Hiring questions, answered
The questions Nigerian employers actually ask, answered straight: the short version first, the reasoning underneath, and no pretence that Tezera is the answer to all of them. Comparing tools instead? See the alternatives guides.
- What is the best AI recruitment software in Nigeria?
What AI recruitment software actually does today, and which of the four realistic options fits a Nigerian hiring team.
- How do I screen hundreds of job applications quickly?
A scorecard built before applications open, plus a cheap written first stage, turns a pile of hundreds into a defensible shortlist in a day.
- Can I use Google Forms to collect job applications?
Google Forms is a fine hiring intake for a few dozen applicants, and here is exactly where and why it stops working.
- Should I use a recruitment agency or hire myself in Nigeria?
When a Nigerian recruitment agency is worth the fee, when it is not, and how to run the search yourself without drowning in applications.
- How much does it cost to hire an employee in Nigeria?
A category-by-category breakdown of what a Nigerian hire really costs, including the screening hours nobody budgets for and the price of getting it wrong.
- How do I verify a candidate's CV is genuine in Nigeria?
How to tell whether a Nigerian candidate's CV is true, by interrogating the claims and verifying only what the hire depends on.
- Why do new hires quit in the first three months?
Early exits are made during hiring, not onboarding: undefined outcomes, an oversold ad, commute and pay surprises, and a manager with no time in week one.
- What is a hiring scorecard and how do I make one?
A one-page definition of what the hire must achieve in a year, plus the four to six criteria that predict it, written before applicants arrive.
- Is it legal to use AI to screen job applicants in Nigeria?
AI screening is legal in Nigeria under the NDPA 2023, provided you have a lawful basis, tell applicants, and keep a human making the decision.
- Does my small business need an applicant tracking system?
Not until applications outgrow your spreadsheet, which in Nigeria usually happens on the first job board post.
