Frequently asked questions

We help organisations hire and verify people, develop workforce capability, run selected outsourced operations and build custom software. Our core services include recruitment and staffing, background checks, payroll and staff management, BPO, corporate training and certification, and custom software development.

No. Our Nigeria office is in Lagos, but we deliver services across Nigeria. Field verification, workforce programmes and client delivery are designed for organisations operating across multiple states and locations.

Avant Tech Nigeria is a locally incorporated operating subsidiary that combines the wider group's international engineering and operating experience with local contracting, customer support and delivery across Nigeria. This gives clients local execution with access to broader technology and operating expertise.

Avant Tech Nigeria operates an NDPC-certified data protection practice. We apply Nigerian data-protection requirements to the personal-data workflows used in services such as background checks, recruitment and workforce operations.

Eligible instant digital checks can complete in minutes. Managed employment, education, criminal record, guarantor, due-diligence and field checks vary by source, location and service tier, so we confirm the expected turnaround for the checks you actually order.

Pricing depends on the check type, bundle and volume. You can use self-service ordering for supported checks or request volume and enterprise pricing for larger pre-employment, KYC and due-diligence programmes.

Yes. Employers can combine sourcing, assessment and role-appropriate verification in one hiring workflow, reducing handoffs between a recruitment agency and a separate screening provider.

Yes. We support permanent search, specialist and leadership hiring, contract staffing, project teams and larger recruitment programmes. The engagement model is matched to the role type, hiring volume and required speed.

Recruitment pricing varies by seniority, scarcity, volume and engagement model. We provide a written commercial proposal before work starts, including the applicable placement or project terms and any agreed replacement guarantee.

No. Employers pay for recruitment services. We do not request application, processing or placement fees from candidates; suspected impersonation or payment requests should be reported to us.

Permanent placements can carry a replacement guarantee period defined in the engagement terms. The exact guarantee depends on the assignment and is confirmed before the search begins.

Yes. We deliver customised corporate training, professional programmes, live virtual learning, blended learning and selected self-paced courses. We are an ITF-registered training provider and confirm any programme-specific accreditation or awarding pathway before enrolment.

Yes. We design and build workflow automation, internal business systems, integrations, web and mobile applications and other bespoke software. Our engineering capability is informed by the same production platforms and operational workflows we build for our own services.

Yes. Custom software engagements can include integration with existing platforms, workflow automation, API development, modernisation and targeted enhancement rather than forcing a full rebuild when one is not needed.

Yes. Our industry delivery includes banking and financial services, insurance, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, technology, communications and consumer goods, with solutions adapted to each sector's workforce, verification and operating risks.

Use the relevant self-service flow where available or send us the business outcome, roles, checks, learner group or software problem you need to solve. We will route the request to the right team and respond with the next step.

We deliver customised corporate training and professional programmes across leadership and management, project management, data and analytics, cybersecurity and AI, data privacy, digital capability, HSE, customer experience and other workforce capability needs. Programmes can be built around your organisation's actual operating environment.

We are an ITF-registered training provider. Where a programme leads to a third-party professional or compliance credential, we confirm the specific accreditation, partner authorisation and awarding pathway before enrolment rather than implying that every course carries the same certification.

Yes. Customised corporate training is a core part of our offer. We run discovery, identify the capability gap and design the curriculum around your workflows, tools, service standards and measurable business outcomes.

Yes. We design leadership, management, performance, change and team-development programmes for new managers through senior leaders, with content adapted to the organisation's operating context rather than delivered as a generic classroom course.

Yes. We deliver across Nigeria through on-site corporate sessions, live virtual cohorts, blended programmes and digital learning. Lagos is one delivery location, not the limit of our service footprint.

In-person at the client's site or our Lagos centre, live virtual cohorts, blended tracks and self-paced study through our Learning Management System are available depending on the programme.

Learners can access course materials, recorded sessions and assessments on supported devices, while managers can monitor completion and scores across their teams and retain learning evidence for internal reporting or audit needs.

Yes. Selected professional certification, exam-preparation and self-paced programmes are open to individuals. Corporate buyers can request private cohorts and customised learning paths.

Pricing depends on the subject, number of learners, delivery format, duration, customisation and certification requirements. We provide a written proposal for corporate programmes and publish self-service pricing where a standard programme supports online enrolment.

Standard programmes can typically start faster than fully customised engagements. Bespoke curricula require discovery and design before the first session; we confirm the delivery plan and timeline in the proposal.

Yes. Avant Tech Nigeria combines local delivery across Nigeria with the wider group's international operating and technology experience, which is useful for organisations that want global standards translated into the Nigerian operating context.

Choose the checks you need, tell us the role type and volume, and use self-service ordering where available or request an enterprise quote. We support one-off checks, pre-employment screening and high-volume programmes across Nigeria.

Eligible instant digital checks can complete in minutes. Employment, education, criminal record, guarantor, address, due-diligence and field checks depend on the source, location and service tier. We confirm the expected turnaround when you order rather than applying one blanket SLA to every check.

Common employer checks include identity, employment history, education and qualification, NYSC, professional licence, criminal record, address, guarantor, reference and credit checks where appropriate. The right package depends on the role, risk level and lawful purpose.

Yes. Eligible digital identity and KYC checks can be ordered through our self-service flow, while organisations that need volume screening, workflow integration or account support can use our enterprise service or verification API.

Yes. Our delivery network supports address and field verification across all thirty-six states. Lagos is our Nigeria office location, not the boundary of our delivery footprint.

Yes. Our Nigeria operation combines local delivery with the wider Avant Tech group's international experience. We can support international identity and qualification verification and coordinate directly with relevant foreign sources where the service is available.

Avant Tech Nigeria operates an NDPC-certified data protection practice. Background checks are handled with documented consent or another applicable lawful basis, defined retention controls and data-subject rights processes under the Nigeria Data Protection Act.

Yes where consent is the applicable lawful basis, and we require a documented basis for every screening programme. We help employers structure the request so the checks are relevant to the role and handled consistently with Nigerian data-protection requirements.

Requests are tracked from submission through source or field activity to completion. Enterprise clients can receive consolidated status visibility for larger screening programmes rather than chasing individual checks manually.

Address verification, guarantor verification and identity verification can be bundled for onboarding at volume. We can also tailor the mix for regulated or higher-risk customer and workforce onboarding.

A typical corporate package can include academic verification, guarantor verification, previous-employer checks and criminal record screening. We recommend the final combination based on the role and risk profile.

Enterprise screening can add credit, NYSC, professional, enhanced due-diligence and other role-specific checks to the core employment-screening package, with volume workflows and account support.

Yes. Organisations building verification into onboarding, HR, lending, risk or customer workflows can use our verification API for supported digital checks and combine it with managed verification services when human or field validation is required.
