There are 1 Companies in Uganda
that provide Staffing Services!

Uganda’s ICT sector was worth an estimated $5.48 billion in 2017, constituting 31.7% growth from 2016. The telecommunications segment makes up the vast majority of this at around $3.2 billion. Other important contributors are broadcasting, data center services, cloud, IT, and BPO.

Uganda’s combination of relatively stable governance, strategic location, and young and innovative population has made it an attractive destination for multinational companies. Several notable firms such as Google, Microsoft, or SAP have offices in Kampala, and some have based their entire African operations from these offices.

Why you should work with Ugandan IT companies

Digital service providers in the cloud and BPO markets are largely involved in the provision, rather than the development, of services, whilst Ugandan firms are more prevalent in the fintech and eCommerce markets. The physical technology required for the delivery of digital services is typically imported, and it is not clear that Uganda could produce these products more efficiently. 

A key strength in the digital services market is the acceptance of mobile services. Any consumer solution entering the market would have to be mobile-compatible. Mobile healthcare services are expected to grow particularly rapidly as the sophistication of these offerings increases.

What to pay attention to when working with Ugandan IT companies and web agencies

On the consumer side, it is vital that any proposed digital service offering be mobile-compatible due to the prevalence of mobile usage in Uganda. Furthermore, smartphone penetration in the region is steadily increasing, thus increasing the sophistication of viable digital service offerings. 

Given the acceptance of fintech by the Ugandan population, a possible route to entry in the consumer market is to acquire one of the many smaller fintech firms in the industry. This would resolve some of the primary barriers to entry, most specifically bureaucratic red tape and a lack of local knowledge. 

On the corporate side, the most effective route to entry is likely through partnerships with smaller local resellers. This model is already popular in the Ugandan market. A key differentiating feature here will be how well the service adapted to the Ugandan market

How reliable are Ugandan-based IT companies?

Considered to be one of the biggest African IT hubs, Ugandan web agencies and IT companies compete only with Ethiopian ones in terms of reliability. As many foreign companies have already invested and thus developed the local IT infrastructure and industry overall, Ugandan IT companies find it easier than other neighboring countries to enter the global market and provide their services for accessible prices. 

How does the Ugandan IT industry relate to the neighboring countries?

Uganda is actively trying to establish itself as a key ICT hub in the East African region. The country appears to be making good progress in this regard, helped by having a strong connectivity infrastructure and a young, innovative population. Despite this, the country currently faces considerable political uncertainty, and issues surrounding the transparency of tenders remain a major barrier to growth.

Although Uganda’s score for the metric measuring the economic impact of ICT is not high in absolute terms, it ranks 54th in the world. This supports the conjecture that businesses, government, and consumers will be receptive to new technologies as ICT has already had a substantial impact on the Ugandan economy.

How will ICT Impact Uganda in 2022?

Uganda has lost one of the telecom investors and operators on the market - Africell. The change has an immediate effect on the labor market and telecom industry. The reasons behind leaving Uganda is in limited possibilities the country offers to the telecom operator. For Uganda, 2022 is a challenging year in ICT with a low internet penetration rate, tech education, and, competitivity. 

Staffing is the process of finding the right workers and recruiting them for an open job position. The purpose of staffing is to help companies, that do not have the human resources capabilities, to find qualified candidates. On the other hand, it helps candidates to find the right opportunities for the skills, and experience they have. 

So, a staffing service is beneficial for both companies and job seekers. It can help in a variety of ways:

• Efficiently fill open positions.

• Match qualified candidates with company culture.

• Lower recruiting and hiring costs.

• Enhance hiring process quality.

It is important to mention that the staffing industry is expected to grow in the coming years, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%, as businesses are increasingly outsourcing their recruiting and staffing needs.

But, who is responsible for staffing?

Staffing is the responsibility of hiring managers, which focuses on recruitment, training, and development of human resources in their organizations. Every manager is responsible for effective staffing based on qualifications, knowledge, and skills. Confidentiality must be a principle maintained by staff involved in the staffing process.

Interestingly, 67% of hiring managers think it's important for hiring companies to use the latest technology and more than half (52%) of hiring managers say that one of their top recruiting challenges is gaining access to candidates with the right skills.

A staffing service focus can be a good option for businesses of all sizes, in all industries. However, it is particularly recommended for businesses that are growing rapidly, but have a limited budget for recruiting, but need to fill specialized positions.
