Unfilled positions
Skilled and support staff in logistics and care are chronically scarce in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Every open role strains teams and customer satisfaction.
Afrika-Consult
Solve the skills shortage sustainably: qualified, German-speaking talent for your business.
We support mid-sized companies in German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and place pre-qualified professionals from East and West Africa for logistics and healthcare. 100% risk-free under the Skilled Immigration Act — fees only on success.

The challenge
The crisis in the German-speaking labour market
In logistics, warehousing and care, positions remain open for months. For mid-sized companies in German-speaking countries, that means overtime, quality risk and growing dependence on expensive temporary staffing.
Demographic pressure
Retirement outpaces new entrants. Without a reliable talent pipeline, shift plans and service continuity are at risk.
Need for reliability
Employers need predictable, well-prepared people — not short-term fixes with unclear suitability and heavy admin overhead.
Why Afrika-Consult
Our advantages
We reduce the load on HR and management teams in mid-sized companies across German-speaking countries and deliver pre-qualified candidates — legally sound, transparent and success-based.
Language pre-qualification
Candidates with B1 or B2 German certificates. Communication in teams and with customers is viable from day one.
Full bureaucracy relief
We support visa processes, ZAB recognition and the accelerated skilled worker procedure under § 81a Residence Act — you stay informed, we run the process.
Zero risk for employers
Pure contingency model: you pay our fee only after successful placement. No upfront costs, no speculative retainers.
How we work
The process – in 3 simple steps
A clear, traceable process — from needs analysis to onboarding on site.

- 03
Visa & onboarding
After acceptance we support visa and entry and assist with structured onboarding — so the start at your site runs smoothly.
About the founder
Building bridges between business, administration and African talent
Successful international recruitment rarely fails because of people’s potential – it fails because of bureaucratic hurdles, missing cultural translation work and a lack of process discipline.
Jacob Mugoya
Founder & Managing Director, Afrika-Consult
My profile & background
As an expert at the intersection of diplomatic administration, international public management and development engagement, I know the challenges of demographic change in the DACH region first-hand.
Through many years of professional work in the diplomatic environment in Vienna and a solid academic specialisation in Public Management (FH Campus Wien), I understand the legal, administrative and consular procedures between Europe and African partner states in detail.
As founder and chair of Africa Gala Vienna, I also have a deeply rooted network in East and West Africa as well as within the European diaspora. I understand the language, cultural and professional qualifications of African talent just as well as the high quality and compliance expectations of mid-sized companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Why Afrika-Consult?
With certification to Project Management Austria (pma) standards, I pursue a strictly milestone-based and risk-free approach at Afrika-Consult:
Bureaucracy mastery
We steer accelerated skilled worker procedures (§ 81a Residence Act in DE, Red-White-Red Card in AT, or Swiss quota assessments) precisely and in a legally sound manner.
Language & cultural pre-qualification
We do not place anonymous CVs, but personally interviewed talent with proven German language skills (A2/B1/B2).
Entrepreneurial risk management
We work on a pure success basis – our fee is only due once your new employee has signed the contract and successfully started with you.
