Afriwork's bot for employers in Ethiopia: post a vacancy through the bot and it goes out to the @freelance_ethio channel with 270,000+ subscribers, where candidates apply through Afriwork's applicant bot. One post costs 1,495 birr including VAT; annual packages are cheaper per post.
Afriwork runs Ethiopia's largest job channel in Telegram, @freelance_ethio, under its older name Freelance Ethiopia. This bot is the employer side of that market: the channel itself links to @freelanceethbot, most recently in June 2026, as the way to hire through Telegram. Candidates apply through the separate applicant bot linked under every post.
Afriwork's pricing page lists what employers pay, including VAT: 1,495 birr for a single post, or annual packages of 10 posts for 9,890 birr, 25 for 21,850 and 50 for 37,950, with pinned posts in the channel on the bigger plans. The company also offers a free salary calculator for setting pay. It is a tool for hiring in Ethiopia and nowhere else.
