Site's statement

Jobboard Finder’s opinion

Summary: Created back in 2006 by a French couple (Philippe and Alexandra Montant), ReKrute has become one of the top mutli-country generalist job boards in North Africa. With over 1 400 job offers on their website alone, it is an essential part of the recruitment industry in Morocco (Linkedin offers a similar number of jobs). A year after it was launched, AmalJOB was created but ReKrute remained on top after its rapid rise to fame (they went from 490 000 visits in February 2015 to 960 000 visits in March 2015). Today, the site has 138 268 followers on Facebook, 1 712 on Twitter, 127 177 on LinkedIn and 1 548 on Youtube, not to mention the 397 920 visits a month. Even with Bayt.com on the market, ReKrute still offers 5 times more jobs in Morocco than the Middle Eastern job board giant. They continue to gather information about what people actually want to see in a business and the feedback has kept them on top.

Design: They emphasize the “k” in their logo for reasons unbenownst to us, but we like the design nonetheless. It appears on their other websites too in different colours. The search engine (keywords, sector and location) appears at the top of the page and featured companies and jobs fill up the rest of the homepage. Once in the job listing, you can cull the offers thanks to the filters (function, sector, experience, country, region, management position, languages, level of studies, type of contract, type of recruiter). There is a big emphasis on the company names, the logo and what each company has to offer. A very appealing and simple-to-use layout. You just know you’re dealing with professionals who deal with professionals to create more professionals. They are ranked 173rd on the most visited websites list, 268 executives are recruited on ReKrute every day.

The job board objective: One of the first of its kind in Morocco, ReKrute aims to improve the job market in Morocco and North Africa.

Recruiter observations: You can’t just sign on to ReKrute. You fill out the online form and then they choose whether or not you are worthy of their website.

Jobseeker observations: Simple to sign up, friendly automatic emails to keep you updated on the website activity and a straightforward structure for the job offers including an overview of the company, the available positions, the candidate profile and the type of contract on offer. If you’re between the ages of 25 and 40 and you want to work for some of the biggest companies in the area, then Rekrute is the way to go.

The job offers: The brand of the company is very important so you’ll mostly be finding jobs in big companies. There are currently 1 489 available jobs.

Reactivity: They send out automatic messages to keep you updated when you subscribe or ask questions. Still waiting for a real answer.

Special features: The “happyatwork” survey, additional HR tools (like e-tests and software), a separate website for the managers and leaders market (www.exekutive.biz/), a separate website for their e-learning software and HR advice (www.rekruteknowledge.com/); the YouTube videos.

Verdict: If you are recruiting in Morocco, you should definitely use ReKrute. It truly is one of the best in the region, and a trusted brand name, which is particularly important to young working Moroccans.
