JoboAfrika.com, the pan-African recruitment website, has opened a new office in Kampala, Uganda. The new bureau will grow the East African markets, find sellers of JoboAfrika services and expand business opportunities.

James Reed, Chairman of JoboAfrika.com, explains, “We are pleased to be opening our first sales office in East Africa three months ahead of schedule. The sustainable business growth of Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda combined with educated and experienced candidates in the region offers the ideal setting for JoboAfrika to thrive.”

In its first four months of operation, hundreds of jobs throughout the continent have been posted on JoboAfrika. Thousands of applications have been received by employers advertising positions on the site. Examples of qualified candidates from different countries applying for positions in other regions have proven that the African job market is fast becoming integrated, confirming JoboAfrika‟s business model.

“JoboAfrika.com will be a „social enterprise‟ whereby the sellers of advertising across the continent will retain half the income they bring in and the other half will be returned to support and sustain the site”, adds James Reed.

Francois Pariseau, from JoboAfrika Uganda says, “We are thrilled to develop a region with such potential. East African employers can now benefit from a cost effective way to seek qualified candidates and easily widen their reach to other countries.”

With more than 4 million internet users in East Africa, the service will allow registered employers to reach a broad base of job seekers. Qualified candidates are also able to browse through hundreds of employment opportunities. JoboAfrika now offers a special promotion of 200 free premium job ads per employer to be used by the end of 2009.

The service will soon be available in Swahili and French reaching residents of East Africa and French-speaking West and North Africa.
