If you’re an expert in information and communication technologies in Kenya, Nigeria, or Ghana, and looking for a new job, where do you find employment opportunities?

I was wondering this as I read about Jobberman, which Techmasi says is a Nigerian job site with promise. Yet it only has 20 new jobs in the last 7 days, none of them in the ICT field.

So if you’re an telcom professional, where do you look for work? Do you really use the Internet? If so, which job boards work the best? Here is a few I’ve found, with my impressions of them. A motley lot for sure.

Kenya

• BrigherMonday: with 7 information technology jobs, its actually one of the better job boards
• BestJobsKenya: is another good employment site with quality opportunities and direct emails to employers
• White African Job Board: started as a response to the lack of tech-focused job boards, its the one job board I’ve used to hire a techie

Nigeria

• Nariland: while not a employment site, specificlly, its the largest forum in Nigeria and its job section rocks
• Jobberman: as I mentioned before, it has some jobs but few in the ICT field. I include it in hopes it will grow
• NaijaHotJobs: is a forum filled with job opportunities mixed with IT support requests, get rich quick schemes, and other chaff
• CareersNigeria: looks all swank, but the job selection is pretty thin – only 3 in the ICT field

Ghana

• BusinessGhana: is impressive – the most number of current jobs of any job site I found
• And that’s it – Ghana seems to be lacking in the online job board front – or BusinessGhana owns the field

Does this selection mean that most people find employment through newspapers and personal connections, not online? If so, here is another African business opportunity for the right entrepreneur.
