WHAT IS BOTSJOBS.COM?

As the Botswana IFSC engages potential investors, many investors want to know whether Botswana has the correct combination of skills and work ethos to contribute to a business venture. In response to these issues, the Botswana IFSC created the Skills Readiness Initiative, which comprises: the career fair, the internship program, and now BotsJobs.com.

Botsjobs.com is an internet job portal that allows companies to access a range of qualified job seekers. Companies can search through the extensive and growing database of registered job seekers, or post jobs adverts that job seekers can respond to. In addition to connecting with potential employers, job seekers can also take advantage of valuable career guidance information. Botsjobs.com is wholly owned by Botswana IFSC.

Botsjobs.com is an evolution of the Botswana IFSC CV database. The Botswana CV Database was established in 2004 as a response to two emerging concerns. Firstly, international investors were skeptical about the existence of sufficient qualified financial professionals and trainable graduates. Concurrently, young Batswana job-seekers were struggling to communicate their abilities to potential employers. Over 400 job seekers registered on the CV Database in its first year; a number that has since grown to over 4200 users.  These job seekers include over 1100 Finance and Accounting graduates; in excess of 900 Information Technology graduates; and more than 200 individuals with marketing qualifications.

On Monday September 24th, these users will be transferred to the new improved Botsjobs.com portal which will offer improved functionality.
