Jobsikaz, Kenyan recruiting startup, rebrands as Emploi

Jobsikaz, Kenya-based startup that links employers and candidates using machine learning and predictive analysis, has recently rebranded as Emploi.

Launched three years ago and active in four African countries with more than 40,000 registered users, Jobsikaz began life as a simple jobs board but has now upgraded its recruitment engine to incorporate technology that aims to make it the fastest and most accurate job-matching platform in the region. 

Through the use of data and machine learning, it is able to predict candidate-to-role suitability with 78 per cent accuracy based on experience and skills, aptitude, personality, interests and motivations. The role matching engine, together with end-to-end recruitment process management tools provided for employers on the platform, also cuts down on the time and cost associated with recruitment.

“With the introduction of really strong recruiter tools we realised we needed a name that speaks to them too. Jobsikaz as pronounced was too jobseeker-centered,” said the startup’s CEO Sophy Mwale.
