Before you ask

Hiring in Africa: the questions we hear first.

Which African markets do you cover?

Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, Morocco and South Africa are the most active, and our sourcing engine is not limited to them.

Do you work in French?

Yes. Francophone Africa is handled by our Beirut team, natively in French.

How do fees work?

You only pay after you successfully hire. No retainer, no shortlisting fees, and every placement carries a 3-month guarantee.

The right hire in Africa is one conversation away.

Four lines is all we need to start.
