A Couple Of Open Tech Roles in Nigeria

Ugochukwu Nnadi
3 min readJul 6, 2021

I’m trying my hands out at freelance recruiting for tech roles(👇) in Nigeria. I figured it would be interesting to get the recruiter perspective for a change, having hitherto only ever been an applicant myself. I also felt it could potentially be highly rewarding if I got a hang of it and did a great job at it.

To this end, I took advantage of an opportunity to join TalentQL’s talent sourcing community. Here, I get access to a list of open tech roles in Nigeria (mostly remote), and as it works in freelance recruitment, get a share of the “success fee” for recommending qualified candidates for open roles.

in the Success Fee model, the client company only pays a commission for the recruiter or headhunter when they actually hire an employee found through a recruitment or headhunting company.

I hope it goes well, but look forward to a successful learning experience anyhow. See below 👇 the list of open roles. If you qualify and are interested in any of the roles, please fill out this form, specifying the role you wish to apply for, and right at the bottom of the form in the Name of Referral field, my name (Ugochukwu Nnadi)😊.

Thanks 🙏
