January 2017 – Make the Circle Bigger

We’re the recruitment firm for global Africans

It’s been an exciting start to the year with our ever-widening circle of top African professionals who want to return home.

There’s a special magic when you connect face-to-face with top candidates in an inspirational and stimulating setting. So we’re thrilled to be partnering with the Harvard Africa Conference in February and the Oxford Africa Conference in May.

If you’re ready to climb the next rung on your career ladder, have a look at our selection of pan-African job opportunities.
