Founded in Ethiopia in 2010, R&D Group helps organizations tap into Africa's growing pool of skilled, cost-competitive talent. With offices in Addis Ababa, Nairobi and Rotterdam, we serve local and international clients across multiple markets, building each engagement around the client's goals rather than the other way around.
We provide end-to-end outsourcing services, including recruitment and workforce deployment, Employer of Record (EOR), customer and back-office support, data annotation and labeling, and other customized BPO services. Our data services cover image, video, text, audio and 3D annotation, supported by our proprietary data-labeling platform and human-in-the-loop quality assurance.
With a talent pool of more than 1,000 skilled professionals, we help clients strengthen existing teams, manage remote staff or hand off entire functions. Clients typically save up to 30% compared with other outsourcing markets, without compromising quality.
We believe sustainable growth should benefit the people who deliver the work as well as the businesses that receive it. Our approach is ethical, transparent and fair, and it rests on clear standards: ISO 9001 certification, ongoing ISO 27001 implementation, GDPR-aligned data protection and a commitment to responsible AI.
