Insight

Inside Our Recruitment Engine

A look at the intake, sourcing, assessment and verification process behind fast recruitment delivery in Nigeria — and how to copy it internally.

Avant Tech Nigeria team collaborating in the Lagos office

1. Intake in one session

We agree the scorecard, must-haves, salary band, interview panel and decision dates before a single CV moves. Most delays trace back to a brief that was never truly agreed.

2. Parallel sourcing

Active pipeline, referral network and targeted outreach run at the same time, not in sequence. Role family templates mean sourcing starts the same day the brief is signed.

3. Structured screening

Every candidate is assessed against the same scorecard, so shortlist debates are about evidence rather than impressions.

4. Verification from shortlist, not after offer

Identity, NYSC, guarantor, employment history and academic checks begin while interviews are still running. By the time you want to make an offer, the verification pack is already in front of you.

5. One status view

Client and delivery team look at the same pipeline. No status meetings needed to find out where a candidate is.

6. Offer support

We manage the offer conversation, counter-offer risk and resignation timeline, because a signed offer is not a start date.

What you can copy today

  • Write the scorecard before sourcing
  • Fix interview slots in advance rather than scheduling per candidate
  • Start verification at shortlist
  • Give one person end-to-end accountability for the role
