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.
