Is CareerBuddy a recruitment company?
Yes. Recruitment is CareerBuddy's first practice: it sources, vets and delivers a shortlist of three candidates in 4 business days across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, and Egypt. It is also more than a recruiter — the same contract covers Employer of Record, outsourcing and employer-brand work.

03What the recruitment practice actually does
CareerBuddy runs contingency and embedded search for engineering, product, data, finance, sales and support roles. Every search starts from a written brief, runs against a vetted talent pool, and ends with a scorecard-backed shortlist rather than a CV dump.
- Three vetted candidates in 4 business days
- 90-day free replacement on every placement
- 200K+ vetted professionals in the talent database
- 88.3% twelve-month retention on placed hires
04Where it goes beyond recruitment
A recruiter hands you a candidate and leaves. CareerBuddy can also employ that person for you through its Employer of Record, run an outsourced team on your behalf, or build the employer brand that makes the next search cheaper — same team, same contract, same inbox.
Frequently asked
Is CareerBuddy an agency or a platform?+
Both. The recruitment practice is delivered by a human team of researchers and recruiters, and it runs on CareerBuddy's own talent platform and salary dataset rather than on job-board scraping.
What does CareerBuddy charge for recruitment?+
Recruitment is priced as a percentage of first-year salary, with the fee and replacement window set out on the pricing page before a search starts. There is no upfront retainer on contingency searches.
