About Fuzu
It is never easy to find one's place and path in the career jungle. It is equally difficult for companies to find and nurture talent. The idea of Fuzu stems from this pain. Our ambition is to help people embark on meaningful careers and to help them at every turn. Allowing them to unleash their full potential. Similarly, we help companies to find and retain talent by providing them with tools that significantly save time and effort in talent management. Fuzu Limited launched the Fuzu service in Kenya in 2015. Fuzu combines the strengths of the world-renowned Finnish education and innovation systems with deep understanding of the end-user, their needs and aspirations in the African context. Fuzu aims to change the landscape of job search and recruitment by turning hopeless job-hunting into an ever inspiring journey of self-discovery.
