Careers in Africa

Review:

Careers in Africa is a recruitment platform and job board that prominent companies in Africa use to recruit employees. It is based in the U.K., and employers there should consider using it to recruit from Africa and Europe. There are few local vacancies advertised on the site, suggesting that it might be best for recruiting remote workers.

The platform focuses on building and promoting compelling employer branding to attract candidates, and features include an employee value proposition design tool. Detailed company profiles, a large network, social media sharing, recruitment support, and integrations are also on offer. However, there is no resume database.
