Ibadan is Nigeria’s third largest city with a population of 3 million people and it is fast becoming the new battleground for bike hailing services.

While the mobility sector has been in the news in the past year, most of that has been about the activities of bike hailing startups. In mid-2019, funding rounds by these startups suggested that the sector had promise.

In May 2019, Gokada raised $5.3 million while MAX.ng raised $7 million in June 2019. In July, OPay, with its Chinese backers, raised $50 million, and went on to raise an additional $120 million four months later.

Away from the spotlight, the city of Ibadan is where MAX, ORide and Safeboda are turning their attention to. While ORide launched in Ibadan in July 2019, SafeBoda and MAX.ng have launched within one week of each other.

If you’re a job seeker and you’re currently in the middle of a job search, chances are, you’ve sent out your CV to recruiters A LOT without hearing back from them.

Look:

Like most job seekers in Nigeria, you’re also probably registered on job search sites like Jobberman or Careers 24 but your efforts to land your dream job have largely been futile.

Here’s the problem: these recruiters can’t find you online or don’t like what they see when they find you!

69% of employers are using online search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing to research candidates as well, compared to 59 percent last year.

Consider this:

Most internet users have Google searched their name at one time or the other, so is it so far-fetched to think that recruiters do this as well?

What do recruiters find when they Google search your name and will it boost your chances of getting the job?

Help Recruiters Find You: Create &Update Your LinkedIn Profile
As obvious as this may seem, a large percentage of job seekers in Nigeria are still not on LinkedIn!

Stat attack:

87% of recruiters rely on LinkedIn to vet prospective hires. If you’re serious about your job search and you’re not already on LinkedIn, you need to register immediately!

If your LinkedIn profile has been gathering dust, now is the time to update it!
