About 20 million people in Africa enter the labor market every year, this translates to 1.6 million every month, 80,000 every day, and 10,000 every hour. Astonishing right! Only about 3 million jobs are created annually in Africa.

This shows the number of jobs that needs to be provided in order to improve the standard of living of the populace but due to current economic and political issues, this problem is left unattended causing the unemployment rates of most African countries to skyrocket at an alarming rate with many youths working informally or underemployed and living in poverty.

The current problems faced by the continent lead to a large percentage of its population seeking greener pastures in other countries not only to better their lives but that of their children in countries like the UK, US, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, etc.

The procedures and steps necessary to facilitate this move can daunting but pale in comparison to the experience of being unemployed in Africa. Studies have shown a remarkable improvement in the lives of immigrants who took the bold step in seeking employment outside Africa, reducing poverty, precarity, and increasing prosperity which is what Areebajobs was created to tackle.

What is Areebajobs?

Areebajobs is a Digital, intelligent, job matching platform increasing the visibility, employability, and autonomy of talents. It seeks to provide African talents with access to secure work and sustainable opportunities while creating a more inclusive international labor market.

Areebajobs comes outfitted with an AI tool that helps candidates access job offers from all around the world according to their profile and experience broadening the scope of their opportunities where skills and competence from Africa are well represented. 

 This was the case for Chinedu Onuegbu in his own words.

I created a profile on areebajobs.com job platform after I came across the MdATCH project on LinkedIn. Because I was intentional in the kind of jobs I wanted, I applied majorly for jobs that not only were suggested as good fit based on my career interest and experience by the Areebajobs.com AI system but were also part of the MATCH project.

Series of job applications and many interviews later, Chore-Time Europe BV a company based in the Netherlands found me as a perfect fit for the role of a Regional Sales Manager for West Africa.

It has been a smooth ride from day one of creating a profile on Areebajobs platform, the recruitment process, and through the onboarding period.”.

 So why does Areebajobs stand out?

  • Saves Time: Most of the hassle of finding a job on other job search apps is in finding the right one.  Job seekers usually must scroll through thousands of job opportunities before finding the right fit. Areebajobs saves you that time as once you create your profile and upload your resume, Artificial intelligence on Areebajobs scans and processes your resume and matches you with job opportunities best suited to your profile. 

This is less frustrating and time-consuming. 

 Companies and recruiters are not left out they do not have to spend as much time going through many applications from candidates instead once they post a job vacancy, they get only those applicants who have all their criteria and are well suited for the job making recruitment more efficient and productive.
