Jobs in Africa

We are happy to mention that we have made more than 50 successfull projects in
sub-Saharan Africa.

Over 50,000 professionals and graduates will meet online 200 employers from 8 sub-Saharan African countries at WorkinAfrica Online Career Fair – www.workinafrica.com. The online event will take place in March 2015 on WorkinAfrica.com platform and will provide over 2,000 job openings.

“Company and candidate needs were our trigger for making this event happen. Our surveys across sub-Saharan Africa show that companies have challenges in recruiting professionals with over 3 years of experience. Also, candidates have a hard time in finding jobs. The purpose of WorkInAfrica.com and the Online Career Fair is to bring together all relevant jobs opportunities from top employers and make them available to over 35.000.000 professionals.”, George Stefanuca, Project Manager, WorkInAfrica.com.

WorkInAfrica.com is the first professional online job board, a one-stop solution for all recruitment needs in sub-Saharan Africa.

The organizers have a track record of over 10 online recruitment events held in the past 3 years gathering 800 employers and 380,000 professionals with a total reach of over 35,000,000 candidates through promotion campaigns.

The best represented industry by companies participating at these previous events was the IT&C sector (46%). They were followed by BPO (14%), Engineering (10%), Recruitment (10%), Finance (10%), Auto (3%), FMCG (3%) and Other industries (4%).

In order to reach the desired candidates, WorkinAfrica Virtual Career Fair will benefit from an extended media campaign including a variety of promotion channels such as internal newsletters sent to over 30,000 professionals, inserts in job alerts etc. to social media ads (on Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, Youtube). The media campaign goal is to attract professionals with 3 to 5 years of experience, as this is a major challenge for employers in sub-Saharan Africa. The final result is that, in just one month, employers can build a pipeline for a whole year for their positions requiring experienced candidates.
