Jobberman Ghana partners Facebook, Airtel to bring free jobs browsing to Ghanaians

Ghana’s number one jobs website, Jobberman Ghana, has partnered Facebook and Airtel to bring all the latest jobs to the general public through an internet app that will enable free access to some websites.

The app, internet.org, will enable people access information on Jobs, education, health, and finance without paying data charges on the Airtel network.

Sites such as Facebook, Jobberman Ghana, BBC News, Messenger, Wikipedia, Baba Centre & MAMA, and Supersports, are among the sites that can be accessed for free.

Jobberman.com.gh, which is the jobs website accessible on the app, said in a press statement that the cost of accessing the internet was a barrier to many jobseekers since they could not afford data bundles.

“It is in the light of this that we are partnering Facebook to bring relief to Jobseekers who are unable to buy data bundles to access the internet services for free to help improve their lives,” said Babajide Otoki- CEO.

Jobberman.com.gh matches employers with jobseekers through the internet and provides effective tools for recruiting talents for employers.

The jobs giant currently has about 7,000 employers and 300,000 job seekers who access the Jobberman website.

Users can access the Internet.org through Google Play Store or by visiting www.internet.org on a mobile browser. The service works on smartphones and feature phones.
