Bespoke Service Options
At Africa Rising, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. As a boutique executive search and talent advisory firm, we take a tailored approach to every client engagement, whether you’re a fast growing startup, a pan-African NGO, or an investment backed fund.
We design custom search and talent solutions based on your hiring goals, market realities, and organizational needs.
The services listed below represent just a few of the options we offer. Because every organization is different, we adapt each engagement to fit your leadership structure, urgency, and growth stage.
-
We help you define exactly what leadership you need—whether it's a growth-stage Head of Ops, a project-based CFO, or a regional expansion lead. We align on scope, priorities, and outcomes before sourcing, so you're not wasting time interviewing the wrong profile.
-
Receive a handpicked list of vetted, Africa-experienced fractional executives within 30 days. Every candidate is pre-screened for functional fit, leadership style, and availability. No cold CVs—just decision-ready talent.
-
Whether you need a few hours per week, a short-term project lead, or a steady part-time exec—we match you with leaders open to remote, hybrid, or on-site setups. Pay for strategy, not overhead.
-
Not sure if you need a full-time COO or just someone to fix a broken process? We advise on how to structure the role, scope early wins, and build a path to full-time if and when it makes sense.
-
We specialize in placing fractional talent in situations that require urgency, flexibility, or temporary cover—whether that’s navigating a key hire’s exit, expanding into new markets, or bridging a leadership gap.
