You might have caught wind of the rumours that Fuzu Uganda will be shutting down operations in Uganda. According to an inside source at the company, Fuzu is set to rebrand in Uganda in two weeks with some new possible changes to its platform.
The announcement that Fuzu is set to rebrand in Uganda
The revamp that is coming soon was announced through the company’s social media page on Facebook which showed “Say bye-bye to old Fuzu Something new is coming…” However, this could have been mistaken for an announcement that the online human resource platform was closing shop and shutting down operations in Uganda. The new changes that will be coming soon have not yet been communicated and we can only wait to see what the online career platform has in store for users.

A comment from the inside source indicates that the company is not actually shutting down and is only planning on rebranding soon. The announcement might have implied that this was the end of Fuzu Uganda but that’s not the case at all as Fuzu is set to rebrand in Uganda.
Fuzu Limited is an online recruitment company that aims at career development by matching job seekers with employers/companies that are ready to hire. In addition, it uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to recommend and match job seekers with their particular set of skills to the jobs best suited for them.
It officially launched its operations in Uganda in May 2018 in collaboration with partners like Microsoft, KCCA, MUBS, ICTAU, SafeBoda, Mercy Corps and Liquid Telekom. The company has helped over 2.8 million users in East Africa grow in terms of career development and hundreds of employers find much-needed talent.
The company has made notable strides in its growth. In the same year of its launch in Uganda, it hit to 500,000 users on its platform and was named one of the Tallt 100 global innovators. This immense growth combined with a set of achievements is no shock as to why Fuzu is set to rebrand in Uganda.
