Lundi supports compliant employment in Rwanda for specialist hires — Kigali has built itself as East Africa's regional business hub. For broader African scaling and deeper talent pools we typically recommend Kenya, South Africa, or Nigeria.
Rwanda has positioned itself as East Africa's regional business and innovation hub — Kigali concentrates the professional employment, with growing tech and financial services presence and strong government infrastructure support. English is the working language across professional roles (Rwanda transitioned from French to English as primary working language post-2008). Rwandan franc (RWF) is the local currency. Strong fit for specialist hires with East African operations, regional headquarters functions, or specifically valuing Rwanda's stable operating environment. For broader scaling Lundi typically recommends Kenya (deeper East African tech ecosystem), South Africa (deeper senior corporate), or Nigeria (larger tech market).
What it costs to employ someone through Lundi.
Lundi's cost is the all-in cost of the employee — gross salary plus statutory employer contributions plus customary benefits — and a Lundi management fee on top. The management fee depends on team size and scope: smaller teams pay a higher per-head rate, teams of 20+ get materially better unit economics, and Build–Operate–Transfer engagements are structured separately.
The alternative paths look like: setting up your own local entity (meaningful months of legal and accounting work, plus ongoing in-country HR, payroll, and compliance infrastructure), engaging a local recruitment agency on contingency (typically a percentage of first-year compensation, paid once, with no ongoing employment relationship), or hiring as a contractor (lower upfront cost, real misclassification risk in most jurisdictions). Lundi is faster than entity setup, structurally different from contingency recruitment, and lower-risk than contractor arrangements.

The statutory notice period in Rwanda is 15 days’ notice for employees within the first year of service, increasing to 1 month following completion of one year of service.
Lundi works with companies building teams of 10 or more across business, technical, and operational functions . Not for one-off hires or individual placements.
EOR platforms employ individuals for you. Lundi recruits, employs, and operates concentrated teams — including day-to-day management, HR, and an optional path to your own entity. It's the operating model for companies that have outgrown the EOR ceiling.
