Kivu Jobs: vacancies and CVs in Rwanda

Part of Kivu Super App (kivu.site). In the app this section is called Kivu Jobs.

Kivu Jobs is the work section of Kivu Super App. Employers post vacancies, and people who look for work post their CVs. Each post has a title, a category, a description and, if the author wants, a salary range, links and CV files. The other side reads the post and writes in Kivu Chat or calls.

Kivu Jobs is a bulletin board, not a recruitment agency. Kivu does not hire, does not check employers or candidates and takes no commission. Posting a vacancy or a CV is free, and contacting the author is free. Nobody should pay to get a job.

How to use it, step by step

If you look for work

Open kivu.site, sign in with a free account and open Jobs.
Open the "Hire Talent" tab: this is where employers' vacancies are. Choose a category (IT, Construction, Driver, Retail, Restaurant or Other) or scroll the whole list.
Open a vacancy to read the description and the salary, and to open the links or files the employer attached.
Tap "Send Message" to write to the employer in Kivu Chat, or tap the call button to see the phone number.
To let employers find you, tap the plus button to post your own CV. Choose the type "Find Job", write your profession as the title, pick a category and describe your skills and experience.
If you want, add the salary you expect, a contact phone, a link to your portfolio and up to 3 CV files (PDF or Word, up to 5 MB each).
Tap "Post Ad". The post is checked automatically, and you get a notification when it is approved or rejected.
Never pay money to get a job, an interview or a "registration". If someone asks for that, tap the report button on the post.

If you are hiring

Open kivu.site, sign in with a free account and open Jobs.
Tap the plus button. Choose the type "Hire Talent", write the job title, pick a category and describe the work: duties, requirements, place, schedule.
Add the salary range if you can; candidates trust vacancies with a clear salary more.
Add a contact phone and, if needed, a link or a file with the full job description.
Tap "Post Ad". The vacancy is checked automatically, and you get a notification when it is approved or rejected.
In "My Ads" you see the status of each post: Under review, Published, Rejected by moderation or Hidden after report.
Candidates write to you in Kivu Chat or call you. You can also open the "Find Job" tab and contact people who posted their CVs.
When the position is filled, delete the vacancy. To change a post, delete it and post it again.

What it costs

Posting a vacancy or a CV, reading posts, chatting and calling are free. There is no fee to apply and no commission when someone is hired.

The only paid thing is an optional boost for a post that is already published. A boost shows the post higher in the list for 1, 3, 7 or 30 days. Prices in Rwandan francs (RWF):

Boost	What it does	1 day	3 days	7 days	30 days
Premium Job	The post is shown above all regular posts	800	2,000	4,000	12,000
Elite Role	The post is shown above the other boosted posts	1,200	3,000	6,000	18,000

Sticker on the post (HIRING NOW, REMOTE or PART-TIME): 300 RWF a day, with the same discounts for longer periods (750 for 3 days, 1,500 for 7 days, 4,500 for 30 days). Sold only together with a boost.
Golden design for the post: 300 RWF once, for the whole boost period. Sold only together with a boost.
You pay inside the app with MTN Mobile Money and confirm the payment with your MoMo PIN on your phone. The app shows the total before you pay.
A boost changes only the position and the look of a post. It does not skip the check, and a "verified" mark cannot be bought.
When the boost ends, the sticker and the golden design end with it. The post stays published in its normal place.
Only one boost at a time: a new boost can be bought only after the current one ends.

What is good about it

Free for both sides: no fee to post, no fee to apply, no commission.
Vacancies and CVs in one place, so an employer can also find people who are already looking for work.
A post can show a salary range, which saves time for both sides.
A job seeker can attach up to 3 CV files and a link to a portfolio.
You can write to the other side in Kivu Chat without giving your phone number first.
Every new post is checked before it appears, and every post has a report button.
Posts do not expire, so you do not need to post the same CV again every few weeks.
The app works in 11 languages, including English, Kinyarwanda, French and Swahili.
The app is under 400 KB and opens in the phone browser, so it works on cheap phones and slow mobile internet.

Limits, and what protects you

What to know	What protects you
Kivu does not check employers. A vacancy can be posted by anyone with an account, and Kivu cannot confirm that the company or the job is real.	Never pay to get a job, an interview, training or a "registration". Look up the company, meet at its real office in the daytime, and do not send copies of your ID before you are sure. Use the report button; the team bans accounts that cheat. Fraud is a matter for the police.
Kivu does not check candidates. A CV is written by its author.	Employers should check documents, call previous employers and agree on a trial period before trusting a new worker with money or goods.
Kivu cannot confirm what is inside an attached file or behind a link.	Open files and links only when the post looks honest, and never type passwords or Mobile Money PINs on a page opened from a link.
Kivu is not a party to the work agreement and does not handle salaries, contracts or disputes.	Agree on the salary, the duties and the pay day in writing before you start. Labour disputes are handled under Rwandan labour law.
The salary in a post is written by its author and is not checked.	Confirm the amount and how it is paid before you accept the job.
If you attach your CV and a phone number, signed-in users can open them.	Put in your CV only what you are ready to show to strangers; leave out your ID number and home address. You can post without a phone and answer in Kivu Chat first. Delete the post when you have found work.
A published post cannot be edited in the app.	Delete it and post it again. This is free, and the new post is checked again.
Posts do not expire, so an old vacancy may still be shown after the position is filled.	Ask in chat whether the position is still open before you travel to an interview.
There are only 6 categories for now, and no search by words.	Choose the nearest category or "Other" and put the profession in the title, so that it is easy to notice in the list.
Kivu works in Rwanda only for now, and it is new: the public launch is October 2026, so the number of vacancies is still small.	Real numbers are open to everyone at kivu.site/stats. Keep using your other ways of looking for work or staff as well.
