Introduction
Hiring African linguists often feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. Agencies either don’t cover African languages properly, or the few linguists available are difficult to verify. As a result, organisations waste weeks chasing candidates, facing delays and unnecessary risks.
At Linguistic Pathways (LP), we’ve built the solution — making African linguist hiring simple, fast, and reliable.
The Hiring Problem
Unlike European or Asian languages, African languages are rarely centralised in mainstream directories.
- Few certified directories exist.
- Skilled linguists lack visibility.
- Agencies often lack in-depth knowledge of African languages.
This creates a time-consuming hiring process for organisations that urgently need reliable African translators, interpreters, or language specialists.
Risks of Wrong Hires
Hiring the wrong linguist isn’t just inconvenient — it’s costly:
- Delays in projects or service delivery.
- Errors in translation or interpretation that damage credibility.
- Compliance risks in sensitive sectors like healthcare, law, or government.
For organisations handling legal cases, patient care, international research, or tech projects, the stakes are simply too high.
