Betternship

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ For Companies

1. How long does it take to hire through Betternship?

Most roles are matched within 24 hours to 5 business days. We prioritize speed without sacrificing quality.

2. Can I hire from multiple African countries?

Yes. We help you legally hire talent across 40+ African countries through our Employer of Record (EOR) service.

3. What’s the difference between direct hiring and EOR?

Direct hiring means you employ talent directly through your company. EOR means Betternship acts as the legal employer – handling payroll, compliance, and local taxes – while you manage the talent’s work.

4. Do I get to interview the candidates myself?

Absolutely, if you want. We pre-vet and shortlist talent, but you have the final say. You can schedule interviews, ask questions, and assess cultural and skill fit before making any offer.

5. What kind of roles can I hire for?

We cover tech, marketing, sales, operations, and support functions from entry-level to senior roles.

6. How much does it cost to hire through Betternship?

Pricing depends on the hiring model (direct or EOR) and role level. Once you share your needs, we provide a transparent, customized quote. No hidden fees, and you only pay for the service that suits your hiring goals.

7. Can I hire for short-term projects or freelance contracts?

Yes. Betternship supports full-time, part-time, and project-based hires. You can scale your team flexibly based on project needs, timelines, or budgets.

8. How do payments work under EOR?

You pay Betternship monthly. We handle salary disbursement, taxes, and statutory contributions. This ensures your team gets paid on time, every time, and your company stays fully compliant.

9. Can I onboard my own existing talent through Betternship’s EOR?

Yes. If you already have team members in Africa, we can help you transition them under Betternship for payroll and compliance management.

10. What happens if I’m not satisfied with a hire?

We offer a replacement period on every hire. If the fit isn’t right, we’ll help you find a suitable replacement quickly.

11. Is my company protected legally?

Yes. Betternship ensures contracts, payroll, and taxes comply with each country’s laws, keeping your company fully protected.

12. Do you provide ongoing support after hiring?

Yes. Every client gets a dedicated account manager and HR support for ongoing compliance and talent management.

13. Can I use Betternship even if my company isn’t based in Africa?
