Lenat is a distinguished network of doctors committed to providing essential information and support on pregnancy, childbirth, and early childhood development to parents and expectant parents. Lenat also offers professional medical advice to individuals seeking consultations, ensuring they receive reliable and expert guidance. Despite Lenat’s humble goal, the recruitment of a large number of doctors to their network posed a significant challenge. The number of doctors needed, the importance of enhancing its offers and extending its reach led Lenat to set an ambitious goal of onboarding 300 doctors through Afriwork’s network.
In Addis Ababa, mass recruitment typically goes through either one of three primary methods, which are agencies, job boards and recruitment platforms, each presenting distinct advantages and drawbacks.
Agencies’ high price requirements from employers, usually priced at 10-15% of the first-month salary, is the major drawback for most businesses. Given that the average monthly salary of a doctor is ETB 11,500, the cost of hiring 300 doctors through agencies could escalate to ETB 517,500.
Job boards have served as a common alternative due to their high engagement and broad reach. Despite this, Job boards don’t streamline the entire recruitment process as they only provide solutions to the initial steps of hire.
Recruitment Platforms, on the other hand, promise faster and more efficient hiring solutions, despite their inability to meet the high demand required for large scale recruitment.
When Lenat sought to onboard 300 doctors, Afriwork rose to the challenge by successfully delivering the required number of doctors within two months. More impressively, Afriwork demonstrated efficiency and capability and managed to do so at a cost of only ETB 300,000. This significant cost efficiency represents a 42% expense cut as compared to aforementioned methods.
Afriwork utilizes advanced algorithms and a vast database to match qualified candidates with job requirements quickly and accurately. This efficient matching process aided by the automation of the tedious aspects of recruitment significantly speeds up the process. By reducing the need for extensive manual intervention and leveraging technology, Afriwork minimizes costs offering a more affordable solution for large-scale hiring.
In addition, Afriwork’s broad reach and extensive pool of candidates ensured that even specialized roles, such as doctors, are filled promptly.
Afriwork proved to be a game-changer in achieving the recruitment goals of Lenat. It proved itself to be a prominent player in handling both small-scale needs and large-scale hiring needs. By leveraging Afriwork’s innovative platform, Lenat efficiently and cost-effectively expanded their network of doctors.
