Jobs/Vacancies › Nigerian Startup Employs Twitter For Job Applications by Leopantro(op): 4:40pm On Aug 24, 2015
Twitter may be struggling to elect someone for its CEO vacancy, but the microblogging site itself has been successfully employed by many to find and recruit new talent worldwide. Mark Essien, CEO of Hotels.ng, has used Twitter to post job applications and interview candidates for positions at his Nigerian hotel booking startup. Through the social network, he's made some top hires, including a head of content marketing and head of finance, CNN reports.

Building up over 330 million active monthly users over the last nine years, Twitter has become a prevalent network among celebrities, politicians and brands. While journalists utilize Twitter as a tool to share and discover news, companies often have their accounts for customer support, and political contenders have conducted question-and-answer sessions with constituents -- which don't often always go well. For Hotels.ng and other young startups, the network has become an easy and efficient communications tool for connecting to investors and job applicants.

"Social media has been one of the biggest helpers in taking Hotels.ng from an idea to one of the biggest technology companies in Nigeria," Essien told CNN. "[Twitter] also serves as the communication platform for the entire technology community in Nigeria. It's how we meet and share knowledge in the small ecosystem."

While LinkedIn may be seen as the professional social network as a site that hosts virtual resumes and official company job listings, Essien has elected to use Facebook and Twitter as the unconventional recruiting tools for his two-year-old startup. "Even for startups for which it is not a great customer acquisition tool, it's excellent for reaching investors and for recruiting, and those are two of the most essentials task for any CEO," Essien said.

It's not all done over 140-character-long public tweets. Essien told CNN that he uses Twitter as a "filter system -- to ensure that only the people who could at least answer those first questions would receive my follow-up questions via email." These questions -- for a researcher position -- included "Give a real-life situation where median is more correct to use than mean?" and "Is it true: some people only can make blueprints, some only can execute blueprints? Why."

Essien's company, which is said to be the largest hotel booking site in Nigeria, is not the first-time Twitter has gained notoriety as a job recruitment tool. A famous example in the technology industry is Uber's first hire. Uber CEO Travis Kalani had tweeted, "Looking 4 entrepreneurial product mgr/biz-dev killer 4 a location based service.. pre-launch, BIG equity, big peeps involved--ANY TIPS??" in January 2010. Among others, the message received a reply from Ryan Graves, who works as the head of global operations at the ride-hailing company most recently valued at $50 billion.

And you Think its impossible?
Every time you take a photo, information about the photo and the device that took the photo is embedded into the photo. The picture of the keke is a treasure trove of information when you pass it through a photo analysis software . It says it was taken on the 22nd of February by a Canon EOS 600D with an index number 038078029421. The other photos provide doubtful information.
That you can pass a picture taken with another camera a product of the phone disproves the incredible statement that is comparable to IPhone.

Boring list, check mine

1. Tinder : are you new to a town and want to hook up with new friends? This app links to guys and girls within 150km from your location utilizing your GPS location.

2. FRIDGE CHECK & RECIPE FINDER: tired of eating the same food again and again? Open your fridge, note the foodstuffs in there, type them into the apps and you receive various different recipes to try.

3. CAAST: come across a link on your phone you want to open on a laptop or another phone? Simple share via coast.

4. TVMC: watch any movie, TV series, football match, anime or cartoon ever created.

5.Light – Answering Engine: when even Google can't answer your questions

6. ADAWAY: There be no ads while browsing.

7. WEAK CONTROL: mirror your phone's screen to any laptop browser via Wi-Fi

8. BREAKFREE AND FOREST : addicted to your phone? There's an app for that.

9. AIRDROID: need I say more?

10. INGRESS: only Homo Superior can understand this app. However, when you evolve to that level, you can't stop using it.

Don't know who the guy is but from the pictures I noticed something odd.

1. The guy must have been on all least four different beds in that hospital. Look at the walls in each of the pictures, particularly the corners and you would notice the difference in bed location for each picture.

2. In one picture he was receiving whatever in a line set at the wrist. In another picture, the line is at the elbow. Why the jump?.

3. The line at the elbow is too obvious behind the plaster proving It's not in the body.

Another " my papa say I be Ibo" on the loose.

Apart from Lagos(former capital) which Yoruba city is better than Enugu, Onitsha,Owerri,Umuahia, Awka? Which west are you speaking of? Oshogbo, Abeokuta, Ibadan etc? You need help.

Do you know that Aba is not the capital of Abia state, tell me any second town in any Yoruba state that can tie the shoe lace of Aba in any aspect of development, is it Ogbomosho? Ondo town or what?

How did we blow our opportunity in the the war? I am very sure that you know nothing about the circumstances and events that led the civil war, yet you are here blabbing.

What state are we in now? We are more advanced than any Nigerian group, I guess your negativity and self loathe never allowed you to see that. https://www.nairaland.com/2263635/south-east-south-west-south-south-lead-attainment
https://www.nairaland.com/237534/look-going-school-nigeria-statistics

There is a reason why politics is called "Ndorondoro Ochichi" in Igbo language,it's because there is always bound to be local rivalry, it's the same thing world over.
Even so, our local rivalry has limits, we had never violently assaulted each other, like your Beloved Yoruba were doing under Akintola and Awo.


