hire in ethiopia
Hiring in Ethiopia is concentrated in Addis Ababa, with regional cities such as Hawassa, Bahir Dar and Dire Dawa as smaller markets. Candidates work in Amharic and English, and Afaan Oromo or other regional languages matter outside the capital. The pool is large and young, with many university graduates, experience in aviation, manufacturing, agriculture and international organisations, and a large diaspora in the United States and Europe.
