Recruiting in Nigeria

Nigeria has become a hot spot for professionals with the skills and experience to contribute to areas such as software and app development, AI and machine learning, data analysis, cloud computing, fintech, and cybersecurity.

Nigeria’s strong oil & gas industry employs experienced field service engineers, safety technicians, and other related professionals. Roles in renewable energy and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) areas are growing. NGOs frequently recruit in Nigeria for regional roles such as logistics coordinators, international development specialists, and humanitarian officers.

Due to the Nigerian workforce’s high rate of English proficiency, companies also frequently hire for customer-facing business process outsourcing (BPO) roles in the region, including in chat support, call center support, and virtual assistance. Business roles such as management consultants, auditors, and accountants are also popularly outsourced to Nigeria, and companies that hire remote workers may turn to Nigeria for digital marketing, UX design, and other creative roles.

Our Global Recruitment product, used as a stand-alone solution or integrated with our EOR, allows organizations to quickly find the skills and experience they need, wherever they need them. With local HR experts in locations around the globe and the ability to hire in 187 countries, Safeguard Global is perfectly positioned to help you achieve your recruiting goals on your timeline.
