Why Workplace Forums are Bad for Job Recruitment in South Africa
South Africa is a country where unemployment is high, especially among the youth. With the increasing number of people looking for jobs, South African workplaces are now filled with workplace forums. These forums have taken over other traditional methods of job recruitment such as newspaper advertisements and face-to-face networking.
Unemployment has been a major issue in South Africa for a long time and this has led to the rise of workplace forums in recent years. However, these forums are not very effective at finding employment opportunities or connecting employers and job seekers. This is because they lack transparency in their process which means that there is no accountability when it comes to hiring decisions. As a result, many job seekers end up disappointed by the lack of opportunities offered on these forums which leads to them being discouraged from further participation in these forums or even looking for work elsewhere.

Negative Effects that Online Job Sites Have on Job Recruitment in Africa
Online job sites have been found to have negative effects on the job market in Africa. This is mainly because they lack the information and services to help potential candidates find a suitable job.

These online platforms do not provide any other services such as career counselling, resume writing or interview preparation. This means that they cannot help people find jobs in Africa because of the lack of relevant information and services.
