Online marketplace OLX is more than just the world’s biggest trading platform, unlocking value for customers and traders. It has also helped millions of people find jobs, boasting an impressive 2M+ visits every month, and is fast becoming Egypt’s go-to recruitment platform. 

With Egypt emerging from the pandemic as one of Africa’s most promising economies, and with the job market’s slow recovery, OLX is giving back. The platform is a multipurpose marketplace, and has also helped thousands of Egyptians secure jobs, across diverse industries and talent pools. Some of the biggest categories are sales, tourism and travel, and workers and technicians, with over 20,000 monthly listings in each category. Job seekers are also prominently using the platform to find work in Engineering, Healthcare, Marketing and Public Relations, Nursing and Customer Service, among others, with more than 600,000 job seekers finding work this year alone. 

OLX is Egypt’s most diversified platform for job seekers, connecting employers with talent across varied backgrounds. It’s also breaking employment barriers, allowing users to apply to multiple jobs with the mere click of a button.

There’s a phenomenal level of engagement, with tens of thousands of users posting and responding to listings every day. As an inherently dynamic platform offering thousands of job opportunities, OLX is a reliable place for ambitious talent to find work. Its 2-million strong visitorship rivals the region’s top job search websites. 

“I’m immensely proud of the positive impact that OLX has on Egyptian society, providing value and giving back to Egypt’s abundant labour market despite the difficult challenges posed by the pandemic,” says OLX’s Egypt Country Manager Sherif Nahtawy.

“Living up to OLX’s mission as the world’s biggest trading platform, we are connecting business owners to talent from varied backgrounds, making it easy for people from all walks of life to find suitable job opportunities in an accessible way that matches today’s fast-changing world.”
