Nigeria
Lagos and the major urban centres offer the region’s largest pool of graduates and tradespeople. It is our main volume source for technical and healthcare roles.
Our recruitment regions
Eight countries across West and Central Africa.
English- and French-speaking talent pools where our teams hold long-standing networks.
Where we recruit
Each country answers a different need: volume, specialisation, working language.
Ghana
A stable, qualified workforce, particularly strong in healthcare, hospitality and technical trades. Solid vocational training and good command of English.
Côte d’Ivoire
The region’s largest francophone economy. A deep pool in construction, food processing and logistics, with Abidjan as the main training and recruitment hub.
Senegal
Sound vocational training and a long tradition of international mobility. Strong profiles in healthcare, hospitality and catering trades.
Benin
A strategic French-speaking pool. A direct advantage for francophone employers and for minority French-speaking communities working to sustain their linguistic vitality.
Togo
French-speaking candidates highly motivated to relocate, well represented in agriculture, transport and manual trades. A strong work culture and realistic salary expectations.
Cameroon
An officially bilingual English-French country. A rare profile, especially useful for designated bilingual communities and employers serving clients in both languages.
Gabon
A Central African francophone pool geared towards technical and industrial trades. A smaller population, but candidates who often already have industrial experience.
And beyond
Our core networks cover these eight countries, but we can assess other regions of the world depending on the profile your employers need.
