Workonnect Africa: Building the Hiring Infrastructure for Africa

With over 400 job listing platforms in Africa, it’s imperative to acknowledge what Workonnect.Africa is building. With over 6000+ jobs on their platforms, several institutional partnerships across Africa, their tagline – The future of work. Powered by AI rings true.

Workonnect prides itself on building the foremost AI enabled hiring infrastructure for Africa. Whilst the problem that plagues the human capital industry in Africa seems to be bursting at the seams, Workonnect has established an AI matching protocol that keeps the complete collapse of the recruitment sector at bay.

Job boards & thousands of WhatsApp job communities are plagued with overwhelm for both job seekers & recruiters. Weak verification layers and fragmented job discovery systems are some of the major issues plaguing the recruitment ecosystem.

In our relentless pursuit to narrow the unemployment gap in Africa, we’ve built an AI-powered hiring intelligence system for emerging markets – Olawunmi Fashina – COO

Workonnect has just one goal to solving one painful problem:

“Help reduce bad hires and wasted interviews.”
Essentially, their ethos is to buy back time for businesses and even job seekers. Being the trust layer for Employers is no easy feat, it means utilising AI in curating:

Interview readiness score
Candidate verification badge
Skill validation status
Whilst job boards will continue to remain relevant, Workonnects focuses on building the infrastructure layer that hiring activity runs on – the team famously describes the brand as LinkedIn on steroids, powered by AI without the social clutter.

“When we say hiring infrastructure, we mean the system beneath hiring — identity, trust, pipelines, and matching. Job boards only distribute listings. ATSs only manage applications. Workonnect connects the entire flow from talent creation to placement outcomes, which is what Africa is missing.” – Nwannukwu Stephanie – CEO

Mrs. Salmwang encouraged the Corps Members to continuously improve their skills, manage their financial rewards wisely, and apply their newly acquired expertise for personal and national benefit. She also extended sincere appreciation to all sponsors for their cash, gifts, and technical support, which significantly enhanced the Inter-Platoon SAED Competition.

Hey guys, I need referrals for a pretty good Sales Associates, residents in Ketu, Ajegunle, Ikeja, Maryland, Lekki, Agege & Mushin, Computer Village, Lagos

📌 Must be Smart, driven and professional.
📌 Must be ready to start immediately.
📌 Must have at least an SSCE degree
📌 Salary is 40k - 60k + commissions

It’s easy to get spurred on by someone’s courage, especially in the job market.
It’s also very important to take their advice with a pinch, because you don’t know their history and both of you are not going the same way at all.

Man must chop to work, but please and please you need to clearly understand your career trajectory and the kind of jobs that will help your career accelerate positively.

Please carve out your career plan. So you will not be tossed up and down in the Labour market.

Question to ask yourself - What’s most important to you, at the level you’re currently on?
— Is it to build capacity (Aka experience)& hon your skills?
— To make money?

These two things can exist independently or collaboratively.

Let me just say, the jobseekers that prioritize making money have invested heavily in their skills & experiences, and that’s why they can focus solely on what’s the best-paying job for their skill set.

If you’re a junior-level staff member or an inexperienced graduate, you and that person are not on the same level!

Collaborative stubbornness is nothing o, as our realities defer. Some of us can never go hungry even when jobless, while some of us know wetin eyes they face even with the salary we earn.

No 2 person path is ever the same. So access your own reality, map out your career plan, and apply for roles that align even when the remuneration is not sufficient. The fact that you know what you want for your career path will give you the boldness to manage your expectations.

Remember in the job market, your experience and skills are your currency. It’s trade by barter, so to be able to ask for the salary you want, make sure to ramp up as much experience in your preferred field through different ways.

— Volunteer for roles (actually reach out to companies you’d love to work with and offer to intern, paid or unpaid)
— Unpaid internships – as long as the terms are convenient for you and it aligns with your goals, build on it
— Paid internships- this makes your learning process on the job worthwhile
— Job shadowing – reach out to senior level managers, offer to assist them with their work, ask if they can make it official with their company

See, if one job is not enough, take up more than 1. Within your mental & physical capacity.

Essentially, do what works best for you with a sure career plan in mind, and don’t let any pressure get to you at all, if not you’d be in the Labour market 2–5 years down the line with low-level skills, jumping from one dead-end job to another still chasing stipends instead of rising to the top of your professional path.
