ABOUT LONADD

Today we deliver end-to-end solutions across talent acquisition, HR outsourcing, payroll, training, and consulting — serving both local and international organizations with an ISO-certified framework.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Trusted by Leading Organizations

Partnerships built on results, not promises. Hear from the organizations that trust LonAdd.

LonAdd Consultancy PLC identified top candidates from over 500 applications in a short period of time, which was instrumental for the Embassy due to the time-sensitive nature of the shortlisting process. LonAdd also well understood the Embassy's requirements and worked well to our specifications, while also demonstrating strong communication skills and good response times. The Embassy is satisfied with overall performance of LonAdd Consultancy PLC and would use the service in the future.

Embassy of Ireland

Ireland Fellows Programme shortlisting

Overall the recruitment process went smoothly and your support was greatly appreciated. We also very much appreciated your very quick response time in case of any questions or issues. We feel the pre-selection of candidates worked reasonably well, and we very much appreciated you sending us another round of shortlisted candidates when we did not have a sufficiently large number of qualified applicants in the first round.

KfW

Smooth recruitment support

We had the pleasure of working with LonAdd in Ethiopia to recruit a Regional Director for our organization. Their services were outstanding from start to finish. LonAdd demonstrated exceptional diligence in presenting a wide range of highly qualified candidates. Their follow-up on appointments was careful, and they maintained clear and timely communication throughout the process. We highly recommend LonAdd for their recruitment services.

Max Foundation

Outstanding recruitment service

We are satisfied with the caliber of candidates submitted for this role, which has streamlined our final selection process. The time taken for candidate identification and recruitment has been quite reasonable, especially given the complexities inherent in the position's requirements. Given the outcomes achieved, DKT is confident that the value of our investments in this recruitment effort is justified.

DKT International

Syngenta

5-year partnership

We are pleased to share that our Office Manager has been performing very well — professional, communicative, and a hard worker. Regarding the Project Agronomists, all three joined our team and are doing well. Overall, we appreciate the quality of candidates presented and the smooth coordination during the recruitment process.

OCP Africa

Quality candidates, smooth coordination

I personally very much value and appreciate LonAdd as an HR consultancy firm — one of the well-established, well-recognized and vibrant institutions. I have been to your office a couple of times and observed the office setup, team alignment, collaboration, commitment and good communication and customer handling. All these are because of very good leadership, team knowledge and commitment.
