Edomatch disrupts traditional recruitment in Togo by offering employers and job seekers a mobile platform designed to simplify hiring. The application aims to provide a fast, accessible and low-cost solution for both sides of the labor market.

Edomatch is a digital tool that allows any job seeker—whether full-time, part-time or for temporary assignments—to apply online through its website or mobile app. The Lomé-based start-up launched the service in 2024 under the leadership of founder Chris Koehler.

“Our mission is to simplify and humanize the job search while helping companies find talent efficiently,” the start-up states. The application runs on iOS and Android, and it has already surpassed 50,000 downloads on the Play Store.

The platform enables users to create profiles, review available offers and apply in a few clicks. Companies can publish job postings and preselect candidates directly from the app. This structure reduces administrative steps and accelerates recruitment processes.

Edomatch differentiates itself through its broad sector coverage, which includes commerce, logistics, services, construction and hospitality. The app uses geolocation tools that allow candidates to identify job postings near their homes. This feature supports local employability and reduces unnecessary travel.

The platform also facilitates professional integration for young people, inexperienced candidates and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. For companies, the application reduces time and resource costs by eliminating the need to publish across multiple channels, sort large volumes of CVs or rely on expensive intermediaries. Firms can quickly identify relevant profiles and access candidates available for immediate hire.

By combining an accessible mobile interface, a large pool of job listings and an inclusive orientation, Edomatch has the potential to transform Togo’s labor market. In an economy marked by informality and high unemployment, the platform could become a key tool for professional integration by making recruitment more transparent, efficient and equitable.
