • A Japanese engineering firm begins to compete on MCC contracts with early intelligence we provide
  • A humanitarian relief NGO uses our DevelopmentHire recruitment management system to deploy staff when emergencies arise
  • A Fortune 500 corporation raises the profile of its development work and reaches out to new partners in the international development community through our facilitated networking services
  • A DFID contractor cuts recruiting costs by 75% through online rather than print advertising while finding the top candidates that lead to winning proposals


One of the unique cornerstones of Executive Membership is access to the largest database of international development professionals in the world. This database is an active community of over 75,000 professionals from every country, working in every sector. It is a highly effective resource for recruiting, finding business development contacts, and enhancing brand awareness in the international development community.
