There is no doubt that whereas the continued Covid-19 countrywide lockdown has hit the economy hard, it has also stimulated job-seekers and potential employers to improvise on the recruitment process.
This was the general consensus at the recent Zoom meeting between major stakeholders in the job market, in which it was also widely agreed that the pandemic is likely to be with us for a long time yet the economy has to run, writes Ernest Jjingo.
Today, the recruitment process is mostly about ingenuity of the organisation and the prospective employee. This has placed jobs and recruitment platforms at the centre stage of the process and at the end of it all, it is about creativity and innovation.

Eight years ago, five young medical entrepreneurs introduced the telemedicine concept in Uganda. Dubbed Rocket Health, the venture was met with some skepticism from some funders and stakeholders but its strategy to bring to people’s doorsteps is narrowing the gap between doctor and patient. As Ernest Jjingo writes, telemedicine could be the much-awaited innovation in the healthcare sector.
DEVELOPING THE IDEA
Dr Davis Musinguzi, the founder and managing director of The Medical Concierge Group (TMGG)/Rocket Health which undertakes telemedicine services, says telemedicine involves the use of information, communication technologies and smart medical devices to deliver healthcare to patients at a remote location.
