Abstract
The evolution of technology over the years has opened many opportunities in many fields
of life. The sectors of our economy, such as health, agriculture, entertainment, have all been
improved. This evolution gives a new opportunity to people in marketing themselves. Africa
could be said to be behind with some of these technologies, but it is making progress. A
sector Africa requires some more technological advancement is the employment and job
sector. From the hiring process to the management, to the working styles, to name a few.
Ghana, though rich in skilled human resource, still seem to have a relatively high
unemployment rate. Reasons including, lack of knowledge on creating a resume, difficulty in
the job search process offline and online (for cases where openings are not centralized). This
research study seeks to propose the encouragement of self-employment through a web
platform, whose features are mainly:
• To aid people to get contract jobs
• To help with outsourcing jobs
• To allow users to leverage their skills online
• To enable the creation of portfolios and resumes with ease
• To provide a job board for users looking to secure full-time positions
• To allow Employers to have a more streamline process when employing
