Here is how we are using AI in HaHuJobs Vacancy aggregation is one of our services, it is among our primary product value proposition for jobseekers. We collect web, job board and gazzet published vacancies to one database and add value through extracting important variables and classifying each vacancy. Hence to deliver a high quality information to jobseekers we have a team of 6 or 8 actively working to verify, classify and approve aggregated vacancies, which involves classifying based on US and Europe occupation standards (ESCO and Onet), extracting relevant requirements like skills, education leve, and years of experience from the publication. Collecting and compiling quality data is an expensive endeavor, especially for African Based business like ours. Hence we started working with Tabiya, Michael sahlu leading the implimentation from our end, with the goal to develop an AI model based on our 5 years aggregated and classified data which is over 160k records and increase efficiency of our vacancy publication. Our long time colleague and esteemed senior economist Christian Meyer PHD and team supported us to use Tabiya AI engine to identify qualification, industry sector identification, classification, required working experience and skills recommendation from an HTML based text. As previewed in the vedio bellow. Currently in beta deployment we are collecting data while the model in use by our data team to increase it's accuracy and expand it's implimentation scope beyond our internal tools.

I'm opportune to join the ongoing two weeks Cyber security boot camp organized by DaHel Consultants and Techies facilitated by our amazing tutor @Ononneobazi Aquah Day 1 Assessment. Brief Summary of Cyber security and list of social engineering attacks including ways to avoid the attacks. Cybersecurity refers to the practices, technologies, and processes designed to protect digital information, computer systems, networks, and electronic data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. It encompasses a range of practices, tools, and concepts designed to safeguard information and ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data.This includes protection against malware, viruses, Trojans, spyware, phishing, and other types of cyber threats. Social Engineering Attacks: 1. Phishing: Tricking individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card numbers, through fake emails, texts, or websites that appear legitimate. 2. Pretexting: Scammers create a fictional scenario or story to gain trust and obtain sensitive information from victims, often by posing as authority figures or trusted individuals. 3. Baiting: Leaving malware-infected devices or storage media, such as USB drives, in public areas for unsuspecting individuals to find and plug into their computers, compromising their systems. Ways to Prevent Social Engineering Attacks: 1. Awareness and Education: Educate yourself and others about common social engineering tactics and the importance of being cautious when interacting with unknown individuals or receiving suspicious messages. 2. Verification and Validation: Verify the authenticity of requests for sensitive information and validate the identity of individuals or organizations before providing confidential data.For instance, if someone claims to be from IT, ensure their identity through internal verification before complying with any requests. 3. Implementing Security Measures: Use robust security software, keep systems and applications up-to-date, and use strong passwords and multi-factor authentication to reduce the risk of successful social engineering attacks. walk with me as I partake in this boot camp 🙏 Ononneobazi Aquah #cybersecurity #Daheltechies #Ononneobazi

Exploitation in work place? Yeah it is real and happening every day, especially in the private sector, to be more persisted in security companies in South Sudan. I recently did a poll of on "what is the biggest asset a company or organization have" good results I can say. 11% voted for Tangible and Intangible, 22% polled on Operating and Non-operating, when 67% said Employees, that makes it a total of 9 votes. That is basically 6 votes out of 9 stands for employees, wonderful result. 👏 Correct, the biggest asset each institution has is, it's employees, no operations without people, your company succuss predominately counts on them. Invest in organizational developing culture, invest in your employees, and i promise you will meet your target expectation. I was astonished and taken by surprise to learn that in 2024, there are still companies that give their employees 230ssp (South Sudanese pounds) as food allowance per week, in a month is 920ssp, which they round it up to 1020ssp (Monthly) when the senior management (Foreigners) receives an allowance of nearly $1k a month food allowance. Now, underline this; 🔴 No insurance 🔴 No transport 🔴 No trainings 🔴 No hygiene, i mean health and safety ZERO 🔴 No toilets (they still use Pit Latrine) 🔴 No gender sensitive 🔴 Toxic working environment. and so on; Yea, this is sounds too much and shocking, it shocked me too. these are employees who some if not all, had worked for that company for over 12 years, most of them have no clue of what is going on in the outside world, I mean opportunities. The company's system is micromanaged, very centralized. Senior management are non but entirely foreigners, zero South Sudanese. All that I have seen is nothing but shouting at employees everyday, the work place become so toxic and traumatizing. When a foreign manager disrespect his employees regardless of their ethnicity, or just because they are local, and shout at them (YOU ARE NOT EDUCATED, YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE, AND YOU WILL NEVER LEARN) Then I Calle this nothing but EXPLOITATION. ⚠ Keeping an eye on employees well-being and following the safety standards set by regulators and company protocols are both prominent HR challenges.  The consequences of not adhering to the latter are more obvious and can put your company at risk of being sued. This can lead to costly lawsuits that include paying for settlements, lawyers, court costs, etc.  ✅ Our Ministry of Labor really need a thorough inspection activity from time to time in the private sector, particularly Security Companies, for the sake of the people working there, and their wellbeing. ✅ The policy of 80% locals and 20% foreigners, need to be imposed even more to the management level. Mind you, i am not saying we do not want foreigners, oh yes we do, the market is big for everyone, but the management should be diversify, mix of both. This will help in understanding the local context. #EmpoyeesRight #LaborForAll #NoToExploitation #HR

