Why hire from South Africa?
South Africa is one of the only offshore talent pools with insanely affordable skilled native English-speaking people.
South African's have very similar cultural backgrounds to Brits and Americans, and are hungry to work with international companies.
And because pounds (& dollars) go a very long way in SA, the wage bill arbitrage opportunity is amazing.
Salary arbitrage
South African staff is on average three times more affordable than US or UK employees, but no less skilled or talented.
Educated & experienced English-speakers
Most skilled South Africans are native English-speakers and are a perfect cultural fit for Brits and Americans.
Perfect time zone (GMT+2)
South Africa is also brilliantly located for UK companies and in some cases, American companies. For the latter, your team will be getting things done whilst you sleep and still be on morning calls.
Strong work ethic
South Africans are driven and eager to make an impact. A remote opportunity to work for an overseas company is preferred by many locals.

Most of companies with remote staff use software to stay connected and engaged. We use the following tools:
- Slack for internal and external team work. Some use Asana for project management, but we find Slack works best for keeping teams engaged and company culture flowing.
- Google Suite for client communication (Google Drive, Gmail, Docs).
- Some also use Notion for on-boarding and training videos. But we record videos in Loom and store and share them with relevant staff in Slack instead.
- FigJam is perfect for whiteboard meetings.
- Deel for Payroll, legal and compliance.
