Why hire moderators from East Africa

Coverage when your users are awake

East Africa Time (UTC+3) covers the full European day and US East Coast mornings. Building a follow-the-sun rotation with moderators who cost $450 a month makes 24/7 coverage affordable.

Native-level written English

Moderation is a writing job. Ugandan and Kenyan candidates are educated in English and every shortlisted moderator passes an AI-scored English assessment before you see them.

Vetted for judgment, not just availability

Each candidate has a video introduction and work-history checks, so you can assess tone and judgment before the interview.

Also staffing customer support teams and virtual assistants.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to hire a chat moderator?+

Full-time moderators from Uganda and Kenya start at about $450 per month, paid directly to the moderator. ProGigFinder charges a one-time placement fee of 50% of one month’s pay, only if you hire. Part-time and shift-based arrangements are also common.

Can I get 24/7 moderation coverage?+

Yes. Most clients hire 2 or 3 moderators on rotating shifts. At East African rates, round-the-clock coverage typically costs less than one US-based hire. Team discounts apply from 5 hires.

What platforms do your moderators know?+

Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp communities, Facebook groups, forums, and custom in-app chat. Tell us your platform and tooling in the request and we shortlist candidates with matching experience.

How are moderators vetted?+

Every shortlisted candidate passed an AI-scored English and skills assessment, recorded a video introduction, and had their work history checked. You interview them before hiring, and you only pay if you hire.

Who employs the moderator?+

You contract with them directly, and we can provide a contract template. If you prefer, our optional payroll service invoices you by card through Stripe and pays the moderator via mobile money the same day, for 10% of monthly pay.
