Remoteli has a popular young company culture.
They are available to clients in UK, US, India, France, Hong Kong, India andCanada. Working on more countries including Rwanda. Lots of francophone individuals which helps.
It’s important to get clients FIRST before hiring employees
Samuel welcomes competition
15-35 is africans most educated generation, more graduates than ever before. But also 150 million unemployed people between these ages.
The team grows due to demand not of want.
Remoteli has barely done marketing for the business. Business grown organically through referrals and word of mouth
Very important to lay down the vision to employees, clients and to recruit staff and to stakeholders
