Why the local market first
Build credibility at home. Grow globally from there.
Our international placements are built on the same thorough vetting. Serving Lagos Island employers first lets us prove that standard every day, build a local reference base and keep the business moving while our global partner network matures.
A shorter sales cycle
Local placement moves in weeks, not quarters — revenue that keeps the business moving while international partnerships grow.
Credibility built in Lagos
Every successful placement strengthens a local reference base that our international clients and partners value too.
A natural extension
The same recruitment and vetting engine TalentX already runs, pointed at demand on our doorstep.

How it works
Introduced, not cold-called.
Lagos Island businesses and households operate in close-knit circles. We grow through community and business introductions, because a referral from someone trusted counts for more than any advertisement.
- 01
Warm introduction
We enter through community and business networks on Lagos Island rather than cold outreach — a referral from a trusted contact carries far more weight with local employers.
- 02
Brief and shortlist
We take a short brief on the role, team or site, then present a shortlist drawn from an already-screened pool.
- 03
Vetting and references
Identity, guarantor and background checks, plus prior-employer references, before anyone is put forward.
- 04
Placement and aftercare
Staff are placed on an outsourced basis, with replacement cover and follow-up after the first weeks.
Our model
You pay on a successful placement.
TalentX earns a commission or fee share on each placement we make — so our interest is in staff who stay, not CVs sent. Supply is our strength: sourcing and vetting for these roles is what we already do every day.
Start a conversationCommission based
Fee share agreed upfront, per successful placement.
Vetted candidates
ID, guarantor and reference checks as standard.
Outsourced basis
We stay accountable after day one.

From one-off hires to recurring monthly staffing.
