About the Company
Go2 is a fully remote company that was founded in 2016 for the purpose of connecting a global workforce together. They are a remote outsourcing company that introduces employees and employers as the middlemen throughout the process.
The company is very vocal about its start-up mentality and connecting highly skilled individuals with jobs that complement their qualifications and experience, and doing so on a permanent work-from-home basis.

Locations they hire from
While it is not 100% clear, Go2 claims to hire from a majority of countries – there is no list specifying which ones.
However, the company is very clear about where they DO NOT hire from:
Countries that are on the US terrorist watchlist. It sounds scary, but it’s simply too costly to employ people from these regions as there is a lot of complicated data usage and browser history information that will need to be compiled by Go2, so they avoid it altogether.
US, Canada and the UK. These countries have high administrative costs that are expensive and too time-consuming for Go2 to maintain.

- Nedbank:Service Consultant
Qualifications & Experience Required
Go2 states that one year of experience in all the roles is vital. You are required to have a strong foundation in English in order to communicate in writing and verbally. Some roles are more specialised in terms of technology and software, so applicants need to mention having experience in these.
Other than these, I would say that the requirements are quite basic and accommodating to entry-level employees. Be sure to read through the job description in detail to provide requirements that will guarantee you the best chance of employment.
Tools & Materials that are Required
Go2 is very particular about the tools and materials that you absolutely must have before applying for any of the roles. In a Q&A, it was even said that if candidates don’t have the necessary hardware and work-from-home setup, then they will be rejected immediately.
These are your hardware must-haves, taken directly from the Go2 application page:
- CPU: At least i3 or AMD Ryzen 3. For Mac devices, at least a 2012 model or newer.
- Operating System (PC): Windows 10 or newer, (macOS): Catalina (10.15) or newer

- Internet: Stable ping 80 ms or less, 10 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload speeds

Note that Go2 is very specific about these requirements, so your best chance of an interview is to have these in order.
