Self-serve search: questions
- Is it free to search?
- Yes. You can search and see the first profiles for any skill without an account. A free account shows you more results and matches for your project. Unlocking a full profile uses a credit from a paid plan.
- What does unlocking a profile show?
- The developer's CV, LinkedIn and work history, plus the role and type of work they want next. Each unlock uses one credit.
- Can I contact developers?
- Yes, on a paid plan. From an unlocked profile you can send the developer your role or job description, with an attachment if you have one.
- Who are the developers?
- Engineers across Africa whose profiles are added and kept up to date by the Gigson team.
- Can I pay in naira?
- Yes. Plans are billed in US dollars or naira, monthly or yearly. Paying yearly saves 25%.
- Rather not search yourself?
- Start a managed hire and a talent manager will send you a shortlist, or hand a whole AI project to a forward deployed engineer.
Rather we ran the search?
A talent manager sends 3 or more shortlisted candidates within 10 days, then manages performance after the hire. If they don't perform, we replace them at no extra cost.
