In fact, unemployed youth numbered about 11.1 million in 2012, as noted in a 2012 report conducted by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
It’s the younger youth that struggle even more to find jobs, as at least two-thirds of unemployed Nigerians are between 18 and 28 years of age.
“The issue of unemployment in Nigeria is alarming, and so many students
and young graduates are unemployed. Many are waiting for a big opportunity with
the blue chip companies and organizations, which is having a negative effect on
not only our economy but our society as well,” comments the Owner and Founder,
Joseph Okechukwu Nwudu. “I wanted to create a company and online job market platform that would provide opportunities for
work now, thus Slotjobs.com was born.”
Joseph felt that the micro jobs
market was unexplored in Nigeria, which lead to a huge vacuum that needed
to be filled, so he developed Slotjobs.com as a way
to help young people find quick casual
jobs to continue earning an income while they wait for their big opportunity.
The site is free and easy to use for Nigerian
job seekers and business owners.
The sites added features include:
l Free account creation: Individuals, companies and businesses can sign
up and make an account for free, and from there they can post and edit
unlimited jobs, apply for unlimited jobs and communicate freely without any
restriction.
l Resume builder: Nigerian job
seekers can build and modify their resume on the website, sharing their
resume link with employers and applying for jobs with a single click.
l Professional Profile Builder: Job seekers can list their micro job strengths and create detailed
profiles of them to be seen by employers who are looking for new employees.
l Hiring with confidence: Employers can search through and hire verified
professionals backed by Slotjobs.com – reducing time and resources of potentially
hiring unskilled professionals that would be handling jobs they are not
qualified for.
l Talent Forum: Through Slotjobs.com’s “help slot”, users can find
quality job solutions through user recommendations. Employers can pose and ask
a question and hire the skilled professionals with the best answer – all from
the Talent Hunt section of the website.
Now thanks to the micro jobs
website, job seekers can find jobs
online from individuals who have
micro job opportunities. Plus, businesses and companies who are looking to
hire casual workers and skilled professionals can also advertise on the website
by directly accessing the database pool of skilled artisans on the website
freely.
Even in its infant stage, Slotjobs.com has
already seen a positive response by users and is set to offer young graduates
an easy opportunity to find micro jobs and
earn an income while they search for their job in their desired career field
long term.
“The slotjobs.com project is under intense development and will offer
Nigerians a wealth of resources to help them find, keep and explore career
opportunities outside white collar employment.” Joseph concludes.
About the company:
Launched in 2015, Slotjobs.com is Nigeria's
primary micro job advertising website.
The idea came as a result of the unending issue of unemployment in Nigeria. The
company is deployed as a trademark of Stardom Quest Global Services Nigeria
Limited, registered in Abuja on the 4th of November, 2009.

Hello Juliet,
Thank you for raising your concern.
We do not charge a fee to list people on our website. Listing is completely free. However the term "Verification" is an extra step that most employers require about the people they hire. Verification is the manual process of authenticating your address by physically visiting your home and a few other factors not limited only to checking your references and authenticating the validity of your contact information (Of course within jurisdictional rights).
This cost us money and frankly a lot more than N1,000 in some cases, especially of people residing outside Victoria Island or Lagos state. Verification is completely optional and is required for jobseekers seeking to boost employers' confidence in their profile.
I hope this clarify's our stand on verification fee. I will be more than happy to provide further information if you require any.
Thank you again for using slotjobs.com. We've just started! :-)
