Nowadays, organizations use websites to announce jobs as the use of technology grows. In Rwanda, different platforms are used such as job in Rwanda, E-recruitment of MIFOTRA, ndangira.net, LinkedIn and so on. These websites provide data related to employment such as number of jobs, domain of job, skills and experience required, degree of education, etc. These data can complement data gathered from Labor Force Survey conducted by NISR which provide the statistics on labor supply side.
To leverage information from websites, NISR staff in collaboration with Office for National Statistics, UK used advanced methodology of data science, and worked on this project of web scrapping job vacancies in a period of six months where they built codes in python programming language for cleaning, analyzing data and generating an automatic report from vacancies web scrapped from both Job in Rwanda and MIFOTRA. Moreover, each week, NISR staff pulls new jobs from the two websites.
