[3][4] Andela focuses on sustainable careers, connecting technologists with long-term engagements,[5] access to international roles, and competitive compensation.

[6] Andela allows companies to access technical talent in approximately 135 countries who are skilled in application development, artificial intelligence, data engineering, cloud, and DevOps.

[7] Andela was founded in 2014 by Jeremy Johnson, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, Nadayar Enegesi, Brice Nkengsa, Ian Carnevale, and Christina Sass.

[16][17] As of 2021, Andela provided technologists from six continents the ability to access opportunities with global companies on long-term embedded contracts.

They identify and recruit technologists from around 135 countries (with a 60% concentration in digital talent in emerging markets, such as  Africa and Latin America), and place them in remote contract roles with companies.

Lastly, a broader leadership assessment test is used in the match process with regard to candidates and their prospective employers.

Andela uses all of this data, combined with what they know about the company and hiring manager, to create a "match fitness score" to predict the probability that a given candidate will be successful in a specific role.

Members of the Andela Learning Community have either earned basic skills in software design and development, or advanced applications like React Native, Google Cloud, Android, and other mobile web services.

This community enables engineers to access additional learning resources and information, connect with mentors, source career opportunities and interact with fellow learners.
