Tezera vs MyJobMag: Which one is actually built for hiring?
MyJobMag is one of Nigeria's established job boards — strong reach, well-known in the market, used by businesses across sectors. If you've ever hired in Nigeria, you've probably either posted on MyJobMag or seen jobs there. Tezera is also built for Nigerian teams. So when both options are available, what's the actual difference?
The honest answer is the same shape as with any job board: getting applications and turning them into hires are two different problems. MyJobMag is good at the first. Tezera handles the second. Here's how they compare.
Primary function
Hiring workflow end to end
Job posting and distribution in Nigeria
Job boards are designed to do one thing well: connect employers and job seekers. MyJobMag does this with strong Nigerian reach. You'll get applications, often in volume.
What you won't get is a hiring workflow. Application processing, AI screening, assessments, interview scheduling, branded application pages — these aren't what a job board is designed for, and MyJobMag is no exception. Once applications arrive, the work happens in your email and a spreadsheet.
Tezera was built for exactly that gap.
Cost to post
Free
Free and paid tiers
Both tools handle cost to post, just at different depths. MyJobMag: free and paid tiers. Tezera: free — sized to the volume small teams actually run.
AI assistance
Custom hiring AI that helps you define your ideal candidate
Limited
MyJobMag brings limited to this. Tezera takes a different shape: custom hiring AI that helps you define your ideal candidate. Which one fits depends on whether your hiring looks more like the first or the second.
Processing applications
Built-in. Review, rank, and shortlist inside the platform
Applications via email or platform; sorting is manual
On processing applications, the two tools split. Tezera ships built-in. Review, rank, and shortlist inside the platform. MyJobMag offers applications via email or platform; sorting is manual. Different bets for different teams.
Assessments
Timed and webcam assessments built in
Not native
MyJobMag doesn't really touch assessments — Tezera does assessments natively: timed and webcam assessments built in.
Interview management
Schedule and reschedule directly
Not supported
Tezera handles interview management natively — schedule and reschedule directly. MyJobMag: not supported, which usually means the work either doesn't happen or moves to another tool you stitch in yourself.
Branded application page
Your brand, front and centre
MyJobMag-styled listings
On MyJobMag, your role appears alongside many others, formatted in the platform's style. There's room for your logo and basic info, but not for the kind of brand experience that helps a small business stand out.
Tezera puts your brand front and centre, turning the application page into a real first impression.
MyJobMag is a useful job board with established reach in the Nigerian market. Use it to get your role in front of candidates.
For everything that happens after the applications arrive — sorting, assessing, scheduling, deciding — Tezera is the tool built for the job.
Use MyJobMag to reach candidates. Use Tezera to hire them well.
