\nWith Deep Roots in Africa, Andela Begins Global Expansion, Including a Major Growth of Engineering Talent in Latin and South America
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

NEW YORK, April 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Andela<\/u><\/a>, the global talent network that helps companies build remote engineering teams, today announced the global expansion of their engineering talent. Expanding into new regions allows Andela clients to tap into regional expertise and nuances that can support their international growth. Andela has a proven track-record connecting remote engineers with opportunities from businesses across the globe, and is perfectly positioned to support global talent for businesses worldwide. With engineers from 37 countries across five continents, Andela clients have access to a truly global network of talented engineers.<\/p>\n

Andela is a magnet for global engineering talent. Applications from qualified engineers outside of Africa have increased by more than 750% in the past six months. In March alone, more than 30% of Andela inbound engineer applications came from outside of Africa, half of which came from Latin America, creating significant increases in time-zone coverage for Andela clients. Even with the fast global growth, Africa is also expanding rapidly, with 500% growth in the past six months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAndela\u2019s mission is to connect brilliance with opportunity. This expansion has always been part of our long term roadmap, and we’re excited that the world is ready for it. When we began inviting developers from across Africa to apply last year, we more than doubled the number of countries represented. We’re already seeing the same effects in new regions, and we\u2019re excited to welcome new talent into our growing community,\u201d said Jeremy Johnson<\/strong>, CEO at Andela. \u201cThe future of work is now, and this expansion continues our march towards bringing us all closer together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andela\u2019s global expansion provides clients with greater diversity, which McKinsey reported<\/u><\/a> to be a major factor in delivering innovation and company growth. Andela clients will have more flexibility to build diverse teams across country borders, skill sets, time zones, and cultures. The future of remote work is global, and Andela provides the vital link to talent wherever it is found.<\/p>\n

\n Dana Lawson<\/strong>, VP of Engineering at GitHub<\/u><\/a> confirms, \u201cAs a business in the developer tool space, a lot of us are trying to enter those areas of the world (Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa) where the emergent developers are coming so we can better understand their needs. Having a local presence there with amazing talent is super valuable to building a global product.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen exponential growth and interest from engineers from across Africa, who want to work with some of the world\u2019s most exciting technology-focussed companies. Growing our network of talent from Africa, to include more markets, is a unique proposition and we continue to match talent with opportunity, beyond geographical boundaries. Our globalization will further increase our footprint, creating more opportunities for Andela to showcase the visibility into the capabilities of engineers from the continent,\u201d said Martin Chikilian<\/strong>, Head of Talent Operations at Andela.<\/p>\n
