Where the talent sits
Nairobi and Lagos are the primary delivery hubs for English-language support at scale, with strong candidate depth from BPO and tech-support backgrounds. Cairo covers Arabic and French markets and provides strong tier-2 technical support talent. Cape Town offers the strongest timezone overlap with Europe.
