1. TRANSPARENCY

We’re an open book — to ourselves, to each other, to clients…

Personal

Be aware of your own strengths and weaknesses, of what you’re great at and what you need to improve. There’s no fluff, no sugarcoating, no bullshit… this helps you grow faster and leads you to creating better and better solutions.

Professional

Whether we did great or screwed something up, we always tell it like it is… both to clients and to each other. We also give clients a complete overview of their project — they invested in it, so it’s only right that they’re in the loop.

2. DETERMINATION

Drive towards innovation — thrive on problems nobody can solve…

Personal

Embrace the mindset of being a problem-solver and not just a problem-pointer. And always strive to find the right solution — one that will provide you with long-term benefits instead of a short-term success.

Professional

We’re curious by nature and we’re always trying to push the boundaries of what’s possible to achieve. Remember the story of the known and the unknown — we dig deeper and we’re driven by the opportunity to do something no one has done before.

3. QUALITY

Embrace the agile mindset — iterate, validate, implement, improve…

Personal

Embrace continuous improvement — ask for feedback, adjust your approach and focus on making consistent small steps towards your goals instead of relying on those once-in-a-lifetime giant leaps.

Professional

Our key objective is to provide value to our clients and their users by creating top quality digital solutions — on every project. We do it by quickly creating minimum viable products and then rapidly iterating upon them.

4. AMBITION

Progress is limitless — the more we grow, the more you grow, the more we grow…

Personal

Your path in Dots Africa is fully in your hands — we’ll provide you with the tools you need to grow, and you just need to take advantage of them. Be proactive, propose new ideas, strive for more… and we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Professional

We don’t have exit strategies or care about cashing out — Dots Africa is playing the infinite game. Our goal is to be better every single day and continuously grow, as well as to provide clients with top-of-the-line solutions and our people with new opportunities.

5. UNITY

We are one team — work or play, weekdays or weekends, remote or not…

Personal

We may be members of different units and teams, but internally and externally we are always one company — we are Dots Africa. And these units and teams are not the walls that divide us, but opportunities for everyone to find their passion.

Professional

We treat our clients as our partners, and we enjoy when they want to be included into the projects. It enables us to introduce them to our mindset and approach, and allows us to tackle all of the challenges as one cohesive unit — their success is our success.

Our winning aspiration

To develop world-class web technology designed to make the background screening process  seamless you must acknowledge the fact that you are going to lead, this helps even your competitors focus on what they have been missing. And even though they might not accept that you simply have the best product being used, it’s from their efforts in trying to discredit you that they all indirectly  agree, “damn you are f**n good at what you do”.
