At Breedj, we believe remote work can transform lives. Impact sourcing is an integral part of our mission. Here’s a comprehensive FAQ to understand how employment can become a driver of sustainable inclusion.
1. What is impact sourcing?
Impact sourcing is a recruitment approach that involves hiring talent from underrepresented or marginalized regions, often in developing or economically transitioning areas. The goal is to create sustainable economic opportunities for these populations while meeting business needs.
At Breedj, this means recruiting qualified professionals in African countries where access to formal employment is limited and enabling them to work remotely for international companies.
2. How is impact sourcing different from traditional hiring?
In traditional hiring, companies often look for candidates in well-connected geographic areas with developed ecosystems. Impact sourcing, on the other hand, seeks to include talents who are often excluded from the global market—not due to a lack of skills, but because of their location or structural barriers (infrastructure, limited local markets, etc.).
3. Why do companies choose impact sourcing?
For several reasons:
Social commitment and CSR: Integrating impact sourcing into HR strategy is a concrete act of engagement.
Talent loyalty and motivation: Talents from these regions are often more committed and grateful.
Diversity of profiles: Cultural richness and non-traditional backgrounds foster innovation.
Cost optimization: A more economical model than hiring locally in high-salary countries, while remaining ethical.
4. What types of talent are involved in impact sourcing?
It’s not about low-cost outsourcing. The talents involved include:
Qualified virtual assistants
Developers, designers, or technical profiles
Back-office specialists, accountants, HR, data entry
Digital marketing, customer support, or project management professionals
They often have solid training but few local opportunities.
5. How does Breedj select its talent?
We have established a rigorous pre-selection process that includes:
Technical and language skills tests
Verification of access to a stable work environment (internet, equipment, availability)
One-on-one interviews focused on soft skills and remote work culture
Reference checks and reliability assessment
Our goal is to provide clients with reliable, skilled, and committed professionals.
6. What guarantees does Breedj offer talents recruited through impact sourcing?
We are committed to:
Providing a compliant work framework (via employment outsourcing or EOR)
Ensuring regular, secure, and transparent payments
Supporting talent through upskilling programs
Offering social protection, clear contracts, and personalized follow-up
Breedj doesn’t just recruit. We build remote careers.
7. Do client companies know they are hiring through impact sourcing?
Yes, and it’s even a differentiator for our clients. Many incorporate this aspect into their CSR communication or ESG reporting. We can provide, upon request, social impact reports, talent testimonials, and key indicators.
8. What are the measurable benefits of impact sourcing?
Among the most observed results:
Improved standard of living for the talent and their family
Reduction of geographic and gender inequalities
Brain drain prevention
Access to an international career from the country of origin
Breedj tracks these impacts with concrete indicators (average contract duration, salary growth, satisfaction, etc.).
9. Is this model scalable for a large company?
Absolutely. Breedj is designed to support both SMEs and large corporations through a tech platform that enables:
Sourcing, contracting, and tracking dozens of talents
Automating administrative and payroll management
Managing multiple countries at once through a single interface
We have already supported companies in multi-country recruitment across Africa with a single point of contact.
