About us
Lifesavers is a talent placement company that sources, places, and supervises administrative and operational professionals for clients globally. We work with Africa's top talent — and we take that seriously.
We handle the search, the screening, the placement — and we stay involved after the hire. Our supervision packages mean you're not left to figure it out alone once someone starts.
Our clients are founders, operators, and creatives who want capable support and a placement partner they can trust. Our talent is sourced from across Africa.
Recruitment ends at the hire. We built Lifesavers because that's exactly when the real work begins. Post-placement supervision is how we stay accountable to the match we made.
We source from across Africa. We place with clients across time zones. Every candidate goes through a structured assessment before they ever reach you.

Why we exist
"I started my career as an EA and realised quickly that even when the placement goes well, the structure often isn't there — no toolkit, no real framework to follow."
I was placed into a role with an onboarding call, but there was nothing structured after that. No toolkit, no check-ins, no one to call when things felt unclear. I nearly quit more times than I can count.
I figured it out eventually — and then people started asking for a talent like me. That's when I saw the gap clearly: busy clients without bandwidth to build proper onboarding, and brilliant assistants who feel lost with no structure to hold them.
Lifesavers exists for both sides. We place the right person and we stay involved — because a good match without structure is just another person left to figure it out alone.

What clients say
I honestly don't know how I would have found someone like Betty — or had the bandwidth to train her — with everything on my plate. Nearly two years in and she's still exactly where she needs to be. Lifesavers made that possible.

As a busy professional, every hour counts. Lifesavers handled the finding, the interviewing, and the training — and took a real weight off my plate. I didn't have to manage any of it.
