Adebayo Ajibade: Building Africa’s AI-Powered Remote Work Operating System for Global Employment

Adebayo Ajibade, an ex-Meta Staff Software Engineer and seasoned tech innovator who has built numerous global products for major tech companies, is setting a new standard in the global employment sector through Loubby AI, Africa’s fast-growing, AI-powered remote workforce operating system.

As the founder of DivVerse LLC, a U.S.-based technology outsourcing and staff augmentation company that connects North American and European startups and mid-sized businesses with some of Africa’s most talented tech professionals, Adebayo’s objective is ambitious yet clear: to make it easier and more efficient for global employers to access Africa’s skilled workforce while addressing the unique complexities of managing remote teams across continents.

Adebayo’s journey to building Loubby AI began with firsthand insights into the challenges employers face when working with remote teams in Africa. These challenges primarily include operational complexities,  difficulties, and compliance issues in the cross-continental hiring process and team management. Recognizing these barriers, Adebayo saw an opportunity to create a solution that would simplify hiring and remote workforce management, allowing employers to tap into Africa’s talent pool without the usual setbacks.

The solution he envisioned became Loubby AI, an all-in-one operating system designed to streamline every stage of the hiring and management process for remote African talent. Loubby AI empowers employers globally with tools to find, hire, onboard, manage, and pay talent from across the continent, offering a comprehensive suite tailored to each phase of the employee lifecycle. From recruitment to payroll, the platform integrates features that make it easier for employers to work effectively and efficiently with African professionals.
Loubby AI’s core innovation lies in its AI-driven recruitment capabilities, which match employers with candidates based on the specific skills and experiences they need. The platform’s AI interviewer, AI assessments, and applicant tracking system further enhance recruitment, allowing hiring managers to efficiently sort, screen, and select top candidates. These AI-powered tools enable employers to identify suitable talent quickly, reducing the time and costs associated with traditional hiring processes.

In addition to recruitment, Loubby AI includes features designed to support employers and employees throughout the employment journey. The platform offers a talent marketplace where companies can post job opportunities, and African professionals can showcase their skills and portfolios, creating a centralized hub for discovering top tech talent.

Once a candidate is hired, employers can use Loubby AI’s onboarding feature to guide new hires through the onboarding process, ensuring a smooth transition into their roles. This process is crucial for building rapport and alignment between remote teams and their employers.
Loubby AI also includes practical tools for ongoing team management. Employers can utilize time tracking, performance management, and communication features to monitor work progress and provide feedback, bridging the gap created by physical distance.

Furthermore, the platform’s robust payroll capabilities facilitate seamless cross-border payments, eliminating one of the most challenging aspects of employing remote teams in Africa. By simplifying payments and ensuring compliance with international standards, Loubby AI enables companies to provide fair compensation to their remote African workforce.

Adebayo’s vision goes beyond merely improving hiring processes; he is committed to making African professionals more visible and accessible in the global market. He notes that while Africa is rich in skilled professionals, these talents have often been overlooked due to challenges related to cultural differences, operational difficulties, and payment constraints. Loubby AI breaks down these barriers by offering a user-friendly, intuitive platform that gives global employers confidence in hiring from Africa. This ease of access empowers businesses to harness African talent, knowing they have a reliable system in place for managing remote teams effectively.

By facilitating access to high-quality, meaningful employment opportunities with global companies, Loubby AI is driving economic growth across Africa. For African professionals, this means greater access to well-paying jobs that allow them to develop their skills and gain experience in international markets.

Adebayo believes that remote work, when managed effectively, can act as a catalyst for economic development in Africa and innovation worldwide. Loubby AI connects businesses with skilled African talent and transforms remote work into a powerful growth engine, enabling Africa to actively participate in the global employment ecosystem. Through Loubby AI, Adebayo has demonstrated that Africa’s workforce is ready to contribute on a global scale, with the potential to drive innovation, economic growth, and global collaboration.
