Jobberman has announced the addition of another female C-Level executive to its team in the person of Rolake Rosiji. Rolake becomes the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company and is taking over from Hilda Kragha.

Jobberman was established in 2009 in Ife when Ope Awoyemi, Lekan Olude and Deji Adewunmi came together to create a platform that would revolutionize the recruitment industry in Nigeria. The three friends intended to help job seekers find jobs and provide a way for companies to advertise job openings to the right people for the job.
