Candidates never pay a fee. The employer pays.
In line with § 5 AMFG: placement is free of charge for jobseekers.
Afrika-Consult · Vienna
Africa and Europe, connected by people who know both.
We connect qualified Kenyan talent with employers in Austria – in cooperation with licensed partners.
Network and events for companies and organisationsThe situation
Open roles here. Qualified people in Kenya.
In hospitality and the technical trades, roles in Austria stay open. In Kenya there are trained, motivated people who want to take that path. We do not quote success rates or unverified figures. What we do commit to is a clear process and an honest timeframe.
Typically 6–9 months from the search agreement to the start date. That is a guide, not a promise.
What we will talk about
The role, German B1 as the minimum (B2 preferred), documents, and the path to the first day at work.
No promise on timing. No legal advice.

What we do
Three clear offers.
Talent placement
in cooperation with licensed partners. Licensed Kenyan agencies, registered with the National Employment Authority, and licensed placement partners in Austria.
Briefings and workshops
An introduction to hiring from Kenya, an overview of the Red-White-Red Card, and intercultural onboarding for receiving teams. Fees on request.
Network and events
Introductions, meetings and events in the Africa Gala Vienna tradition. No investment advice.
How it works
Four steps. Then the first day at work.
Typically 6–9 months from the search agreement to the start date. That is a guide, not a promise.
Needs analysis
We clarify the role, the shifts, the language and a realistic start. You then decide whether a search agreement makes sense.
Sourcing and pre-screening
Through licensed Kenyan partners. Not by us as the placing firm, until the trade is registered.
Video interviews and documents
You meet the people yourself. We coordinate dates and documents. The decision stays with you.
Arrival and check-ins
Support with arrival and onboarding. Conversations at months 1, 3 and 6. Paid by the employer.

Four questions almost every enquiry asks
Typically 6–9 months from the search agreement to the start date. That is a guide based on the usual path, not a promise and not a guaranteed date.
German B1 is the minimum, B2 is preferred. We use this wording everywhere. We do not put profiles below B1 forward.
A written policy for a hire that does not happen, or that ends early, is not agreed yet. Until then, only the individual search agreement applies. We will not invent a replacement or refund rule here.
No. Not for registration, not for placement, not for anything. If anyone asks you for money in our name, they are not acting for us. Report it to info@afrika-consult.com.
In Austria, § 5 of the Labour Market Promotion Act (Arbeitsmarktförderungsgesetz) requires placement to be free of charge for jobseekers, with narrow exceptions for artists and athletes. Our rule is plain: candidates never pay.
