In the high-stakes world of international development, winning a contract often hinges on a single factor: the quality of the proposed team. For consulting firms and NGOs bidding on projects funded by the World Bank (WB), Asian Development Bank (ADB), European Union (EU), or African Development Bank (AfDB), finding the perfect "Key Expert" is not just a recruitment task—it is a compliance necessity.
Million Experts has emerged as the definitive solution to this challenge. Far more than a standard job board, it is a specialized digital ecosystem designed to streamline the complex bidding process, ensure compliance with donor regulations, and connect the world’s best talent with the agencies that need them most.
The international aid sector operates under unique constraints that general professional networks like LinkedIn cannot address:
Strict Formatting: Donors like the World Bank and ADB require CVs in specific, rigid formats. A brilliant expert can be disqualified simply for a non-compliant resume.
Niche Expertise: Projects often require highly specific combinations of skills (e.g., a Civil Engineer with 10 years of experience in tropical climates and fluency in French).
Urgent Deadlines: Request for Proposals (RFPs) often have short turnaround times, requiring firms to mobilize teams in days, not weeks.
Million Experts bridges the gap between talent and opportunity through a suite of focused tools designed specifically for the development sector.
Precision Recruitment & Bid Compliance
Targeted Expert Matching: Instead of sifting through thousands of irrelevant profiles, organizations can utilize the platform's advanced filtering to identify the top qualified specialists for specific project mandates.
Consortium Building: Winning large contracts often requires partnership. Million Experts facilitates networking between firms, enabling the creation of Joint Ventures (JVs) and sub-consulting arrangements to meet complex tender requirements.
Automated Compliance: The platform reduces administrative burden by helping firms format expert CVs into the exact templates required by major funding agencies (WB, ADB, EU, etc.), significantly reducing the risk of technical disqualification.
Career Acceleration & Administrative Ease
Global Visibility: Experts gain direct exposure to leading international consulting firms and donor agencies looking for their specific skill sets.
CV Automation Tools: Professionals can generate perfectly formatted CVs for different donors with a single click, saving hours of manual editing and ensuring their profile is always bid-ready.
Sector-Specific Opportunities: The platform filters opportunities by niche sectors, ensuring experts are alerted to projects that match their specific domain—whether it be Climate Change Resilience, Public Finance Management, or Water & Sanitation.
Million Experts provides deep coverage across the pillars of global development:
Engineering & Infrastructure: Transport, Energy, and Urban Planning.
Social Development: Human Rights, Gender Equality, and Education.
Economic Growth: Agriculture, Trade Policy, and Private Sector Development.
Technology: ICT, Digital Transformation, and AI Automation.
The inspiration behind Million Experts lies in a decade of industry leadership. The founders recognized that organizations were losing bids not due to a lack of capability, but due to the logistical friction of finding and presenting the right personnel.
By centralizing the pool of vetted professionals and automating the tedious aspects of proposal preparation, Million Experts allows firms to focus on what matters: delivering impact. It ensures that the right experts are found, the right partnerships are formed, and the best proposals win.
