Online Recruitment Service in Botswana

In a bid to tackle unemployment in Botswana startup Mohiri has developed an AI-driven personalised job alerts service that connects subscribers with relevant vacancies through their mobile phones. Launched in November 2018, Mohiri is a social media-based chatbot that allows users to sign up for personalised alerts. The startup, which recently won the Gaborone leg of the Seedstars World competition, had come together previously, with the team building chatbots for businesses and government agencies without getting much traction. Thanks to mobile network operators subsidising the data costs, Mohiri’s social-first approach has attracted 20,000 subscribers, and some 100s of jobs have already been secured using the service.
