HIRE IT TALENTS FROM THE MENA REGION

We are empowering vulnerable IT talents from North Africa and the Middle East to find remote IT jobs with you.

BACKGROUND

Remotecoders is a social spin-off of Powercoders, a coding academy, and an IT job integration program originally from Switzerland. Together with the Swiss government and several foundations, Remotecoders is determined to offer IT talents from vulnerable groups in North Africa and the Middle East remote job opportunities with European and international  IT companies.

CHALLENGES

We are connecting two of the most pressing challenges for Europe to one solution:

1. Migration: Vulnerable people in North Africa and the Middle East don’t have the same opportunities. Especially no access to the remote IT job market. Therefore many decide to migrate to Europe.  

2. Digitalization: The European IT industry is lacking IT professionals on all levels. Since the COVID-19 crisis it also does not matter that much anymore from where they work.

SOLUTION

Our solution is designed and optimized to place vulnerable IT talents from the MENA region in remote jobs with European IT companies. Our 7-step-process is as follows:

COST

The salary for the internship (traineeship) is CHF/USD 600 - 1’000/month depending if you hire directly or through a local partner including costs for infrastructure. Remotecoders is a non-profit and is partially funded through the industry. Therefore we ask for an optional donation for every internship/short term employment.

COMPANY JOURNEY

Our top priority is to find remote IT jobs in Europe and offer them to vulnerable IT talents in the MENA region. Therefore we are always looking for companies who are willing and motivated to:

MAKE IT A SUCCESS

We are determined to provide the best candidates for you. On the other hand we know that you play a crucial role to make this a success. Here the success factors:

• Offering a remote opportunity to a vulnerable person as a team/organization and open to live through the cultural exchange. 

• Enough human resources to provide an internal person in charge especially in the beginning. 

• Financial resources of average CHF/USD 10’000 including salary and infrastructure.

• Willingness to evaluate a follow-up solution (eg. a junior or senior position).
