15 Years of Evolving Excellence: From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders.

“Been There, Done That!” You have probably heard it a million times from someone proudly stating they've accomplished something significant. But what about “Been There, Still Here”? What does that stand for? It represents resilience, commitment, and staying power. It is a reminder that while achieving something is great, maintaining excellence and continually evolving is the true mark of success.

At Jobberman Nigeria, this phrase resonates deeply with us. As we celebrate 15 years of shaping careers and connecting talent with opportunities, we are proud to say, “Been There, Still Here”, and we’re just getting started.

August 2024 marks a significant milestone for Jobberman Nigeria as we celebrate 15 years of transforming recruitment in Nigeria. What began as a simple vision to connect job seekers with opportunities has blossomed into the country’s leading talent marketplace. This anniversary isn’t just about the years—it’s about the thousands of lives we have impacted, the clients we have empowered, and the industries we have revolutionised.

Let us take a moment to reflect on where we started, what we have achieved, and where we are headed.

Where We Came From

Our journey has been defined by unwavering dedication to our mission: to be the go-to company for all human resource and recruitment needs, and our vision to be Nigeria’s most user-centric and transparent career ecosystem, connecting the right candidates with the right opportunities.?

From those humble beginnings, we have grown into a trusted partner for millions. Each year, many people rely on us for professional advancement, skills-building, and job placements. We’ve always believed that Nigerian talent is world-class and deserving of better access to opportunities. This belief has propelled us forward, expanding our services from job listings to skills training, career guidance, and premium recruitment solutions.
