Recruitment Marketplace

Ethiojobs

Ethiojobs.net is Ethiopia’s flagship digital recruitment marketplace and a core brand within the Africa Jobs Network. Every day, tens of thousands of job seekers and employers use the platform to connect through job listings, employer branding, and career resources. The service grew from a deep understanding of local hiring needs—not only listing vacancies, but helping employers reach qualified candidates and helping candidates discover roles that fit their skills and ambitions. As AJN’s primary recruitment marketplace, Ethiojobs anchors demand generation for the group: it builds employer relationships, strengthens trust in the market, and produces insight that supports the wider portfolio. Job seekers benefit from structured opportunities and career content; employers gain visibility and access to active talent. The platform continues to evolve with tools that support hiring at scale and employer storytelling in a competitive talent market. Through AJN, Ethiojobs is part of a broader mission to transform how talent is acquired and engaged across Africa.

Dereja partners with universities, employers, and development actors to deliver structured pathways—not only job alerts, but preparation that improves hiring outcomes.
