What We Do
Recruitment & HR solutions built for companies expanding into Nigeria
Whether you are entering Nigeria for the first time or scaling an existing team, Workfront Global Consult gives you the local expertise, networks, and operational support to hire right and move fast.
Staff Recruitment PRIMARY SERVICE
For international companies entering Nigeria, finding the right people quickly is everything. We handle the entire process — from role profiling and candidate mapping to screening, interviews, reference checks, and offer management — so you can focus on launching, not hiring.
What's included
- Job profiling and market salary benchmarking for Nigeria
- Active and passive candidate sourcing across our pan-African network
- Multi-stage screening and competency-based interviews
- Reference checks and background verification
- Offer management and candidate communication
- Post-placement support for 90 days
HR Advisory
Many international companies enter Nigeria without an HR function in place. We fill that gap — building the policies, structures, and compliance frameworks your business needs from day one, ensuring you are legally protected and operationally ready to manage people.
What's included
- HR policy development and employee handbook creation
- Nigerian labour law compliance guidance
- Organizational structure design and job grading
- Performance management system setup
- Employee relations advisory and dispute resolution
- HR audit for existing operations
Personnel Outsourcing
Not ready to set up a full employer-of-record entity in Nigeria? We deploy and manage staff on your behalf — handling all employment administration, statutory compliance, and payroll so you have boots on the ground without the legal overhead.
What's included
- Staff deployment and contract management
- Employment administration on your behalf
- Statutory contributions — PAYE, pension, NSITF
- Leave management and disciplinary support
- Monthly reporting to your team
Payroll Management
Payroll in Nigeria involves PAYE tax, pension contributions, NSITF, NHF, and other statutory obligations that can trip up companies unfamiliar with the local framework. We handle all of it — accurately, on time, and fully compliant — so your employees are paid right and your business stays protected.
What's included
- Monthly salary computation and payslip generation
- PAYE tax calculation and remittance
- Pension deduction and PFA remittance
- NSITF and NHF compliance
- Year-end tax returns support
- Strict data confidentiality
Management Consulting
Beyond hiring, we help leadership teams diagnose operational gaps, design organisational structures that scale, and build practical improvement plans grounded in how Nigerian businesses actually work. Useful for companies going through growth, restructuring, or market entry.
What's included
- Organisational effectiveness assessment
- Process mapping and workflow optimisation
- Market entry workforce planning for Nigeria
- Leadership team advisory
- Change management support
Training & Development
A new hire is only as effective as the environment they enter. We design and deliver onboarding programs, leadership workshops, and skills training tailored to your team — bridging the gap between hiring and actual performance.
What's included

- Leadership and management development
- Sector-specific skills training
- Team effectiveness workshops

Our Process
How we work with you
A straightforward five-step process — transparent at every stage, with no surprises.
Discovery Call
We start with a conversation to understand your business, the role, your timeline, and what good looks like for you.
Role Profiling
We build a detailed brief — including market salary benchmarks for Nigeria — so we attract the right candidates, not just available ones.
Candidate Search
We tap our network across Nigeria and Africa, run active searches, and screen candidates against your specific requirements.
Shortlist & Interviews
You receive a curated shortlist — typically 3 to 5 candidates — with our assessment notes. We coordinate all interviews and debrief calls.
Placement & Support
We manage the offer, handle candidate communication, and stay involved for 90 days post-placement to ensure a smooth start.
Client Feedback
What our clients say
Workfront helped us build our Nigeria sales team from scratch within three weeks of our market entry. They understood what we needed without us having to over-explain, and every candidate they brought was genuinely qualified.
We had struggled with two previous agencies before finding Workfront. The difference was clear from the first call — they asked better questions, understood our sector, and delivered a shortlist that was actually usable. Highly recommended.
As a fashion brand expanding into Nigeria, we needed people who understood our culture and could work at pace. Workfront delivered exactly that — they found us a team that hit the ground running from day one.
Common Questions

For outsourcing, advisory, and payroll, we offer monthly retainer arrangements. We are always transparent about fees before any engagement begins — contact us for a no-obligation discussion.
