The same HR chain, very different needs
A startup hiring its first developer in Lagos and a group consolidating six hundred employees across fifteen countries do not expect the same thing from their HR partner. The first needs speed, clear pricing and a compliant contract without creating a subsidiary. The second needs governance, consolidated reporting, data security and dedicated contacts per region. Kernel runs the same HR chain across the 54 African countries, with a service level matched to your organisation.
These pages are organised around four entry points: your size, your industry, your goal and the profile you are looking for. They describe the constraints specific to each situation, the services mobilised first and the questions to settle before starting. Links to solutions and use cases then take you to the operational detail.
By size
Startups and SMBs, mid-market companies, large enterprises: the contractual framework is the same, the level of governance, reporting and support changes.
By industry
IT services, recruitment firms, consulting, SaaS, e-commerce, real estate, insurance, customer service, services companies: each industry has its key roles and compliance constraints.
By goal and by role
Manage your HR, grow your business or hire remotely, then choose the role: developer, sales, data, finance, support and other qualified African profiles.
Frequently asked questions
- 01
Does Kernel work with small organisations?
- Yes. A single hire is handled like a multi-country rollout, with the same compliance guarantees. Startups and SMBs particularly value not having to create an entity and the clarity of costs.
- 02
How does Kernel adapt to large groups?
- Through governance: dedicated contacts, consolidated multi-country reporting, approval workflows, access security and per-country compliance documentation, across all 54 African countries.
- 03
My industry has specific constraints, is that covered?
- Our industry pages describe the key roles and constraints of each activity (IT services, recruitment, consulting, SaaS, e-commerce, real estate, insurance, customer service, services companies). The contractual framework stays local and compliant with the country of employment.
- 04
Can I start with one country only?
- Yes, that is the most common start: one country, one employee, a clear framework. Extending to other African countries then happens without changing platform or master agreement.
