03Five questions that separate providers
Global providers list 150 countries because they resell partner entities in most of them. In Africa that shows up as slow answers to statutory questions and surprise costs at termination.
- Is the entity in my market owned or resold, and who is named on the contract?
- What exactly is the employer cost in that country this year?
- How is FX handled and what spread applies on local payment?
- What is the real time from signed order form to first payroll?
- Can you also find the candidate, or only employ one I bring?
04Depth beats breadth in Africa
Statutory rules moved recently in several markets — Kenya's housing levy, Ghana's mandatory tier-2, Nigeria's pension and NSITF regime. A provider that cannot answer those from memory is learning your market on your payroll.
Frequently asked
Should I use a global EOR or an Africa specialist?+
If Africa is one line in a fifteen-country rollout, a global provider is simpler to procure. If Africa is where the hires actually are, a specialist gives better statutory accuracy and faster answers.
Can one provider cover several African markets?+
Yes. CareerBuddy employs across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, and Egypt on one contract and one monthly invoice, with per-market statutory detail published on each hiring guide.
