Mvungi Job Master Launches Workforce Marketplace to Expand Access to Employment and Skilled Services

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BLANTYRE, MALAWI – June 2026 – Mvungi Job Master, an AI-powered employment and workforce management platform, has launched the Mvungi Workforce Marketplace, a new digital feature designed to connect skilled workers, service providers, households, businesses, NGOs, churches, and organizations through a centralized online platform.

The launch represents a significant step in the company's mission to improve workforce visibility and expand access to employment opportunities through technology.

For many workers operating outside traditional corporate recruitment channels, finding employment opportunities often depends on personal networks, physical applications, community referrals, or word-of-mouth recommendations. At the same time, individuals and organizations seeking workers frequently face difficulties identifying qualified and trustworthy candidates for everyday services and short-term engagements.

The Mvungi Workforce Marketplace seeks to address this challenge by providing a digital space where workers can showcase their skills, experience, and availability, while employers and service seekers can search, discover, and connect directly with suitable candidates.

The platform supports a wide range of occupations and services, including drivers, housekeepers, cleaners, gardeners, caregivers, security guards, plumbers, electricians, tutors, chefs, domestic workers, tradespeople, and other skilled and semi-skilled professionals.

Growing Adoption of Digital Recruitment

Since its launch in October 2025, Mvungi Job Master has attracted more than 10,000 registered users across Malawi, Zambia, and parts of South Africa and has facilitated over 70 verified employment placements.

While the company describes the figure as an early milestone, it says the placements reflect growing confidence in digital recruitment systems within a labour market that has historically relied on physical applications, newspaper advertisements, and personal referrals.

Beyond recruitment, the platform has evolved into a broader workforce ecosystem offering AI-powered job matching, applicant tracking, workforce management tools, payroll administration capabilities, and employability development services through Mvungi Academy.

Connecting Talent with Opportunity

According to Mvungi Job Master Chief Executive Officer, Chikondi Willie, the Workforce Marketplace was developed after recognizing a common challenge affecting both job seekers and employers.


"Many capable and hardworking individuals possess valuable experience and practical skills but often struggle to access formal employment channels. This platform creates a digital space where they can showcase their abilities and be discovered by people actively looking for their services. At the same time, it allows those looking for workers — whether a family, a business, or an organisation — to find suitable talent quickly and more efficiently."


He noted that the platform was intentionally designed to serve both formal and informal segments of the labour market.


"We have built this platform to support people looking for domestic workers, service providers, skilled tradespeople, and other professionals who offer essential services within our communities. Whether someone is looking for a driver, cleaner, gardener, caregiver, tutor, chef, security guard, plumber, or electrician, the Workforce Marketplace creates a simple and accessible way to connect with talent while helping workers market their skills and increase their earning opportunities."


A Shift Toward Digital Workforce Solutions

Willie believes the platform's growth demonstrates increasing willingness among employers and job seekers to embrace technology as part of the recruitment process.


"For many years, recruitment in Malawi has largely depended on newspaper advertisements, physical applications, and personal networks. Every verified placement through a digital platform represents progress toward a more connected and efficient labour market. The growing number of users joining Mvungi demonstrates that people are becoming increasingly comfortable with using technology to access opportunities and talent."


He added that the company's broader vision extends beyond recruitment and focuses on creating practical technology solutions that address workforce challenges across Africa.


"We believe technology should help solve real African challenges. By creating solutions that connect workers directly with individuals, households, businesses, and organisations, we are contributing to a more inclusive employment ecosystem. We are helping shape how people in Malawi and across Africa can use modern technology to solve African problems."


Supporting Workforce Development

The launch of the Workforce Marketplace comes at a time when governments, businesses, and development stakeholders are increasingly exploring digital solutions to address unemployment, workforce visibility, skills recognition, and labour market accessibility.

By creating a platform that allows individuals to showcase their capabilities beyond formal qualifications alone, Mvungi Job Master aims to support broader participation in the digital economy while expanding access to income-generating opportunities for skilled workers across different sectors.

The Workforce Marketplace is now available to registered Mvungi users, enabling workers across various sectors to showcase their skills and connect with new employment and income-generating opportunities.
