Find a job and build your profile
Search jobs across Africa, build a standout candidate profile that employers can find, and apply.
The Job Portal connects you with roles from companies, NGOs, and corporates across Africa. You can browse jobs, build a professional profile, and get found by employers.
Find a job
- Open Jobs on ardent.africa.
- Search by job title, skill, or keyword.
- Narrow results by category, employment type (full-time, contract, internship…), workplace (on-site, hybrid, remote), and sort by newest, top salary, or closing soon.
- Open a posting to see the full description, responsibilities, requirements, skills, and salary (when shared), plus the company behind it.
Build your CV
Open My CV in your dashboard. Build it once and it does three jobs: employers find you in the talent directory, you apply in a tap, and you can download it as a PDF to use anywhere.
About you. A photo, a headline, a proper summary, your region and district, years of experience, skills and languages, and links to a portfolio, LinkedIn or GitHub.
What you want. The roles you are after, the type of work (full-time, contract, internship and so on), whether you want on-site, hybrid or remote, and a salary expectation. Your salary expectation is never shown publicly; it only helps employers match you to the right role.
Your history. Experience, education, projects and certifications, each its own section. For a job, say what you were responsible for and what changed because of you. Concrete beats vague: numbers, scale, outcomes. You can edit, reorder and remove any entry.
Contact details and CV file. Your email and phone, plus an optional PDF or Word CV of your own.
A CV strength meter at the top scores your profile out of 100 and lists what would help most, biggest first. Work history carries the most weight, because that is what employers read first.
Your contact details stay private
Your email, phone, and exact address are never shown on your public profile. Employers reach you through Ardent. You stay in control of who you talk to.
Download your CV as a PDF
Choose Download CV (PDF) on the My CV page. It builds a clean, printable document from everything you have filled in, named after you. Use it anywhere: attach it to an application off Ardent, email it, or print it. Your CV is yours.
On your phone
The Ardent app has My CV under My activity in the More tab, covering the essentials, your work history and education. Projects, certifications, links, salary and the PDF download live on the website, where longer typing is easier.
Job messages are in the app too. You can message an employer about a role you applied for from Job applications, and read and answer anything a company sends you, without opening the website.
You can also attach your CV file to your profile, send it as a PDF to anyone who asks, attach documents when you apply, and correct anything on your CV without deleting and retyping it. Projects, certifications, links and salary expectations are still edited on the website.
Apply for a role
On a job posting, choose Apply. Some employers take applications on Ardent; others link to their own site. Either way, you apply with the profile you have already built.
Ask about a role in public
Every job posting has a discussion where you can ask a question that anyone can see, and the employer or anyone else can answer. Because it is public, keep anything personal (your salary expectations, your notice period, your circumstances) for your application or your private thread with the employer.
Get found
Mark yourself open to work so employers browsing the talent directory know you are available. Strong, complete profiles surface higher, and employers can filter the directory by skills and by region, so filling both is worth the few minutes.
