Where hires are based
Define the work
Employers share roles, overlap, and budget. We focus on intermediate and senior developers—proof of shipping and ownership, not entry-level ramp-only roles.
Match & contract
We shortlist, you interview. Contracts and pay rails are agreed before day one.
Pay, tax, repeat
Runs go out on schedule with statutory lines visible. Scale headcount without reinventing ops each time.
*Figures are network-wide averages for illustration; actual pay depends on role, seniority, and market.

Professional standards
for cross-border work
We prioritise substantive roles with predictable compensation and contracts that hold up in the real world—rent, tax filings, and long-term planning included.
Employers get dependable delivery; professionals get documentation and pay transparency that matches their seniority.
The four tiles opposite are how we operate day to day—they shape who we partner with on both sides.

Payments, taxes,
and the paperwork around them
savannalab is as much about money movement and compliance as it is about matching CVs to job descriptions.
Contract packs
Engagement letters that match how you actually pay—employee, contractor, or hybrid.
Statutory visibility
Withholdings and contributions broken out so professionals see where the money goes.

Work with licensed partners where filings are required; no pretend DIY magic.
Local settlement
Funds routed to bank or mobile money where the rail exists and is compliant.
From both sides of the hire
US and European leaders on compliance, overlap, and teams that ship—with builders who align to your hours, not the other way around.
Payroll used to be a weekly fire drill. As CEO I want to give credit where it is due: our engineers in Africa ship like any other senior team. They see the same line items every month now, and finance finally stopped chasing screenshots.
Daniel Morrison
CEO, Keystone Analytics · US
Contract terms and tax withholding were spelled out before anyone signed. We needed overlap with CET and plain-language paperwork our counsel could approve—no improvisation. The shortlist was small but accurate; nobody vanished after the technical interview.
Claire Moreau
CEO, Nordlane Systems · France
We needed honest employment documentation and people who could join core US hours without drama. The developers we hired stepped into standups and on-call the same way our Bay Area team does—we did not have to rebuild our calendar around another continent.
