Leveraging TikTok for HR & Consulting in Africa

-


In today’s digital economy, TikTok has moved beyond entertainment to become a powerful platform for professional services firms — including HR and management consultancies. With over 1.6 billion monthly active users, the platform offers African consultants an unprecedented opportunity to amplify their voice, build trust, and engage both talent and employers in new ways. 

For HR-focused consultancies in Ghana and across Africa, TikTok is not just about visibility — it is about shaping conversations on work, leadership, and people management in a rapidly changing world of work. Below are five strategic ways HR consultancies can harness TikTok effectively. 

1. Establish Thought Leadership in African HR: HR consulting firms can use TikTok to demystify workplace issues and showcase their expertise in a relatable way. Short, insightful videos on topics such as employee engagement, performance management, leadership development, workplace culture, and labour relations can position firms as trusted authorities in people management. 

2. Strengthen Employer Brand and Public Trust TikTok rewards authenticity — a critical asset for HR consultants. By sharing real workplace stories, team interactions, and behind-the-scenes moments, firms can humanize their brand and build emotional connection with both corporate clients and job seekers. 

3. Partner with African Creators and Professionals :Through Duets, Stitches, and co-created content, HR consultancies can partner with African career coaches, workplace influencers, business leaders, and young professionals to expand their reach. 

4. Generate Leads for Corporate Engagements: TikTok’s algorithm favors engaging, practical, and emotionally resonant content — making it a viable lead-generation channel even for B2B services. HR consultancies can attract corporate inquiries by addressing real business pain points such as high turnover and low engagement. 

5. Retain Clients and Build Internal Culture: Featuring consultants and young HR professionals on TikTok fosters pride, belonging, and visibility — turning employees into authentic brand ambassadors.

 Conclusion 

As Africa’s workplace continues to modernize, TikTok offers HR consultancies a powerful avenue to educate, influence, and connect

  Disclaimer This article is without prejudice to previous engagements between KGL AND GJA. It does not take sides on the current media banter between KGL and the Fourth Estates. This is a purely an academic piece that outlines my observations at the 29 th GJA/KGL awards, as a Communications Consultants and Researcher. I have used the SITE model to do this assessment and stressed how events could be the biggest tool in a public relations tool kit. Situation Ahead of the ceremony, the Fourth Estate, a budding investigative outlet under the Media Foundation for West Africa, had withdrawn from the awards. According to the statement from the outlet, KGL, the headline sponsor of this year’s GJA/KGL awards, has been on their radar regarding the latter’s contract with NLA. They had cited copious media queries with KGL over this NLA-KGL deal. According to the Fourth Estates, despite generating revenue of over GHC3 billion from operating the NLA’s lottery, KGL was required to pay onl...

Having been in the advocacy space for some time, I have come to understand and always held the view that Ghana’s intellectual base was fast eroding. Over the weekend, this long held view was confirmed as results for the 2025 WASSCE came through. From every indication, the results have been abysmal in all fronts. Per the provisional results, •131,097 students (30.27%) failed English Language. •220, 008 students (50.54%) failed Core Mathematics. •161,606 students (39.87%) failed Integrated Science. •196,727 students (44%) failed Social Studies. While intellectualism goes beyond academic performance, this results, for me, reflects a weakening intellectual base of the country. This article explores the broader issue of the weakening intellectualism in the Ghanaian society. Intellectualism is not socially rewarding I have never seen a country where people are so scornful of critical thinkers and studious individuals than Ghana. People deride intellectualism, calling critical minds aca...

  Introduction Today, the mortal remains of the man Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, will be laid to rest at Nsuta in the Ashanti region, where his life begun. It is an open secret that this process has neither been silk not smooth as his singing and talking voices. Indeed, this has been a long road to burial, one that, in my estimation, would further cement the legendary status of the man who commanded rare respect among his contemporaries, generations and the country, at large. The Man who commanded rare industry respect While alive, Lumba used scarcity to build an aura of grace around his presence. Truly, his presence was costly. Promoters and music connoisseurs have all attested to their difficulty in securing his services, for events. Consistently, the most recurrent themes in these narratives have been how the legend followed standards, time and procedures to the core. According to the few industry people around him, Daddy Lumba will not bend the r...
