What you will find here

Understand employment in Africa before you commit

Employing in Africa takes method. Labour law rules, contribution rates, salary practices and payment methods vary from one country to the next, sometimes sharply between neighbours. Our resources gather what our field teams observe daily: country guides, compliance analyses, salary benchmarks, customer experience and precise definitions of international HR vocabulary.

The goal is simple: let you decide with verifiable information, then execute without surprises. Our articles are documented, dated and updated when regulations change. The glossary clarifies the terms that cause confusion, such as EOR, COR, misclassification, permanent establishment or the CFA franc zone.

01

Editorial content

02

Proof and references

Customer stories, press coverage, our locations on the continent and social impact: the material that documents our presence and our actual results.

Partner programme, talent referral programme and the Kernel Job Africa space for African candidates looking for international opportunities.

Frequently asked questions about our resources

01

How often is the content updated?

Country guides and compliance analyses are reviewed whenever regulations change, in particular after finance acts and social contribution reforms. Every article carries its publication date.
02

Are the salary figures reliable?

They come from our actual hires and from our local teams’ observations, and are indicative. Employer cost depends on the country, the experience level and the package: our public tools let you simulate a precise amount.
03

Does the glossary cover local legal vocabulary?

It covers international HR vocabulary (EOR, COR, misclassification, permanent establishment) and notions specific to the continent, such as the CFA franc zone, CNSS or local pension schemes, across the 54 African countries.
