Hand-curated shortlists from the top 5% of African talent. 68% reply rate vs. 9% on LinkedIn. One flat seat price — no per-hire, no contingency, no agency markup. Each candidate hears from at most three companies, so when you reach out, you're heard.
So… what exactly is Jobs by CareerBuddy?
Jobs by CareerBuddy is a hand-curated hiring network where Africa's high-impact professionals meet the teams who genuinely deserve them. We're built and run by CareerBuddy — a pan-African recruitment business that's been quietly placing senior tech talent since 2018, out of Lagos.
For candidates, we're the friend who reads the fine print, calls out the lowballs, and only sends roles that actually fit. For companies, we're the bespoke, best-in-class talent partner that takes the chaos of hiring off your desk.
Three rules keep this place honest: every role publishes its salary band, every candidate is anonymous to recruiters by default, and nobody gets carpet-bombed — candidates hear from at most three companies, ever. Result: a 68% reply rate and 14 days from first message to signed offer.
We cover engineering, product, design, data, growth and consulting — across Lagos, Nairobi, Cairo, Cape Town and Accra, plus remote-first roles in Europe and the Americas. Wherever you build, we'll meet you there.
