About Gigson

Gigson is a web-based tech talent recruitment and hiring platform for companies that want to hire pre-vetted African software developers for remote roles.
Key capabilities include:
- Self-serve developer search (Recommend): Browse instant curated developer profiles matched to a company’s stack and timeline, then filter by experience, location, salary expectations, and availability, with the ability to message developers directly.
- Managed recruitment (Performance): A dedicated talent manager sources and vets candidates and delivers three or more shortlisted developers within five business days, then supports the process through contracts, compliance, and statutory requirements.
- Pre-vetted talent pool: Developers in the network complete a Devcenter technical assessment, with only the top 4% accepted, positioning the platform as a curated pool rather than an open freelancer marketplace.
- Jobs Board and developer opportunities: Employers can use the Jobs Board to post roles to a 22k+ developer community, and developers can subscribe to verified, curated job opportunities delivered weekly.
Available on Web (gigson.co and app.gigson.co).
Target users include founders, hiring managers, and engineering leaders in Africa, the US, and Europe hiring Africa-based engineers across stacks such as React, Node.js, Python, full-stack, DevOps, and mobile (React Native, Flutter).
Gigson is notable in the African hiring market for its focus on remote-first African talent, fast shortlisting timelines, and a 90-day free replacement policy for hires that exit or underperform.
