    We help organisations attract, hire and employ talent across Africa and anywhere in the world. That covers job posting and employer branding, talent search and contractors, employer of record services, and building AI teams. For professionals, we help you find work, get found by employers and get hired faster.

    Search is one of our services, and a big one. But most organisations need more than one hire, so we also help them attract applicants, employ people compliantly across borders and build specialised AI teams, all with one partner.

    We work across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa and Egypt, and help organisations hire and employ talent from Africa for roles anywhere in the world.

    For Talent Search, you'll typically have a shortlist in 4 days.

    Yes. Through our employer of record service, we become the legal employer and handle contracts, payroll, tax and labour law, while the person works for you day to day.

    Yes. We help AI labs and AI companies hire researchers, ML engineers and data specialists across Africa, and set up the people operations and human data work behind those teams.

    You can browse jobs, create a profile so our search team can find you, take on contract work through CareerBuddy Pro, or get help with your CV, LinkedIn profile and interviews.

    About CareerBuddy: who we serve, what we do, and how to start

    Who is this for?
    Organizations hiring in Africa or anywhere in the world (startups, scale-ups, enterprises and AI labs) and the professionals looking for their next role.
    What problem are you solving?
    Great people are hard to find, slow to hire and complicated to employ across borders. Most teams juggle a recruiter, a job board, an employer-of-record provider and an agency, and none of them talk to each other.
    What does CareerBuddy activate?
    One connected layer between talent and opportunity: jobs and employer branding to attract, talent search and contractors to hire, employer of record (EOR) to employ, training to develop, and AI talent and people operations to build new capability.
    What outcome can you expect?
    A vetted shortlist 4 days after your brief, hires employed compliantly from day one, and people who stay: 88.3% of placements are still in role after 12 months.
    Why CareerBuddy?
    4,200+ placements since 2018, hiring and employment in 50+ countries, and a network of 200K+ professionals. Cadana, Sabi, Moniepoint and eHealth Africa have hired with us.
