Frequently asked questions
Everything you might need clarified before you post your first job.
Job posting
How long does it take for my job to go live?
If you're a verified employer with clean content, your job publishes immediately after payment. First-time employers, or listings with flagged content, go through a quick manual review — usually within a few hours.
What's the difference between Standard and Featured?
Featured jobs get homepage placement in the Featured Jobs section, a highlighted badge/tag of your choice (like "Urgent" or "Immediate Start"), and stand out visually in search results. Standard jobs are listed normally in search and category pages.
Can I edit a job after it's posted?
Yes — from My Jobs you can pause a listing (its remaining visible days are saved, not lost) and resume it later, or renew it once it expires.
Do I have to collect applications through AfriKnack?
No. When posting a job, choose "By email" or "External link" as your Method of Application, and candidates will be sent to your own email or careers page instead of applying in-app.
Payments
How do I pay?
All payments are made via M-Pesa. You'll get an STK push prompt on your phone — enter your PIN to confirm, and your payment is processed immediately.
What happens if my job is rejected after I've paid?
Payment and publish-eligibility are separate. If a job is rejected during review, a refund is automatically initiated — see our refund policy for details.
Is there a subscription or long-term contract?
No — pricing is per job listing. Post as often (or as rarely) as you need.
Candidate search
How does searching candidate profiles work?
Search jobseeker profiles by name, skill, or location. Public profiles show contact details directly; semi-private profiles require sending a message request, which the candidate can accept or decline.
What are search credits?
Sending a message request to a semi-private profile uses one credit from your account. Public-profile contacts don't use a credit.
What if a candidate doesn't respond?
Credits aren't automatically refunded for a non-response, but inactive profiles (no login in 6+ months) are flagged so you can avoid spending credits on dormant accounts.
