Q3 2026 Uganda STEM Jobs Report: Who’s Hiring
A Broad Field of Employers, and a Newcomer That Posted 35 Roles in One Day A closer look at Uganda's STEM fields in Q3 2026
Excluding recruitment intermediaries, 260 employers were published via 705 postings on JobHunter Ug in Q3 2026, compared with 270 employers in Q2. The three intermediaries (TrueNorth Africa, Aldelia and Worldwide Recruitment Solutions) registered a further 33 roles on behalf of unnamed clients.
That figure matches Q2, but the mix flipped: TrueNorth Africa rose to 22 from 6, while Aldelia fell to 10 from 21. These 33 are counted in the 738 total posted this quarter, which is the volume figure used in our Trending Jobs analysis, and are left out of the employer rankings.
