See how SkillLink handles job posts, applications, service bookings, admin-reviewed listings, and payments with Telebirr and bank accounts.

How SkillLink works

One platform, four clear paths

Recruitment and local services share the same account system, admin-reviewed listings, in-app messaging, and Ethiopian payment rails—described here exactly as the product works today.

Recruitment

Job Seekers

1. Complete your profile

Finish job-seeker onboarding, upload resume versions, and keep skills and preferences current in your dashboard.

2. Discover matched roles

Browse approved job posts and use AI-assisted recommendations and match insights on listings that fit your profile.

3. Apply and stay in the loop

Apply with your resume, track application status, message employers, and manage interview requests from one place.

Recruitment

Employers

1. Post a job

Create job listings with title, location, required skills, and experience. Approved posts go live after admin review.

2. Review applicants

See who applied, move candidates through your pipeline, shortlist fits, and schedule interviews without leaving the dashboard.

3. Hire with records

Message candidates, update hiring stages, and keep recruitment activity documented in your employer workspace.

Services

Service Customers

1. Find a provider

Search the services marketplace by category, city, rating, and availability to find verified local professionals.

2. Book the service

Select a provider, pick date and time, describe the work, and submit a booking that the provider can accept from their dashboard.

3. Pay with local rails

Pay using Telebirr, CBE, or bank transfer where enabled. Track booking status and payment history in your customer account.

Services

Service Providers

1. Verify and list services

Complete provider onboarding, pass verification steps, and publish service listings for admin approval before they appear publicly.

2. Manage bookings

Receive booking requests, update job status, coordinate with customers via messages, and manage your schedule in the provider dashboard.

3. Payout to Telebirr or bank

Link Telebirr, CBE, or bank account details for payouts. Completed work and confirmed payments are reflected in your earnings view.
