Organization Guide

Get verified, post jobs and hire with your team. Mthandizi sorts the applicants; your people decide.

Get started

1

Get verified

Open Settings, then Verification, and tell us how we can confirm your organization: your official website or email address, a registry such as the NGO Board or CONGOMA, or a document such as your certificate of registration. Our team checks it, and the result shows on the same page.

Tip: Until your organization is approved, posting and some tools stay locked.

2

Add your team

Open Settings, then Team, and add colleagues by the email they signed up with. They need a Mthandizi account first, and each person works with their own login.

3

Give each person a role

Viewers can look but not change anything. Editors post and review applicants. Admins also manage settings, the plan and the team. Owners can do everything, including changing other owners.

Post a job

1

Write the job

Open Recruitment, then Post a job. Add the title, district, closing date and description.

Tip: Applications stay open until the end of the closing date, Malawi time.

2

Choose how people apply

Here on Mthandizi, so applicants arrive in your Recruitment pipeline; by email, to an address you choose; or through a link to your own website or form.

3

Ask what matters

Turn on Screening Questions to ask your own questions before someone can submit, and mark the ones that are must-haves.

4

Keep applications light

Applicants send a CV and answer your questions. Mthandizi does not collect certificates or transcripts: you check originals at interview.

Review applicants

1

Mthandizi sorts, your people decide

Turn on AI Candidate Ranking for a job and Mthandizi scores each CV against the role and shows the stronger fits first. The score is a suggestion: nobody is rejected automatically, and every decision is made by someone on your team.

2

Move people through the stages

New, Under review, Shortlisted, Interview, Assessment, Offer and Hired. Invite someone to an interview, keep notes only your team can see, and reject one or several applicants at once.

3

Export to a spreadsheet

Export CSV, above the list of applicants, downloads the list on screen, for one job or all of them and for the stage you picked, ready to open in Excel.

4

Find candidates

Recruitment, then Talent search, finds people who chose to be visible to verified organizations. You see their headline, skills, experience and education, never their email or phone, and you can invite someone to apply for a job that is still open.

Tip: Talent search is part of the Recruiter and Enterprise plans.

Ask the Assistant

1

Draft a post in plain words

Describe a job, scholarship, event, tender or notice, or paste a link to an advert, and the Assistant drafts the post for you to check and publish.

2

Ask about your numbers

How many people applied this week, which districts your applicants come from, and which posts reach the most people.

3

Nothing changes without you

When the Assistant suggests a change, such as moving an applicant, scheduling an interview or closing a filled job, it shows a card and waits for you to confirm.

Run an event

1

Take registrations

Post an event, then switch on Registration on Mthandizi in its Details step. People register with their Mthandizi account, and you set the seats; when they are taken, people join a waiting list and move up when someone cannot come.

2

Share the link with registered people only

Put the meeting link, passcode or directions in Details for registered people only. Only people with a seat see them; the day before, each person is asked whether they are still coming, so free seats go to the waiting list.

3

See who registered

Open Posts, then Registrations: who registered and who is waiting, a download and a printable list. You see a person’s phone number only if they tick the box to share it with you.

4

Check people in and report attendance

With Enterprise or the events add-on, tick who arrived at the door or afterwards, and ask for sex and age band (each person may answer Prefer not to say). The attendance report counts them for your donors.

Stay in control

1

Require two-factor sign-in

Open Settings, then Security. Each person can turn on two-factor sign-in with an authenticator app, and an owner who uses it can require it for every member of the team.

2

Approve posts before they go live

On the same page, turn on approvals: posts by editors then wait for an owner or admin to approve them, and Posts shows them as Waiting for approval.

3

See who did what

Settings, then Activity, lists changes to your team, settings, posts, applicants and candidates, and every download, with who made each one and when. Owners and admins can see it and download it.

4

Choose whether you are listed

Settings, then General. Listed puts your organization in the directory, search and AI answers; Not listed leaves it out. Your posts still show your name and Verified mark.

5

Download your data

On the same page, Download your organization's data saves your profile, posts and applicants as one file. Owners and admins can do this.

6

Find anything fast

Press Ctrl K (⌘K on a Mac), or the search button at the top, to jump to an applicant, a post or a page.
