In Ghana, Soko Job has launched an AI-powered recruitment platform designed to assist job seekers in their search and help employers find qualified candidates.

Soko Job, a digital hiring tool built by the Ghanaian startup of the same name and led by Roberta Mensah, has launched an AI-based platform designed to speed up recruitment for employers and make it easier for candidates to find jobs. The platform was first introduced in 2024.

“We built SokoJob because we believe that finding a job or talent shouldn’t be a lengthy and painful process. Our goal is to become a catalyst for economic opportunity in Ghana by enabling fast and accurate matching of talent with opportunities,” Roberta Mensah told Disrupt Africa.

Available through its website, Soko Job lets applicants create profiles, upload their CVs or enter their information directly. An AI engine reviews the data to deliver personalized suggestions and highlight openings that match a user’s skills and goals.

The service also offers automated tools for employers. In addition to posting vacancies, companies can use AI-generated pre-screening questions to filter applicants. An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) built into the platform’s messaging interface allows recruiters to handle the hiring process end-to-end, from receiving applications to evaluating candidates.

In its pilot phase, Soko Job helped several Ghanaian firms fill technical and operational roles. The company says it prioritizes user privacy by keeping personal information confidential unless candidates choose to share it. Only verified employers can publish job ads or invite applicants to apply.
