Millions of African job seekers spend countless hours searching across job boards, company websites, social networks, NGO portals, and other online platforms to find opportunities that match their skills. Many opportunities are missed simply because they are scattered across the internet.

This session explores how AI can transform job searching into intelligent job discovery.

Using the HireSasa vision as a case study, Emmanuel Gabriel Ndayambaje will demonstrate how technologies such as Google Gemini (using career page scrapping and AI Grounded Job Search), combined with automated web discovery, data processing, job classification, deduplication, and personalized matching, can bring relevant opportunities into one intelligent platform.

Rather than requiring users to repeatedly search different websites, HireSasa aims to continuously discover opportunities from publicly accessible sources and participating platforms, organize them, and help users find jobs based on their skills, experience, location, education, and career interests.

The session will explore the technical possibilities, opportunities, challenges, and responsible use of AI in building employment infrastructure for Africa—including data quality, source permissions, verification, bias, personalization, and the future of AI-powered career discovery.

The bigger question: What if AI could search the opportunity economy for you—and make relevant opportunities accessible to anyone, anywhere in Africa?
