1. Are you an Employer of Record (EOR)?
We are a Managed Staffing Partner. We handle the vetting, the local management, and the payroll. You get a dedicated team member without the HR headache or the need to set up a legal entity in Kenya. We take care of everything on the ground so you can focus on the results.
2. How do I pay my specialist?
It’s simple. You pay one monthly invoice in USD to Sahara VA Solutions via Wise, Bank Transfer, or Card. We handle the currency conversion, local Kenyan tax compliance (KRA), and payouts to the talent. No wire transfer fees or international tax paperwork for you.
3. What about the time difference?
Kenya is ideally positioned. We are typically 7–8 hours ahead of US EST, which creates a ‘Follow the Sun’ workflow. Your Hunter can complete tasks while you sleep, or we can arrange for overlapping hours for real-time collaboration. Our Specialists are vetted for their flexibility and ‘Plan B’ reliability.
4. What if the talent doesn’t work out?
This is where our 14-Day Risk-Free Trial comes in. If your specialist isn’t your best hire of the year within the first two weeks, you don’t pay. After the trial, if a talent ever needs to be replaced, we handle the transition and find a new Hunter at no extra cost to you.
5. Why Kenya and the ‘Silicon Savannah’?
Kenya is the tech and creative capital of Africa. Our talent is native English-speaking, highly educated, and culturally aligned with Western business standards. By hiring from the Silicon Savannah, you are getting high-IQ, disciplined ‘Hunters’ who are hungry to prove their value on the global stage.
6. How do you vet your ‘Hunters’?
Our process is led by our founder, a trained Psychologist. We don’t just look at resumes; we conduct Cognitive and Personality profiling to ensure the talent has the brainpower and the ‘No-Excuse’ discipline your business requires. Only the top 1% make it through.
7. Who actually manages the person day-to-day?
You manage their tasks and priorities, but Sahara VA Solutions manages the person. Tesh and our operations team provide ongoing quality control, performance tracking, and infrastructure support to ensure your Hunter stays sharp and productive.
