In Cameroon, talking about how much you earn is often taboo. But JobSika, a homegrown digital platform, is breaking that silence by giving workers a place to anonymously share their salaries and rate their employers. The goal? To build a clearer picture of workplace conditions and pay scales across the country.
Anonymous contributions, real insights 🔒
Unlike traditional job search sites, JobSika isn’t about listing vacancies. It’s about sharing data that matters—real salaries, reported directly by employees, and filtered by job title, company, location, and experience level.
The platform relies on a community-driven model. Users are invited to anonymously submit their salary and rate their workplace. To preserve anonymity and ensure credibility, a company’s name only appears once at least three employees in the same city and position have contributed. That rule helps prevent accidental identification and boosts the platform’s trustworthiness.
The result is a dynamic and growing database that reflects real-world working conditions—an invaluable resource for professionals looking to compare salaries, negotiate better terms, or simply understand the market.
A local answer to global platforms like Glassdoor 🌍
Inspired by global platforms like Glassdoor, JobSika has been tailored specifically for the Cameroonian context, where transparency in the job market is still limited. By encouraging users to share their pay and work experiences, the platform is nudging the culture toward more openness.
This shift doesn’t just benefit workers. Companies know they’re being rated, and that public feedback could motivate them to improve their internal policies and work culture. For employees, this is more than just data—it’s a collective voice and a tool for empowerment.
Built for ease, designed for impact 🖥️
Contributing on JobSika is intentionally simple. Head to jobsika.cm, click the “Contribute” button, and fill out a guided form. The interface even suggests company names, roles, and cities to streamline the process. And yes—it’s fully anonymous.
If you want to reach out to the team behind the platform, you can email them at jobsikacmr@gmail.com or join the Open Source Society Cameroon channel on Telegram. These channels are designed to foster stronger community feedback loops between users and developers.
A tool for a fairer, more informed job market ⚖️
While JobSika doesn’t promise to land you a new job, it equips you with the knowledge to make smarter choices—from salary negotiations to understanding company reputations.
In a landscape where transparency has long been lacking, JobSika is helping rewrite the narrative. It’s a step toward a more open and equitable job market in Cameroon—one data point at a time.
