We publish every update of our platform and services here: African country openings, new features, integrations and improvements. Concrete proof that a pan-African HRTech is built over time, across the 54 countries of Africa.
To Do: The client, employee, and contractor each have an inbox. The To Do tab gathers what is awaiting action on their part. Each task has a deadline, is sorted by urgency (Overdue, Due Soon, Waiting on a Third Party), a…
Contractors now get their most important reminders on WhatsApp, where they actually read them. During hiring: the invitation to complete their information, the contract details to check, then the moment it is their turn …
A client-side HR monitoring space, with two clearly separate objects. A warning is an act of the employer, dated, with its written notice attached: verbal, formal, then final. After two warnings still in force, the next …
Pay items cover transport, meal, housing and remote-work allowances, performance, exceptional and signing bonuses, the thirteenth month and commission. Each company can add names of its own. An item is paid once or every…

The Discover tab, until now reserved for talents, opens to clients. The platform introduces itself there domain by domain: recruitment, team management, payroll and invoicing, time and absences, contracts and electronic …
The dashboard changes in nature. It used to show headcount by gender, monthly costs and sites; it now gives what people come for, active talents and countries covered, then the most frequent moves within reach: start a r…
One e-mail address can now open several workspaces: a company where you are the client, an engagement where you are the contractor or the employee. On signing in, a screen lays them out, companies on one side with the ro…
Screens were drawn for a fixed width. On a large monitor the content stayed squeezed in the middle, surrounded by empty space, and a table of thirty workers had to be read in a narrow column. The page structure was rewor…
The core was reworked in depth. The data model was reviewed and adjusted first, then the new code laid on top of it, with a clear separation between the applications and the libraries they consume. That structure comes w…

Backend module that automatically sends emails at six key moments around every employee contract: on full signature by all parties, two days before contract start, then one day, seven days, thirty days after start, and e…
Overhaul of the client recruitment views: one-click duplication of a recruitment, public sharing of a candidate file or a job description via link (URL accessible without a Kernel account), explicit validation of the job…
