Andela is a private marketplace for technical talent.[3][4] Andela focuses on sustainable careers, connecting technologists with long-term engagements,[5] access to international roles, and competitive compensation.[6]

Key Information

Andela allows companies to access technical talent in approximately 135 countries who are skilled in application development, artificial intelligence, data engineering, cloud, and DevOps. It sources, screens, and onboards the talent, handling the entirety of the hiring lifecycle. Andela uses AI/ML in its platform to match applicants with available roles.[7]

History

[edit]

Andela was founded in 2014 by Jeremy Johnson, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, Nadayar Enegesi, Brice Nkengsa, Ian Carnevale, and Christina Sass.[8] In May 2014, Andela launched their first recruitment cycle in Lagos by putting their first call for applications on Twitter. The company hired their first cohort—four Nigerian software engineers—after receiving 700 applications for 4 spots.[9]

Between 2015 and 2017 Andela had Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey come to visit their campuses in Lagos and Nairobi.[10]

In 2018, Andela celebrated the first two sets of engineers to complete the four-year program.[11]

In 2019, Christina Sass stepped down from her full-time role as President and transitioned into a supporting role as the Chair of the Andela Advisory Council and the Andela Alumni Group.[12][13]

While the initial route for engineers to join the company was via the Andela Fellowship, a four-year program geared towards junior engineers,[14] this changed in 2019. Andela widened its hiring criteria for mid and senior-level engineers in Lagos, Nairobi, and Kampala.[15] After their first remote expansions to Ghana and Egypt, the entire organization went fully remote in 2020.[16][17]

As of 2021, Andela provided technologists from six continents the ability to access opportunities with global companies on long-term embedded contracts. Andela’s applicants could undertake training in software languages such as Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, React Native, Node, PHP,[18] and more.

In March of 2023, Andela purchased Qualified, an assessment platform that verified engineers.[19] Andela purchased Casana, a network of IT talent based in Munich, in May of 2023. Through the acquisition of Casana, Andela increased its presence in Europe.[20]

At present, Andela is a two-sided marketplace with clients including Mastercard Foundry, GitHub, Goldman Sachs, Nebula.io, Kinship, Mindshare and ViacomCBS on the employer side, and a pool of over 150,000 digital talent on the contractor talent side. About 60% of those contractors are in Africa and Latin America, but Andela spans 135+ countries overall.[21]

On August 22, 2024, Carrol Chang, a longtime Uber executive who led its global driver and courier operations, was appointed as Andela's new chief executive officer.[21]

Business model

[edit]

Andela operates as a two-sided marketplace. They identify and recruit technologists from around 135 countries (with a 60% concentration in digital talent in emerging markets, such as  Africa and Latin America), and place them in remote contract roles with companies. As companies are able to hire persons from where they are residing, the effects of brain drain are mitigated. Andela provides individual contractors for clients to incorporate into their blended teams, full formed teams the client can then manage, or fully managed teams.[22]

Andela vets the technical talent before accepting them into its private on Andela Marketplace. The vetting is done through a series of online assessments. Technical assessments are conducted through Qualified by Andela, a developer assessment platform. Soft skills assessment are conducted to understand how prospective employees will engage with their future teammates and to better understand their preferences around work. Lastly, a broader leadership assessment test is used in the match process with regard to candidates and their prospective employers. Andela uses all of this data, combined with what they know about the company and hiring manager, to create a "match fitness score" to predict the probability that a given candidate will be successful in a specific role.[23]

Through its Andela Learning Community, Andela has partnered with numerous global technology companies to provide training programs and scholarships to technologists in Africa. Partners include Google, Microsoft, Pluralsight, among others. Members of the Andela Learning Community have either earned basic skills in software design and development, or advanced applications like React Native, Google Cloud, Android, and other mobile web services. This community enables engineers to access additional learning resources and information, connect with mentors, source career opportunities and interact with fellow learners.[24] From 2014 to 2024, Andela trained around 110,000 technologists in Africa through the Andela Learning Community. Thus, 15% of Africa's base of around 716,000 engineers were educated through Andela.[25]

