Hiring is running 19 days ahead of last quarter, and the mobile team's sentiment jumped after Thursday's release. Two people are trending toward a flight-risk range. It might be worth a 1:1 this week with Ifeoma and Kweku.

The stack tax
The stack we replaced
Most teams pay for seven HR tools that don't talk to each other. Careersome replaces them with one connected platform. Here is the math, on average, for a 30-person team.
Converted amounts are estimates for planning. Final quotes are in your agreement.

Built here, not bolted on
Most HR software was built for London or San Francisco. Careersome was built in Lagos.
Careersome was designed for the real texture of running teams across Lagos, Nairobi, Accra and Johannesburg. No more spreadsheets. No more chasing managers on WhatsApp. One system, live data, and an AI that understands your context.
Always in real time.
When a manager approves leave at 3pm, your finance team sees it at 3pm. Not Friday's export.

Spot problems early.
Two people on the mobile team are trending toward flight risk. Compensation is 4.6% below market for senior roles in Lagos. You see this Monday morning, not at the exit interview with Ifeoma or Kweku.

Straight answers
The things people always ask us before they sign up.
Pricing, modules, compliance, rollout. If you don't see your question here, the fastest answer is usually a 15-minute call with our team.
What is Careersome, and how is it different from the HR tools we already use?+
Most HR tools store your people data. Careersome makes sense of it. Instead of five dashboards and a pivot table, you get plain-English insights written from live data, across recruitment, performance, compensation and time off, all in one place.
Do I have to adopt the full platform, or can I start with one module?+
Start with one. Most teams begin with Recruitment or Time off and grow into the rest. The value compounds as more modules share the same data layer, but there's no "all or nothing."
Is Careersome built for African compliance and labour law?+
Yes. Payroll logic, leave entitlements, statutory reports and data residency are tuned for Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and South Africa, with more jurisdictions added quarterly.
How long does it take to get up and running?+
Under a week for teams up to 50. For larger orgs, we run a structured 2 to 4 week rollout with a named onboarding lead, no slide decks, just your actual data migrated alongside you.
How does pricing work, per employee, per module, or both?+
Per employee, with a simple Lite / Core / Enterprise tier. Modules are unlocked by tier, not billed individually. Transparent pricing lives on the pricing page, no "contact sales" before you see a number.
Can Careersome handle blue-collar, pink-collar and remote workers together?+
Yes. Shift timesheets, biometric check-ins, remote geofencing and desk-worker flows live inside the same platform, so one report shows your whole workforce, not just part of it.
How does the AI learn what's normal for my specific business?+
Your models are your models. The AI is scoped to your org's data and tuned during onboarding. Nothing is trained on other customers, and sensitive signals stay inside your workspace.
