Hiring great developers doesn’t have to be hard.
Andela embeds Africa’s most talented developers as full-time teammates, enabling companies like yours to build better products, faster.
Developers Vetted By Developers,
Andela recruits the top .5% of tech talent from a pool of over 50,000 applicants across the African continent.
Developers first spend six months on our team – mastering a chosen tech stack, building internal products, and becoming experts on distributed teamwork – before they’re ready to join yours.
More Effective Than Your Typical Technical Interview.
Utilizing both simulations and real-world projects, we evaluate developers across 9,600 data points in 20 categories.
The in-depth knowledge gained from months of interaction allows us to quickly match you with the right developers in a way that even hours of traditional interviews can’t touch.
Add Team Members In Days, Not Months.
We handle on-boarding so you don’t have to.
Our engineers assess how you operate before designing a plan for each of your new developers. Then we get them up to speed on your code base, internal systems, and team structure so that they can start contributing from day one.
Welcome To Your Lagos & Nairobi HQ.
After we fly your developers to your HQ for two weeks of face time, they return to work from one of our state-of-the-art campuses.
Andela provides all of the infrastructure your developers need to be successful, from the latest MacBooks, to a team of senior engineers who support them as they grow into leaders in your organization.
Andela developers are looking for an actual solution. They take our feedback and then actually challenge the status quo. I think that’s what has worked for us.

The great thing about Andela developers is they're as energized and as motivated as anybody else on our team. These guys are hungry, creative, aggressive—the kinds of things you would expect from a Silicon Valley engineer.

We see Andela as an opportunity to bring someone in without any bad habits -- someone we can develop, invest in, and count on as a long-term member of our team. They have a hunger and a thirst to learn that is stronger than you’ll usually find.

From a developer standpoint, they’re extremely talented and hungry across the board. They want to prove that there is good talent in Africa and that they’re here for a reason. They’ve brought a lot of energy and excitement to the team.
