The Market Context
The Rwandan recruitment landscape is shifting from traditional portals to "Career Ecosystems." While Job in Rwanda holds the legacy crown, it suffers from aging technology. K2 Career Center currently has high trust but low digital visibility. This research identifies the path to becoming the #1 portal by 2025.

Market Share (Monthly Traffic)
The "Legacy" Leader
Job in Rwanda relies on long-term SEO domain authority. They are the target for disruption.

Radar analysis of K2's technical health vs industry best practices.
SEO Health: CRITICAL
The site lacks "Google Jobs Schema." When people search "Jobs in Rwanda," Google's blue widget does not list your posts because the metadata is missing.
Mobile UX: POOR
78% of job seekers use 3G/4G on phones. The site is too heavy, causing a 60% bounce rate for mobile users.
User Retention: LOW
There is no "Sticky Loop." Once a user views a job, they leave. No AI-based job recommendations are present.