✨Reflecting on Week 5 of My ALX Virtual Assistant Journey✨ I’m excited to share my Week 5 journey in the ALX Virtual Assistant Program—a week that was both overwhelming and amazing. 🌏 MEETING MANAGEMENT Last week, we focused on meeting management, an essential skill for any VA. With many video conferencing platforms available such as Zoom, Google Meet, Skype and Teams, hosting and supporting virtual meetings has never been easier. However, video conferencing etiquette is crucial for maintaining professionalism; ✅ Choose a quiet location to avoid distractions ✅ Avoid taking phone calls during the meeting ✅ Join the meeting on time ✅ Maintain a professional background ✅ Dress professionally ✅ Be prepared and know the purpose of the meeting As VAs, supporting clients in meeting arrangements often means creating a meeting agenda. A well-structured agenda is essential as it maximizes time by outlining topics and objectives, allowing attendees to prepare effectively. 🌏 DATA ENTRY We also explored data entry, a common VA task that involves inputting information into a computer or database. When tasked with researching and recording data, a good approach is to; ✅ Gather information on the specified topic ✅ Record your findings in an organized way, often in a spreadsheet for easy access and management. 🌏 EXPENSE TRACKING Another valuable VA task is expense tracking. This involves helping clients or managers capture and monitor monthly expenses to ensure their finances stay organized. By setting up a simple expense-tracking system (like using Google Sheets or dedicated apps), VAs can provide clear, timely insights that help clients make informed financial decisions. Week 5 was a rewarding learning experience and I’m looking forward to applying these skills in real-world scenarios! What about you? Are there additional tips you’d like to share on meeting management or data entry? Also, feel free to share your go-to tools for expense tracking in the comments below! #VirtualAssistant #LifeatALX #MeetingManagement #DataEntry #ExpenseTracking #ProfessionalDevelopment #VAEssentials #Doinghardthings

As web developers, we are at the forefront of addressing these challenges from a digital perspective. We understand that a reliable internet connection is not just a convenience but a fundamental requirement for delivering seamless web experiences. When users face slow loading times, intermittent connectivity, or content delivery issues, it directly affects their satisfaction and engagement with digital platforms. However, adversity often breeds innovation. It's during times like these that our adaptability as web developers truly shines. We are constantly evolving our strategies and technologies to optimize performance, reduce bandwidth usage, and ensure a smooth user experience even under less-than-ideal network conditions. In the upcoming posts, we'll delve deeper into how adaptability plays a crucial role in overcoming these internet fiber challenges and why it's an indispensable trait for success in web development. #KenyaInternet #WebDevelopment #Adaptability #TechInnovation

I’ve just finished Week 5 of my ALX Virtual Assistant program, and I’m really happy with what I’ve learned. This week was full of useful lessons on how to create meeting agendas, do basic research, and manage data entry. We also had a session on emotional intelligence, which taught us about empathy in the workplace. I’m excited to start using these new skills in my work. CREATING MEETING AGENDA: One important thing I learned was how to create meeting agendas. Meetings can easily go off track if there is no plan. I now know how to set clear goals, organize topics, and manage time during meetings to keep everything running smoothly. I also learned that it’s helpful to ask for input from team members before the meeting. This way, everyone’s opinions are considered, which makes the meeting more focused and productive. I’m looking forward to using this skill to make meetings more efficient in the future. BASIC RESEARCH SKILLS: This week also covered how to do basic research, which is an important skill for many tasks like creating content or helping businesses make decisions. I learned how to gather the right information, check if it’s reliable, and present it clearly. I feel confident that these research skills will help me provide useful insights to clients and do better work in different projects. DATA ENTRY SKILLS: We also focused on data entry, which is another useful skill. While it might seem simple, it requires a lot of attention to detail. I learned how to organize and manage large amounts of data in a way that is easy to use and understand. Whether it’s keeping track of customer details or processing orders, being good at data entry is important for making sure information is correct and easy to find. I’m excited to use this skill in real-life tasks. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: Empathy in the Workplace In addition to learning technical skills, we also talked about emotional intelligence, especially empathy. This lesson was very important because it showed how understanding other people’s feelings can help improve teamwork and communication. Being able to put myself in someone else’s shoes makes it easier to work together and build trust. I now understand how showing empathy at work can create a positive environment and make teams more productive. I’m committed to practicing empathy in my future work to help build better relationships with colleagues and clients. I’m excited to start using everything I’ve learned from Week 5. Whether it’s organizing meeting agendas, doing research, or managing data entry, these skills will help me become a better virtual assistant. The lessons on emotional intelligence, especially empathy, will also help me create better teamwork and stronger connections in any workplace. With three more weeks left in the program, I’m looking forward to learning even more. I can’t wait to see how these skills will help me in my future jobs! On to week 6!💃
