About

Kenyan customer operations talent for global teams.

Olera is a specialist talent platform. We find, vet, and match Kenyan professionals to customer support, customer success, virtual assistant, and operations roles at companies around the world.

What we do

Olera is not a job board. We do not take a percentage of salary. We are a specialist placement service that focuses on one category — customer operations — in one geography — Kenya — for one type of client: remote-first and globally distributed companies.

That narrow focus is intentional. It means we understand the talent pool deeply, know what good looks like for each role type, and can deliver a shortlist of three to five genuinely relevant candidates rather than a long list for you to sort through yourself.

For candidates, Olera is completely free. We earn only when an employer hires — a single flat fee, paid once, with a 60-day replacement guarantee included.

Why Kenya

Kenya has a mature customer operations base. The country has well-established BPO, contact centre, banking, telecoms, hospitality, and technology sectors. Nairobi in particular has produced a generation of professionals who have handled real customer operations at scale.

English is an official language and a working language across most Kenyan professional environments. Proficiency is genuine, not certificated.

Kenya's time zone (EAT, UTC+3) overlaps with European business hours and provides meaningful coverage for US morning shifts. For global companies with customers across multiple time zones, Kenyan talent fills a useful gap.

The cost basis is competitive with other offshore markets — without the quality compromise that sometimes accompanies lower-cost talent pools.
