Recruitment Lead at Babban Gona

• As our Recruitment Lead, you are not just filling roles. You’re shaping the future of Babban Gona. The future of agriculture. The future of work. The future of young people in Nigeria who deserve to thrive in dignified, purpose-driven jobs.
• Your eye for talent, instinct for culture fit, and obsession with timelines make you essential to our journey. You matter because how we hire is just as important as who we hire—and you’re setting the bar.

Why this role matters:

• We’re scaling fast and innovating even faster. We can’t afford hiring that lags or compromises. We need a recruiter who is both strategic and scrappy, experienced yet evolving—someone who builds pipelines before roles go live and knows how to spot potential before it becomes obvious.

You’ll manage end-to-end recruitment, drive employer brand visibility, and partner with hiring managers to build high-performing teams from the ground up.
• This role is central to our growth, our innovation, and our promise to deliver excellence at scale.

You will:

• Lead end-to-end recruitment processes for senior and niche roles.
• Develop and execute hiring strategies aligned with business objectives.
• Partner with leadership to anticipate hiring needs and plan proactively.
• Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers and senior leadership.
• Drive alignment between hiring decisions and organizational goals.
• Your work will directly influence how we serve our members better, faster, and more sustainably.

Who thrives here: Your Strength in this Field.
