Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nchito?

Nchito is a free job board for Zambia. We bring together job postings from across the country — Lusaka to Livingstone, Kitwe to Solwezi — into one place, so you can search everything at once instead of checking many different sites. New jobs are added every day.

What kind of jobs do you have?

A bit of everything. On any given day you'll find openings for drivers, nurses, accountants, electricians, teachers, general workers, sales assistants and plenty more — full-time, part-time, contract, internships and volunteer roles, from no-experience-needed up to senior positions.

You can filter by town, industry, job type and experience level to narrow things down to what fits you.

Which towns do you cover?

Wherever people are hiring. Lusaka and the Copperbelt — Kitwe, Ndola, Chingola, Luanshya, Chililabombwe — carry the most postings, but you'll also find jobs in Livingstone, Solwezi, Kabwe, Kalumbila, Mkushi and beyond, plus nationwide and remote roles. Use the location filter to see what's on near you.

How do I apply?

You apply directly to the employer. Every job on Nchito ends with a “How to Apply” section containing the employer's own instructions — usually an email address, sometimes a phone number or a link. Follow those instructions, mention the position you're applying for, and mind the deadline.

Nchito doesn't sit between you and the employer — your application goes straight to them.

Is there any charge?

No. Nchito is completely free for job seekers — searching, browsing, creating an account and job alerts all cost nothing.

One word of caution: no legitimate employer will ask you to pay to apply or to be shortlisted. If anyone asks you for money for a job, that is a scam.

How do you find job postings?

We continuously gather postings from job boards, company career pages and other public sources across Zambia. Then we clean each one up into a clear, consistent format and remove duplicates, so the same job doesn't appear five times under different names. The board is refreshed every day.

A job I saw is gone — what happened?

Postings come down automatically when their application deadline passes or the listing closes. If a job you had your eye on has disappeared, the window has most likely closed. Next time, save the job and try to apply well before the deadline — some employers stop reading applications early.

Do I need an account?

No — you can search and browse every job without one. A free account lets you save jobs for later, save your searches, and get email alerts when new jobs match what you're looking for.

How do I save a job for later?

Tap the bookmark on any job and it goes to your saved jobs, so you can come back and apply when you're ready. You'll need a free account for this — that's how your list follows you between visits.

How do I get job alerts?

Search for what you want — say, nursing jobs in Ndola — then switch on “Get job alerts” above the results. We'll email you when new matching jobs come in, and you can change how often or switch an alert off any time from Settings.

How do I reset my password?

On the log-in page, choose “Forgot your password?” and enter your email — we'll send you a link to set a new one. If you signed up with Google, there's no password to reset: just use “Continue with Google” as usual.

Do you have a mobile app?

Not yet — Nchito is a website, built to work well in your phone's browser, and that's how most of our job seekers use it. If you'd like it to feel more like an app, use your browser menu's “Add to Home Screen” and it'll be one tap away.

What happens to my personal information?

We use it to run the service — signing you in, saving your jobs and searches, and sending the alerts you asked for. The full detail of what we collect and why is in our Privacy Policy.

I'm an employer — can I post a job on Nchito?

Not directly yet — postings currently come from public listings we gather ourselves, so if your vacancy is published anywhere public, chances are we'll pick it up. A way for employers to post jobs on Nchito directly is in the works.
