To surmount the challenges faced in sourcing, screening and recruiting developers, the tech team at Korapay turned to Hirefreehands for easy and ready access to competitive talent. Although the shift to remote by Korapay was purely a reactive one at the time, it has been extended and incorporated as a long-term engagement policy by the company.

Today, the engineering team at Korapay has adapted remote work policy as choice, attributing the decision to increased productivity during the initial pilot test-runs. Propel helps companies build and manage high performing, remote tech teams. We achieve this by connecting companies with dedicated and on-demand talent from the world-class African tech pool. At Propel, we ensure project workflow remains seamless with layered integrations all made possible through a single workstream channel - removing unnecessary overhead costs.

At the core of the success seen in our collaboration with Korapay, is our ‘Layered Talent Progression Model’, which ensures that freehands go through a rigorous verification and skill assessment procedure before gaining access to work - by progressing in a tiered manner while gaining competence and maintaining minimum thresholds.

This model ensured Korapay had access to pre-qualified and well-proven talent, reducing recruitment and onboarding bottlenecks.
