Working across African markets
Hiring markets on the continent look very different from one another. Lagos, Nairobi, Cape Town and Cairo each concentrate a distinct mix of industries, salary bands and visa realities, and many of the employers listed here hire across several of them at once.
Each country page shows the employers with teams in that market, along with city-level pages for the places doing the most hiring, so you can research locally rather than continent-wide.
