Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to outsource customer support to Africa?+

A full-time support rep from Uganda or Kenya typically costs $500 to $700 per month, paid directly to the rep. There is no BPO seat markup: ProGigFinder charges a one-time placement fee of 50% of one month’s pay, only when you hire. A three-person team covering extended hours usually costs less than one US hire.

Is this a BPO or call center?+

No. We vet and shortlist individual reps who work directly for you, on your tools and your processes. You get the cost advantage of outsourcing without giving up control of quality, and without paying a middleman every month.

What tools do the reps know?+

Common stacks include Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Help Scout, Gorgias, and plain shared inboxes. Tell us your stack in the request and we shortlist candidates who have used it.

What about timezone coverage?+

East Africa Time (UTC+3) covers the full European workday and US East Coast mornings live. For US afternoon or 24/7 coverage, clients hire two or three reps on shifts, which is affordable at these rates.

How are candidates vetted?+

Every shortlisted candidate passed an AI-scored English and skills assessment, recorded a video introduction, and had work-history checks. You interview before hiring and get a free replacement within 30 days if it does not work out.

Can you handle payroll?+

Yes, optionally. We invoice you by card or bank through Stripe and the rep receives mobile money the same day, for 10% of monthly pay. Or pay them directly yourself at no charge.
