How it works

1

Submit your brief and commit

Tell us the role, budget, and success criteria, then pay $149 to start sourcing. No signup required.

2

Receive a focused shortlist

We confirm fit within one business day and deliver qualified candidates within 7 business days—or refund the commitment fee.

3

Interview and hire

You interview candidates. If you hire, the $149 is deducted from the one-time placement fee; you pay the worker directly.

Why East Africa, why ProGigFinder

English is the default

English is the language of education and business in Uganda and Kenya. Your team writes and speaks it every day, not as a bonus skill.

Timezone that actually overlaps

East Africa Time (UTC+3) covers the full European workday and US East Coast mornings, so you get real-time collaboration instead of overnight handoffs.

Not a job board reselling CVs

Candidates come from ProGigFinder’s own worker network. We review profile completeness, relevant experience, availability, and identity status before recommending a candidate for interview.

Local payment rails

Workers across East Africa commonly accept local bank and mobile-money payments. You agree the payment method directly with the person you hire.

Clear pricing before you start

Start sourcing: $149 commitment fee

This filters out speculative requests and funds the search. It is credited in full toward the placement fee, not added on top.

If you hire: 50% of one month’s pay, $299 minimum

Example: at $600/month, the total fee is $300. After your $149 credit, only $151 remains.

7-business-day shortlist guarantee

If we cannot deliver a qualified shortlist on time, we refund the $149 commitment fee.

Free replacement within 30 days

If the hire doesn’t work out, we send a new shortlist at no extra cost.

Frequently asked questions

How are candidates vetted?+

We review the candidate’s ProGigFinder profile, identity-verification status where available, stated work experience, location, availability, and role fit. You receive the profile and interview candidates before deciding whether to hire.

What if the hire doesn’t work out?+

You get a free replacement within 30 days. Tell us what went wrong and we send a new shortlist at no extra cost.

Can I hire more than one person?+

Yes. Many clients build small teams of moderators, support reps, or annotators. Team discounts apply from 5 hires and up.

Who employs the worker?+

You contract with them directly, and we can provide a contract template to get you started. We are a matching and vetting service, not an employer of record.

How do I pay the worker?+

Directly, using the method and schedule you agree with the worker. ProGigFinder is the matching service, not the employer of record.

How much does it cost?+

Sourcing starts with a $149 commitment fee. If you hire, the total placement fee is 50% of one month’s pay, with a $299 minimum, and your $149 is credited in full. If we do not deliver a qualified shortlist within 7 business days, the commitment fee is refunded.

Is the $149 commitment fee refundable?+

Yes, if ProGigFinder cannot deliver a qualified shortlist within 7 business days. Once a qualified shortlist is delivered, the fee covers the completed sourcing work and is credited toward your placement fee if you hire.
