Best talent at the best prices. Zemenay placed two of our most critical hires this year.

Zemenay has helped us place two really critical hires, certainly the two most important of the last year. Martin is fantastic and has helped keep me sane, and with Brenda, we’ve been so pleased with her creativity and curiosity that we expanded her scope and she is now helping with our TikTok management.

Questions We Get Asked Often.

We move fast. After an initial call to understand your needs, we can usually present the first shortlisted candidates within 5–10 business days. Full onboarding (including contracts and kickoff) typically happens within 2–3 weeks from the time you approve a candidate. Our 10-step process is built for speed without sacrificing quality.

We operate on a one-time placement fee (typically 8–12% of the candidate’s first-year salary, depending on role seniority). There are no monthly markups, no hidden fees, and no long-term contracts. You hire the talent directly, and they become your employee or contractor. We believe in transparent, win-win pricing.

We specialize in recruiting from Ethiopia, one of Africa’s fastest-growing talent pools. Our professionals are trained to work in US, European, and Asian time zones. Most candidates are flexible and happy to adjust their schedule to overlap with your core working hours.

You decide. Most clients prefer to hire them as full-time remote employees or long-term contractors through their own company. We handle the local Ethiopian employment compliance, payroll setup (if needed), and make the transition seamless. You maintain full control over the working relationship.

We place mid-level to senior professionals with strong portfolios. All candidates are college-educated, have 2–7+ years of hands-on experience, and are carefully vetted. We specialize in roles such as React / Three.js Developers, Senior Back-end Engineers, AI Specialists, Digital Marketers, Project Managers, Content Creators, and more.

All our candidates are fluent in English, both written and spoken. They regularly communicate with international clients via Slack, Zoom, and email. While most have a pleasant, clear Ethiopian accent, their communication is professional and easy to understand.

Every placement is backed by our 6-month unlimited replacement guarantee. If a hire doesn’t meet expectations within the first six months, we will find and onboard a replacement at no additional placement fee. Your success is our success.

We excel at tech and growth roles: Software Developers (React, Three.js, Node.js, Python, AI/ML), Digital Marketers, SEO Specialists, Project Managers, Community Managers, Partnership Managers, Content Writers, and Operations/Support roles. If you don’t see your role listed, just ask, we can usually source it.

Our rigorous 6-step process includes AI-powered screening, technical assessments, multiple interview rounds, portfolio/deep-skill reviews, reference checks, and background verification. Only the top 3–5% of applicants make it through to our clients.

You manage them directly, just like any other remote team member. They work in your tools (Slack, Jira, Notion, Figma, etc.) and report to your team. We provide light coordination support and check in monthly to ensure everything is running smoothly.

Yes. We support part-time, full-time, and contract arrangements. Many clients start with part-time (20–30 hours/week) to test the fit before scaling to full-time.
