FAQs

Everything you need to know about Rafiki's fully-managed service, the ideal option for projects needing additional support, end-to-end, and various levels of consultancy from Rafiki's core team.  

Why choose Rafiki?

We're a team of founders across various early-stage startups, creative, design, and development agencies. We're hands-on operators with a passion for building interesting businesses. Our approach as an agency leverages our own platform, Rafiki X, to provide clients with flexible talent on demand with a lower capital outlay and commitment upfront. When needed, we bolster our own in-house team with top fractional specialists.

Why choose fractional hiring over other agencies or full-time employees?

Benefit from highly skilled talent without the full-time commitment, along with a solution to hiring pop-up teams on demand. By utilising a fractional approach, you can scale resources up and down on demand to manage fluctuating business or project needs risk accordingly. A low-cost, longer-term commitment to us creates higher-value outcomes and a robust approach to your workforce and business growth.

How do you vet your talent?

We take a 3 stage approach to vetting talent. Following an application, we invite top prospects for an interview, assessing skills, experience, and career aspirations. At times, we request certain KYC documents. We prioritise skill over traditional degrees, work experience, and cross-check with any testimonials available to accept expert, high-intent talent.

What skill sets do you cover?

Currently our core strengths and focus areas are Product Designers, Creative Strategists, Digital Marketers, and Low-Code Web Developers. We also cover Full-Stack Development, Growth and Performance Marketing and Social Media support. Further support in Sales Development, Strategy Consulting, and a multitude of additional verticals can be provided through our extended talent network, or by our exclusive partners.

How is my project managed?

Our fully managed service takes a traditional agency approach when it comes to end to end management of workflows, outcomes, and product management. Where we differ slightly, is in our ability to consistently adjust the team on your project in an efficient manner, ensuring your needs are met on a continuously adjusted, needs-basis.

For a more direct-talent approach, without the need for Rafiki Consultancy, Project Management or end-to-end support from our internal team, Rafiki X offers flexible options we're able to facilitate.
