I've spent my career recruiting in international development, and the same thing comes up again and again. Brilliant people with poor applications. Careers stalled not by lack of talent but by documents that don't do justice to what those people have actually done. That's what IDCV is here to fix.

​

There is an art to good job applications and it's one that I have shared with professionals across international development, INGOs, and the UN system for many years, helping them to secure and thrive in roles that they previously thought were out of reach. I want to help as many people as possible to get into the roles they feel they were born to do.

 

Once you actually understand the job application process and what needs to be done to progress through each round, you really feel as though you've cracked the code. I want to share that knowledge with you.

​​

Since 2012 I have led bid and project recruitment for GRM International, ASI, and DAI, and founded a specialist international development recruitment business. I review thousands of job applications each year and continually see brilliant people with poor applications that fail to tell the right story. The result is too often a stalling of careers, income, and job satisfaction.

​

IDCV exists solely for people who know they should be operating at a higher level. People who have consistently delivered in difficult places against serious odds, yet whose CV and job applications somehow fail to show it.

​​

Working with me is a partnership. I'll help you understand what recruiters are actually looking for, challenge you to articulate what you've genuinely achieved, and make sure that by the time your application lands it tells the story it needs to tell.

​

The jobs you want are within reach. Let's go and get them.
