GeezJobs Scales Up: Ethiopian Job Platform Expands into East Africa with AI-Powered Ambitions













By Addis Insight Tech – Special Report

GeezJobs, one of Ethiopia’s fastest-growing job platforms, is preparing to expand its footprint across East Africa. With a track record of serving employers and job seekers within Ethiopia and beyond, the company is now laying the groundwork for physical offices in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. The expansion marks a significant step in the company’s ambition to build a regional recruitment ecosystem—one that blends local relevance with scalable technology.

Since its launch, GeezJobs has focused on streamlining the job search and hiring process in Ethiopia. Now, as user demand grows in neighboring countries and Gulf markets, the company is transitioning from a national player into a broader East African talent platform.

From Local Roots to Regional Reach

GeezJobs’ growth has been shaped by the needs of both sides of the labor market. Job seekers often struggle with visibility and presentation, while employers report inefficiencies in sourcing and screening suitable candidates. GeezJobs positioned itself to address these gaps, first in Ethiopia and later, organically, in other countries.

“Over the past few years, we’ve noticed steady traction from employers and users outside Ethiopia—especially in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda, but also from countries like Somaliland, South Sudan, and even the UAE,” a company representative shared. “This expansion is a response to a need that already exists.”

By establishing local offices in Nairobi, Kampala, and Kigali, GeezJobs aims to offer tailored support, localized content, and faster service delivery to clients across these markets.

What Sets GeezJobs Apart?

Unlike traditional job boards, GeezJobs offers a full-stack recruitment service, integrating digital tools, human support, and platform-based automation. This approach has helped the company appeal to small businesses, NGOs, recruitment firms, and multinational organizations alike.

1. CV Writing Service with Tangible Results

One of GeezJobs’ flagship offerings is its CV writing service, which the company claims has led to an 85% shortlist rate for users who utilize it. The service was introduced after internal data revealed that over 70% of applications were rejected due to poor formatting, unclear structure, or lack of clarity, rather than insufficient experience or education.

For many job seekers—especially first-time professionals—this offering bridges the gap between qualifications and opportunity.

2. Instant CV Search for Employers and Recruiters

Employers gain access to a live and continuously updated pool of over 200+ active job seekers. This feature is not limited to direct employers—third-party recruiters and HR firms also use it to search for and source talent quickly.

This tool accelerates hiring processes by eliminating the waiting period between job posting and application review, allowing recruiters to search by job title, skill, or location.

3. End-to-End Recruitment Services

For companies looking to outsource recruitment, GeezJobs offers customized recruitment support through a dedicated team. This includes everything from job posting and shortlisting to scheduling interviews and final selection.

4. Telegram Job Alert Bot

In a region where SMS can be costly and email is not always widely used, GeezJobs developed @GeezAlert_bot, a Telegram-based job alert system. It delivers curated job listings that match users’ preferences in real time, helping users respond quickly to relevant opportunities.

A New Chapter: AI Recruitment Engine on the Horizon

In addition to geographic expansion, GeezJobs is preparing to launch a next-generation AI-powered recruitment platform—a major move that could redefine how hiring happens across the continent.

The new system is being developed by a hybrid team of local engineers and international AI experts, with the goal of integrating machine learning into various stages of the recruitment process, including:

Smart job-to-candidate matching based on CV data and job descriptions

Candidate scoring and ranking using multiple variables beyond traditional qualifications

Automated pre-screening tools to assess candidate fit

Predictive hiring trends and reporting dashboards for employers

Unlike most global recruitment tech, this engine is being built to reflect local employment contexts, including non-linear career paths, informal job experience, and multilingual resume formats. The company emphasizes that this AI will not replace human hiring, but rather complement recruiters by automating repetitive tasks and improving decision accuracy.

“We’re not just building for efficiency,” said one of the lead engineers on the project. “We’re building for relevance—to make sure companies don’t miss out on great candidates just because their experience looks different from Western norms.”

Market Context and Opportunity

Africa is home to one of the world’s youngest and fastest-growing labor forces. With millions of graduates entering the job market each year—and many companies reporting skills gaps and hiring challenges—the need for localized, tech-enabled employment solutions has never been greater.

GeezJobs enters this space with several advantages:

A platform already validated in one of Africa’s largest job markets (Ethiopia)

Existing traction from regional and international clients

A multi-service model that combines digital self-service with hands-on recruitment support

Early investments in AI and mobile-first tools, such as the Telegram job bot

While the company will face competition from global platforms like LinkedIn, Jobberman, and BrighterMonday, its local-first approach and commitment to contextual relevance could offer a competitive edge.



With its expansion into Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda, and an AI recruitment engine in development, GeezJobs is positioning itself as more than a job site—it’s aiming to become a tech-driven hiring partner for Africa’s emerging workforce.

Whether the platform can scale sustainably while maintaining personalized services will be key to watch in the coming year. But for now, GeezJobs’ momentum signals that homegrown HR-tech solutions are gaining ground in Africa’s evolving digital economy.
