Explore a world of possibilities with VFA's talent pool, comprising both skilled African and global professionals eager to transition into dynamic roles within high-growth startups. We meticulously assess and match the best-fit candidates to meet your unique requirements.
Simplify your hiring process with VFA. We guide qualified candidates through a rigorous selection process, presenting you with a curated shortlist of prospective fellow profiles. You hold the reins, selecting the top candidates you wish to interview for a seamless and efficient recruitment experience.
Our fellows are available part-time (20-25 hours per week) for an initial 3-month remote collaboration with your team. This unique opportunity allows you to assess their capabilities firsthand before making any final hiring decisions.
Process
01
An initial conversation with VFA to understand your hiring needs and to optimise your job description.
02
We upload your role to VFA’s network of experienced professionals and conduct the first round of interviews.
03
Top candidates are shortlisted to your VFA Partner dashboard.
04
We introduce you to your preferred candidates for any additional interviews.
05
You make the final decisions, and we support you in onboarding your new hire full-time or through the VFA trial-to-hire experience.
N.B. The VFA Trial-to-Hire experience is an optional 3-month de-risking window. During this period, you have the opportunity to work part-time with the talent we place before potentially extending a full-time offer.
Fees
Startup partners pay VFA the total stipend due to the candidate for the duration of the trial-to-hire engagement with the Startup, which is then disbursed to the candidate every completed month of work.
We work best with startup partners who are looking to hire mid to senior-level talent across product management, strategic finance, operations, business development, marketing and growth roles.
