About your Coach

Dominique Devereux – Managing Consultant at DCD Search and Selection

With more than 20 years of experience as an international headhunter and recruiter, I offer a current, real-world perspective that few coaches can match. I am not a coach who simply watches the market, I am recruiting and headhunting every day.

This isn’t theoretical career advice - it’s practical, direct, hands-on guidance and support from someone still working on both sides of the hiring process. I understand the priorities of businesses and decision-makers when looking to bring people into their team.

I help companies hire worldwide, along with supporting candidates every step of the way.
