Vetting is open and the counts on this page are live. We publish the accept ratio once the first cohort clears.See the counts

How it works

Four steps, and we publish the timings.

  • Day 0Tell us the work in your own words. No form asking how many “tasks” you have per month.
  • Day 1–3We shortlist vetted assistants for you and you meet them. You choose; we never assign.
  • Day 4They set their rate, you set the scope, and the engagement starts.
  • OngoingThey log their own hours and issue their own invoice. You approve it and see the whole split.

The vetting funnel

Every number here is a live count.

We publish the funnel instead of a badge. There is no certification body for this work, so the only honest credential is the arithmetic.

For assistants

The supply pitch, left in view.

Assistants never pay Mkono for anything: not to apply, not to train, not to be placed, not to rank higher.

  • They set their own rate. We show a suggested band; we do not set it.
  • They start and stop their own tracker, and the log belongs to them.
  • They issue their own invoice, and the split is published.

FAQ

Questions we actually get.

Where are the assistants based?

Accra and Kumasi in Ghana, and Nairobi in Kenya. Every profile names the city.

Why publish what the assistant is paid?

Because a spread you cannot see is a spread you cannot check. It also recruits better than any advertisement.

What happens if it is not working?

Tell us and we replace the assistant. The playbook they built stays with the engagement, so the next person does not start from nothing.

Can they work my hours?

That is the whole point. Accra gives 4–5 hours of US Eastern overlap on an afternoon shift, and Nairobi gives 6–8 with London.
