Jimma | Mekelle | Bahir Dar | Hawassa | Dire Dawa
1. Introduction
GeezJobs is a rapidly expanding digital Human Resource and Recruitment technology platform operating in Ethiopia, providing comprehensive workforce solutions including technology-driven recruitment systems, job advertising infrastructure, CV and talent database services, payroll management, HR consulting, employee management systems, and professional training services.
Over the past operational period, GeezJobs has established strong market demand across multiple regions of Ethiopia, supported by increasing engagement from employers, institutions, and professional partners requesting localized service access.
In response to this growing national demand, GeezJobs Management has officially approved a structured nationwide expansion strategy, beginning with major regional cities.
Following the successful completion of our first phase of expansion, we are now entering the Second Round National Expansion Program, targeting strategic regional hubs across Ethiopia.
2. Strategic Expansion Framework
This expansion is structured as a franchise-based decentralized operating model, designed to accelerate national coverage while ensuring localized execution excellence.
Under this framework, GeezJobs will appoint qualified independent partners to operate under the GeezJobs brand in designated cities, ensuring consistent service delivery while enabling local business ownership and operational autonomy.
This model is not employment-based. It is a commercial partnership and business franchise agreement designed for entrepreneurs, investors, and operational leaders.
3. Target Expansion Cities – Second Round
The current expansion round focuses on the following strategic cities:
- Jimma
