Frequently Asked Questions

How do you ensure the quality of candidates?

Every candidate goes through a 4-stage process: profile review, skills assessment, live interview, and reference checks. Less than 10% of applicants reach your shortlist, so you only spend time on people who are genuinely ready.

How quickly can I receive a shortlist?

From brief to shortlist typically takes between 48 hours and 5 days, depending on role complexity. From shortlist to a signed offer averages 5-15 days, depending on your interview process and decision timeline.

What if I'm not satisfied with a placement?

We offer a 90-day placement guarantee on direct hires. If it is not working out within the first 90 days, we find a replacement at no additional charge. No questions asked.

Do you work with companies outside Africa?

Absolutely. The majority of our clients are based in the US, UK, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and other African countries. Betternship is a global solution; wherever your business is headquartered, we can help.

Do you only place tech talent?

No. While we are strong in tech roles, we place professionals across sales, marketing, operations, business development, design, product management, and more. If your organization needs talented people, we are the right choice..

What is EOR, and do I need it?

EOR (Employer of Record) means Betternship legally employs your African hire on your behalf, handling local payroll, taxes, and compliance so you do not need to set up a local entity. It is ideal for any company hiring in Africa without an existing legal presence there.
