FAQ

Common Questions

Is it really free for talent?
Yes. Always. We never charge talent to join, apply, or get hired. We never take a commission from your salary. The platform is free for talent, forever. Recruiters pay the subscription.
How long does vetting take?
Standard profiles are reviewed within 72 hours of submission. Senior or Tier 1 profiles may take up to 5 business days due to additional screening. You'll be notified by email at each stage.
Can I update my profile after submission?
Yes. You can update your CV, availability, and contact preferences at any time. Major updates (new qualifications, roles) trigger a re-review and potential tier upgrade.
Do I need to have attended the Summit?
No. Summit attendance is a positive signal but is not required for any tier. What matters is your credentials, depth of experience, and specialization. Summit members typically receive faster review times.
How does cross-border hiring work?
Through our EOR (Employer of Record) partner network. When a recruiter hires you, the EOR handles your employment contract, compliance with your country's labour laws, and salary payment in your preferred currency. You are legally employed in your home country.
Can I be on the platform if I'm already employed?
Absolutely. Many talent on the network are passively open to opportunities. You can set your availability to "Open to offers" or "Available" — recruiters will see your status and reach out accordingly.
What specializations are accepted?
ML Engineering, NLP, Computer Vision, MLOps, AI Research, AI Product Management, Data Science, AI Policy & Governance, Robotics, and more. If your specialization is AI-adjacent and you're strong, apply.
What countries are covered?
All 54 African countries. We have talent across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Senegal, Cameroon, Uganda, Tanzania, Morocco, and many more.
