Questions employers ask
How do you decide who is ready for our role?
We assess readiness for each specific role, not with a single “job-ready” label. We look at the relevant skills, assessed project work and identified gaps, and we tell you how much supervision we expect someone to need.
What does it cost?
Terms depend on the engagement and are agreed with you in writing before any introductions are made. There is no charge for an initial conversation.
Can we hire for remote or international roles?
Yes. Many of our alumni work remotely or abroad. Tell us your working arrangement and time-zone needs, and we’ll shortlist accordingly.
Can we meet candidates in person?
Yes. We’re in East Legon, Accra, and can arrange in-person meetings or interviews at our campus.
Do you share candidates’ details without permission?
No. We only share a candidate’s professional profile with their permission, and only with the employers they’ve agreed to be introduced to.
