Back in 2014, we recognised a recurring problem in the job market. Access to a trustworthy database of candidates in the entry level and blue collar job segments was largely restricted, and the hiring process highly disorganised. This was due to a crippling unavailability of information regarding skill benchmarks as well as job requirements. It was therefore essential to create a repository of data containing information about jobs as well as candidates in this segment. OLX People was thus born as a means to address this problem.

Over the years, OLX People has evolved into an end-to-end recruitment marketplace connecting employers, consultants and job seekers for jobs across hierarchies in an organization.
