The sample data used was from our database which we believe represent the overall job search pattern in Nigeria.Note: Our analysis and checks has shown that most Nigeria internet users (including job seekers) prefer to click on links in a site rather than using the search box. Hence, our research focused only on actually job search (a user using the search box on our site).
