Now launching in Lagos, Nairobi and Abidjan

Hire verified workers in days. No middleman.

GigTap is hiring infrastructure for Africa's frontline workforce: riders, warehouse teams, retail staff, cooks, guards and field agents. Every worker is ID-checked, reference-checked and skills-screened before you meet them.

Free for workers. Always.

Africa has the world's youngest workforce. Hiring still runs on who you know.

Businesses across the continent are growing faster than their ability to hire people they can trust. Workers are ready, but invisible. The layer in between is agents, relatives, roadside boards and paper guarantor forms.

~86%

of employment in Africa is informal: no contract, no record, no verified work history.

UN DESA

What employers deal with

  • Candidates arrive through agents or referrals, with no way to check identity or history.
  • Guarantor forms and references sit on paper and are rarely confirmed.
  • Early churn means rehiring the same role again and again.
  • Contracts and statutory compliance are patchy across labour suppliers.

What workers deal with

  • Agents take a cut of early wages, or charge just to put a name forward.
  • Skills learned on the job don't count without a certificate.
  • Every new job starts from zero. No record follows you.
  • Pay arrives late, in cash, with no proof of income.

    Only verified, available candidates who live near your site. Interview on your schedule.

  4. Hire and manage

    Offer letters, attendance and mobile money payouts in one place, with a work record that builds every month.

What verified means on GigTap

Verification is the product, not a checkbox. Every profile carries the checks behind it, so you can see exactly what was confirmed.

  • Identity

    Matched against national ID (NIN, Ghana Card, Kenyan ID, CNI) with a live selfie.

  • Guarantors and references

    Collected digitally and confirmed by phone, not left in a paper file.

  • Skills

    Screened through voice interviews in English, French, Swahili, Hausa, Yoruba, Pidgin and Wolof.

  • Address and background

    Address confirmation and background checks through licensed local partners, where the law allows.

  • Work history

    Every completed job adds to a portable record that the next employer can trust.
