The occupations that are hiring in Africa: sector guides

From construction sites to banks, from NGOs to international organisations, each sector has its own employers, pay levels and recruitment channels across the continent.

A highly sector-based job market

In Africa, large formal employers are concentrated in a few sectors: mining and energy, banking, telecoms, construction, health and international organisations. Knowing the players in a sector helps you target applications instead of sending them everywhere.

What these guides cover

Each sector page describes the roles in demand, the qualifications expected, pay ranges where they are published, and the specialist sites or recruitment firms to check in that sector.
