Careers in Africa

Review:

Careers in Africa is a recruitment platform and job board that prominent companies in Africa use to recruit new employees. Employers in the U.S. can use the platform to reach African professionals in the diaspora. Currently, there aren't any local vacancies advertised, so the site only provides employers with the option to recruit remote workers.

The platform focuses on employer branding to attract candidates. Features include an employee value proposition design tool, detailed company profiles, large network, social media sharing, recruitment support, and integrations. It does, however, lack a searchable resume database.

Pros:

• Careers in Africa offers a design tool for creating an employee value proposition.
• The talent network consists of two million professionals from Africa.
• There are 600,000 high-level graduates and early-career candidates in the network.
• The platform uses email, social media, and targeted job boards to promote vacancies.
• Employers can create and maintain detailed company profiles.
• Account managers are available to offer recruitment support.
• Careers in Africa has a basic applicant tracking system.
• Pre-screening questions can be added to job posts.

Cons:

• Careers in Africa does not offer employers access to a resume database.
• The company does not have offices in the U.S., so customer service is likely limited to U.K. working hours.
