Nigeria’s jobs website in Forbes top 10 Africa tech list

By Tope Templer Olaiya
NIGERIA’S number one jobs website, Jobberman.com has been ranked 8th among Africa’s top 20 tech start ups in the latest February 2012 edition of Forbes Africa, making the jobs board the only Nigerian company on the list, amongst other African Internet businesses.
Forbes, an influential global business magazine, assessed the organisations using the following criteria; relevance in helping to overcome Africa’s problems, especially in communications and skills shortage, online presence on social media, pan African presence and organisations less than a decade old.
This assessment places Jobberman as Africa’s number one stop-shop for recruitment and advisory services. Currently, Jobberman ranks as the 5th most visited Nigerian website according to alexa.com and receives 5,000 job applications per day – all achieved in less than two years since it was started by three undergraduates from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).