Funding

[edit]

On June 25, 2015, Andela secured $10 million in Series A funding. Spark Capital led the investment and many of the Seed investors participated.[26]

The following year, The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative—founded and owned by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan—led in Andela’s $24 million Series B round of funding,[27] making it the first lead investment ever for the foundation.[28]

In October 2017, Andela secured $40 million in Series C funding, bringing the total the company had raised to $80 million.[29] The investment, led by CRE Venture Capital—a South African-based venture firm—is one of the largest investments to be led by an African venture firm into an African company.[30][31]

In January 2019, Generation Investment Management, a sustainable investment management firm, led Andela's $100M Series D round of funding, bringing Andela’s total venture funding to $180M.[32][33] The Series D also included Serena Williams’ investment platform, Serena Ventures.[34]

On September 29, 2021, Andela announced $200M Investment led by Softbank Vision Fund 2 with participation from new investor Whale Rock and existing investors including Generation Investment Management, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and Spark Capital.[35] Lydia Jett, founding partner at SoftBank Investment Advisers, joined Andela’s Board of Directors. The Series E financing valued the company at $1.5 billion, making it the first unicorn talent marketplace. Andela is one of the seven unicorn companies founded in Africa.[36][37]

Founding and History

Founding and Early Years

Andela was founded in 2014 in , , by Jeremy Johnson, , Nadayar Enegesi, Brice Nkengsa, Ian Carnevale, and Christina Sass. The initiative emerged from a vision to harness 's burgeoning youth population and technological potential to address economic challenges on the continent. The founders' motivations centered on tackling the global shortage of skilled software developers by training high-potential talent in for remote roles with international companies. This approach was heavily influenced by Jeremy Johnson's prior experience in education technology, where he co-founded 2U in 2008—a company that developed online degree programs for universities and went public on in 2014 as TWOU. Johnson viewed education as a critical pathway to opportunity, drawing parallels between 2U's model of accessible learning and Andela's goal of equipping African developers for the 21st-century .

Clients report high satisfaction with talent quality and reliability, as evidenced by Andela's G2 rating of 4.7/5 based on 111 reviews.

Controversies and Layoffs

In May 2020, Andela laid off 135 employees, representing approximately 10% of its workforce, as part of a strategic pivot from a full-time talent placement model to a more flexible talent marketplace. The cuts primarily affected non-engineering roles across locations in , , , and the , sparing developers amid economic pressures from the that reduced client demand for junior talent. Andela has faced criticisms for its heavy reliance on sourcing and exporting African software engineers to global clients, which some observers argue contributes to brain drain and disrupts local tech ecosystems by removing skilled workers from domestic markets. For instance, the company's 2019 decision to end junior developer training programs in , , and —resulting in up to 400 layoffs—flooded local job markets with talent but raised concerns about unsustainable extraction of without sufficient reinvestment in regional growth. This approach has been likened to models that prioritize international placements over building self-sustaining African tech hubs. In January 2025, Andela conducted a mass layoff as part of ongoing restructuring efforts, as reported by employees on and professional review sites. Additionally, in May 2024, filed a against Andela in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging of secrets, poaching of at least 30 employees, and solicitation of clients; the case remains ongoing as of November 2025. Employee reviews on Glassdoor reflect mixed experiences, with an overall rating of 3.7/5 based on more than 1,400 reviews. Some employees cite job security concerns and organizational changes amid repeated restructurings and layoffs. Trustpilot shows a lower rating of 2.3/5 from 17 reviews, with mixed feedback. In response to these challenges and layoffs, Andela provided affected employees with comprehensive severance packages, including four months of health coverage and placement assistance to aid job transitions. The company also adjusted its business model by shifting to a borderless talent marketplace, aiming to improve local retention through expanded opportunities for African engineers to work on regional projects while maintaining global access.
