Jobs at ALX Africa

What ALX Africa's application asks

Across the one application form Otto has filled at ALX Africa: 16 distinct questions, 15 of them usually required. A single application works out at about 27 minutes once you have your details to hand. It runs on Greenhouse.

6 are ALX Africa’s own, not boxes every form has:

• if you selected other, alx staff or media, please specify
• what interests and excites you about joining alx?
• what is your gross annual salary expectation (in usd)?
• when would you be available to join us?
• why are you a perfect fit for this role?
• how did you hear about the role?

Read off the forms themselves, last checked 2026-09-22, because Otto fills them in and has to read them first. Roles differ, so the estimate is per application rather than for the list above: each question counts for its cost times how often this employer actually requires it. A written answer is 2½ minutes, a dropdown 12 seconds, a yes/no 5 seconds, attaching a file 45 seconds. The list leaves out name-and-email boxes and anything Greenhouse puts on every employer’s form.
