TOHO is a dynamic job portal designed to bridge the employment gap across Africa. The portal's advanced algorithms ensure that candidates are matched with roles that align with their skills and aspirations, while its intuitive interface simplifies the hiring process. TOHO fosters a community-driven approach to employment, making job searching and recruitment more accessible and efficient across the continent.
Beyond connecting candidates and organizations, the portal also integrates features such as regional job trend insights, career development resources, and company showcases, positioning TOHO as a transformative force in shaping Africa’s digital employment landscape.
Nextwebi collaborated with TOHO to conceptualize and deliver a feature-rich job portal designed exclusively for the African employment market. The platform was envisioned as more than just a listing site — it was built to serve as a dynamic digital ecosystem that connects employers with job seekers while streamlining the entire recruitment journey.
For Employers: the portal offers a comprehensive dashboard that allows organizations to create detailed job postings, manage company profiles, and monitor applicant activity in real-time. Employers can view candidate profiles, approve or reject applications, communicate directly with job seekers, and manage the lifecycle of job postings by marking them as open, paused, or closed. Additional tools such as applicant screening questions, advanced job categorization (full-time, part-time, remote, or contract), and visibility into application deadlines further enhance recruitment efficiency.
For Job Seekers: the portal provides an intuitive interface to register, build detailed profiles, upload resumes, and apply seamlessly to relevant opportunities. Candidates benefit from advanced job search filters based on location, salary, experience, skills, and job type, alongside personalized job alerts that keep them updated with the latest opportunities. Features such as resume uploads, cover letter management, profile completion steps, and application history tracking empower job seekers to present themselves professionally and manage their career journey effectively.
To extend engagement, the solution was also integrated with WhatsApp-based communication modules, offering options for OTP verification, job alerts, guided navigation, and advanced conversational flows — ensuring that both employers and employees can interact with the portal using familiar channels.
This holistic approach by Nextwebi has positioned TOHO not just as a job portal, but as a transformative employment platform, bridging the gap between Africa’s growing talent pool and its evolving job market.
Inefficient Recruitment Workflows
Employers were dependent on manual processes such as email applications and paper resumes, which made it difficult to track applicants, manage communication, or streamline the hiring cycle. This led to slower recruitment and missed opportunities.
Need for WhatsApp Integration
With WhatsApp being one of the most widely used communication tools in Africa, the absence of WhatsApp-based verification, job alerts, and applicant interactions reduced engagement and accessibility for users who preferred mobile-first communication.
Outdated Technology and Limited Scalability
Existing regional solutions were built on outdated code frameworks, restricting scalability, security, and integration with advanced functionalities. Without modernization, it was difficult to create a portal that could handle growing traffic and evolving recruitment needs.
No AI-Driven Features
There was no support for AI-enabled recommendations, smart job matching, or automated applicant screening. The lack of AI compatibility also affected search engine optimization (SEO) and reduced the visibility of job postings across search platforms.
Poor Candidate Experience
Job seekers had limited access to features like advanced search filters, resume uploads, or profile management. The absence of structured digital profiles restricted candidates from presenting themselves professionally or applying with ease.
Lack of Employer–Employee Interaction Tools
Without an integrated messaging system, employers could not easily connect with candidates. This lack of direct communication slowed down decision-making and weakened engagement on both sides.
No Career Resources or Employer Branding
There were no tools for providing career guidance, company reviews, or blogs, which reduced the platform’s ability to build trust, support professional development, and attract quality candidates.
Limited Digital Integration
The recruitment process did not extend to modern channels like social media job sharing, mobile alerts, or real-time notifications — all of which are critical for engaging today’s digitally active workforce.
Job Portal Design & Development: Built a scalable, enterprise-grade job portal with a modern and intuitive user interface, tailored for the African employment market and aligned with TOHO’s vision of becoming a leading recruitment platform.
Custom UI/UX: Designed a seamless experience for both employers and job seekers with interactive dashboards, responsive layouts, and multi-step profile completion flows to enhance engagement and usability.
Employer & Job Management System: Developed a robust backend for employers to create detailed job postings, manage applications, view applicant profiles, and control job status (Open, Pause, or Close) with complete transparency.
Advanced Job Search & Filters: Implemented intelligent search with filters for job type, location, industry, salary range, skills, and experience level, enabling candidates to quickly find the most relevant opportunities.
Dynamic Candidate Profiles: Enabled job seekers to build comprehensive digital profiles, upload resumes and cover letters, track applications, and manage their professional history in one centralized platform.
Communication & Interaction Tools: Integrated messaging and notification systems allowing employers to approve, reject, or directly engage with candidates, while candidates receive timely updates on application progress.
Job Alerts & Notifications: Built automated alerts and email notifications to keep candidates informed about new opportunities. Designed the platform to optionally support WhatsApp integration for real-time communication.
Admin Panel: Developed a comprehensive admin dashboard for TOHO’s team to oversee employers, employees, job postings, applications, resumes, and content — with the ability to approve/reject jobs, block users, and manage platform integrity.
Analytics & Tracking: Integrated advanced analytics tools to track user behavior, job posting performance, and applicant trends, helping TOHO make data-driven decisions for continuous platform improvement.
