Nigerian hiring funnel - what to expect
A typical published mid-level tech role in Nigeria receives 200-500 applications. Only 10-15% pass initial CV screen. 25-40% of screened candidates get a first-round interview. Around 20-30% of interviewed candidates get final-stage. 1-3 get an offer. Those aren't demoralising numbers - they're just physics. Adjust your strategy accordingly: apply to more roles, work every referral, and remember that CV screen filters more on presentation than substance.
