Tech startup simplifies job search for all professions in fast growing economies
Everjobs (everjobs.com), the new job portal for fast growing economies, starts its expansion across Asia and Africa. The company’s mission is to simplify the job search and hiring process by connecting job seekers with employers in a matter of clicks. The Everjobs site offers helpful tools and intuitive features, such as a CV creation tool, easy site navigation, search filters, and career tips.
Everjobs had already successfully launched its first operations in Myanmar with work.com.mm. This job portal rapidly became the number one in the country and triggered further expansion of the business model into other fast growing economies. In Sri Lanka, Everjobs is launching its website everjobs.lk with more than 1,000 job listings. The company aims to become the leading job portal here and in other countries to follow.
Co-Founder Ronald Schuurs said, “We see an immense opportunity to create a convenient job portal for economies on the rise in Asia and Africa. Everjobs challenges the status quo in these countries for job seekers as well as employers. We believe that every individual has a unique set of skills and personality. All it takes is the right match for them to flourish.”
Simplicity and ease of use play a major role in Everjobs’ service. Features like direct messages and standardized CV formats are convenient and user-friendly. Everjobs provides the right match for job seekers and employers: postings on the website range from small local companies to big international corporations and from student jobs to top level positions. To meet the needs of their Asian and African users, Everjobs created a lean and well structured website.
Backed by Rocket Internet, Everjobs can expect to benefit from the network of companies in the Asia Pacific Internet Group (APACIG) and the Africa Internet Group (AIG). The groups manage a portfolio of 17 companies across 45 countries.
In fast growing economies, Internet and mobile usage is growing rapidly. Smartphone penetration in the Asia Pacific region (excluding China and India) is expected to rise from 21% in 2013 to 44% in 2018. In Africa, mobile Internet usage is expected to grow by a factor of 20 in the next five years.
Schuurs states, “Everjobs will set the standard for job portals in fast growing economies. With a a simple design and a great user experience, we want to simplify the process of finding and offering jobs. Our mission is to enable millions of people to find the right job opportunities in each phase of their professional life.”
