In a world where virtual hiring has become something of a norm, and online talent hiring options are plenty, Gebeya Dubai sets itself apart with the promise of solely offering African tech talents that are vetted for.
“With cities like Cape Town, Nairobi, Lagos, Accra, Cairo, Dakar, and Addis Ababa full of rising tech stars, how was it that the second-largest continent on Earth remained overlooked?” According to Amadou Daffe, this was the conundrum that befuddled him in 2016 and led him to co-found Gebeya, an Ethiopia-headquartered global talent marketplace solely focused on African tech professionals. “The initial spark for Gebeya thus came from seeing Africa’s enormous tech talent pool contrasted with the high global demand for skills,” Daffe recalls. “When my co-founder Hiruy Amanuel and I first started Gebeya, our focus was primarily on building capacity through upskilling, as many software developers as possible in Africa. Since then, we have worked with the likes of Microsoft, Safaricom, Amazon Web Services, and more to develop and implement upskilling programs, thereby empowering thousands of developers across Africa.”
