In today’s increasingly global business landscape, Africa stands out as a region full of untapped opportunities and dynamic markets. Yet, with its diversity comes complexity—especially in managing Human Resources, immigration procedures, payroll compliance, and local employment regulations. For companies looking to scale across the continent, having a reliable, experienced partner is not just helpful—it’s essential.
That’s where Career Options Africa Ltd (COA) comes in. We are Africa’s leading on-ground human resources agency, with an extensive presence across nine countries, including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Burundi, Nigeria, South Africa, and South Sudan. With more than 20 years of hands-on experience, COA provides tailored HR and immigration solutions that empower organizations to expand confidently and compliantly across the continent.
Our Mission: Empowering Growth Through People and Process
At COA, we believe that great people are the foundation of great businesses. Our mission is to simplify the complex processes involved in building and managing a workforce in Africa. We support organizations in navigating cross-border challenges, understanding local labor laws, and implementing workforce strategies that align with their business goals.
Whether you're a multinational entering Africa for the first time or a regional company scaling into new countries, our goal is to provide end-to-end support—from recruitment and onboarding to compliance and payroll.
What Sets COA Apart?
1. Pan-African Presence with Local Expertise
Africa is not one market—it's a mosaic of cultures, languages, and legal frameworks. Our in-country teams offer deep local insights that global consulting firms simply can’t match. With registered legal entities and dedicated staff in each of the nine countries we operate in, COA is truly embedded in the markets we serve.
This means you benefit from:
- Direct local support
- Accurate, up-to-date knowledge of national laws and procedures
- Faster processing times and fewer administrative hurdles
2. End-to-End HR and Immigration Solutions
Our service model is designed to cover every stage of your HR lifecycle. These include:
Recruitment and Talent Acquisition
We identify, vet, and onboard skilled professionals who meet your needs. Our recruitment teams specialize in both local and international talent searches.
Immigration and Work Permit Support
Navigating visa requirements, residency permits, and employment authorizations can be challenging—especially when dealing with multiple jurisdictions. We handle all documentation, liaison with authorities, and compliance checks to ensure smooth employee relocations.
Employer of Record (EOR) Services
Need to hire in a country where you don’t yet have a legal entity? COA can legally employ staff on your behalf, ensuring full compliance with local labor laws while you focus on your core business.
Payroll Administration
From calculating salaries and deductions to filing statutory payments and tax reports, our payroll solutions ensure your staff are paid accurately and on time in every country of operation.
Contractor Management
We help you engage independent contractors safely and legally, with secure payment systems and contract management that protects both parties.
3. Over Two Decades of Experience

Our team of HR experts, immigration consultants, and legal advisors brings a wealth of knowledge and practical expertise to every client engagement.

In a market where hidden costs and vague terms are all too common, COA stands out for its transparency. We offer clear, upfront pricing with no surprise fees. Our clients know exactly what they’re paying for, and why.
5. Client-Centric Service and Support
