RemoteWorkPadi, a remote job board for African professionals, is preparing to launch an upgraded version of its platform on October 6, 2025. The platform, which first became public on March 31, 2025, has focused on helping Africans access verified remote job opportunities while reducing exposure to fraudulent listings.
The initiative was founded by Alice Awobite Joshua, Africa’s No 1 Remote Work Coach and product manager. She explained that the platform was created in response to the rise of scams and fake job offers. According to her, every listing on RemoteWorkPadi undergoes a vetting process to ensure legitimacy, and the tools provided are tailored to support African jobseekers in navigating the global market.
Since its initial release as a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), the platform has attracted more than 13,000 signups across the continent, with over 500 monthly active users. Its approach of prioritizing quality over quantity has distinguished it from other job boards that often host large numbers of unverified positions.
The upcoming version, RemoteWorkPadi V2, introduces artificial intelligence features designed to simplify the application process. These tools include the ability to generate tailored cover letters, scan job descriptions for Applicant Tracking System (ATS) keywords, write recruiter and negotiation emails, optimize LinkedIn profiles, and create keyword focused bullet points for resumes.
The platform’s team describes the new version as an advanced system aimed at providing African professionals with stronger support in securing opportunities across Africa, Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
With the official launch date approaching, users of the platform and new jobseekers are awaiting the release. ‘African talent is world class, and all we’ve been missing is access and support,’ Alice said, noting that the new version is intended to bridge this gap.