Inconclusion, Ndigbo and Igboland can do with less ignorant and self loathing people like you, that it is, if you are really an Igbo.
I like this. It is good interacting with intellectual individuals. However do not insult. Would rather interact with you than with people that don't have anything to offer like Omambala1 and UmuEri. Kindly hold on, will be back to interact

No. I'm an enemy of illusions born of ideology of things that happened in the past. We Igbos have the potential of greatness but we blew it in the war. Look at the state we are in now : no laid down plans or framework projecting 10 to 20 years from now, no political representative laying the groundwork for our children's children to build on, no unionization of the whole of Igboland. Everyone is "to your tent" : just look at the last election. Orlu resisting Okigwe, Owerri fighting Mbaise, etc. It's now ME ME ME. forget Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers and Cross Rivers, what benefit would they gain joining us. And we are not helping ourselves..

Let me ask you ; the youths in your village, the leaders of tomorrow, where are they? In Lagos, Abuja, etc not building the homeland. Remove Aba and Enugu, which other city do we have that can emulate the west, that we have collectively joined together to build? Instead, I hear "when we get Biafra, it will be heaven on earth?

If a small boy who have seen not a helicopter ever or travel abroad can build something that can fly for 2 two hours in spite of the weight of craft... and you are a graduate who cannot boost of an invention to your name, then your cluelessness is top-notch.
I commend the boy for doing it but it's not an invention. While I was growing up I built gliders made of wood, I came across the plan in a library. Currently trying to DIY a drone that can fly for 15 to 20 minutes. They are not inventions and the plans are on the Internet. My beef is someone saying it will be used to drop bombs.

@Friedplantain,sexystrawberry@otumorpor: I think I want to "eat that beans" really. If you look critically @ the other pictures,it shows a graphic site of an astra world and it's in black & white which shows more clarity. Secondly, someone commented and said he's not surprised that we have aliens living outside our planets which is quite right. God has myriads and myriads of angels who could materialize into whatever form,so I won't say it's hoax... I'm a realist and have gone to the website like twice to check the other pictures and I kinda wanna agree with the image pictured in MARS.
Come on. Don't make me believe that intelligent life-forms are in space and not in this earth.

Look at the blades ; look fragile and short. Two hours in the air, that means it will fly to Imo river and stop unless you will be chasing it with hose and fuel. BTW, anyone can build it, just check YouTube and the Internet. You might as well buy a drone for $100. The only thing enemies of Biafra will die of is laughter when they see it.
There is a guy in umuahia that builds better.

Why wait for government? Rochas is owning months in salary. Build it better and go international.

OPEN LETTER TO MR PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI GCFR ON FINANCIAL RECKLESSNESS, HIGHHANDEDNESS AND CONNIVANCE OF THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR, DR ANGELA UWAKWEM WITH THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF HEALTH TO NULLIFY THE ALLEGATIONS TENDERED BY FMC OWERRI HEALTH WORKERS:
Your Excellency Sir,
The Entire Staff of the Federal Medical Centre Owerri wishes you merry Ramadan Kareen and congratulatesyou once more on your well deserved victory at the just concluded election. We say congratulations to you Sir.
It is unfortunate that when the workers of FMC Owerri ought to be merry with other Nigerians over the freedom you brought to the entire nation by winning in a landslide victory at the polls, the Medical Director of FMC Owerri Dr Angela Uwakwem with her Agents have denied us such in a lot of hemorrhaging issues that range from financial misconducts, highhandedness, impunity to mention but a few. We plead you patiently bare your mind on the origin of the ongoing crisis in FMC Owerri.
The medical director of FMC Owerri Imo State had a meeting with the leaders of Unions and Associations on 21st April 2015 where she reaffirmed news flying in the hospital for her proposed public private partnership on pharmacy, medical laboratory services, radiology and radiography whereas pharmacy and laboratory services generate over 62% annually of the hospital’s IGR. The leaders took the monologue to their members for deliberation and suggestions. Before the staff could knew it, she smuggled the proposal to the board of management for approval on 29th April 2015 without consulting the relevant stakeholders.
On reception of that, the workers protested to the board to step down the proposal but the Medical Director, Dr Angela Uwakwem refused and uttered over her dead body. Before we could wait for board’s invitation, the Medical Director quickly went to radio station (HOT FM 99.5) people’s Assembly on 7th May 2015 to label FMC Owerri staff as inefficient, non transparent, non accountable and said that the revenue of the hospital has been dwindling and need for PPP. The unions sent her members of executive on 8th May 2015 via the same radio station and debunked the entire allegations raised by the Medical Director. The Medical Director issued queries to the union, citing oath of secrecy which in no way contravenes the act of freedom of information bill of 2011. The board directed her to withdraw the queries.
