About Company:

Worknigeria was established with a Singular Vision. To help the vast Nigerian workforce find meaningful jobs. We are also on a mission to upskill them in the best ways possible and help them grow with and within their careers.

Job Description:

Are you a people-focused professional who loves creating smooth, efficient processes? We are looking for a dedicated HR Generalist to join our team.

In this role, you will be the heartbeat of our HR operations. You won’t just be pushing paperwork; you will be the go-to person for our employees, a partner to our managers, and a key player in ensuring our company operates fairly, safely, and efficiently. If you enjoy a mix of recruitment, employee relations, and HR-legal compliance, we would love to have you on board.

Requirements:

Talent Acquisition & Onboarding You will manage the entire hiring process—from the moment a vacancy opens until the new hire is settled in. This includes writing job descriptions, posting ads, screening candidates, and conducting interviews. You will work closely with hiring managers to ensure we are finding the right talent and providing them with a great start at the company.

Employee Relations & Engagement You will be the primary contact for our employees. Whether someone has a query, a grievance, or a conflict, you will handle it with empathy and professional judgment. We want you to champion our company culture by supporting initiatives that boost employee happiness, retention, and engagement.

Performance & Growth You will help us nurture talent. This involves tracking performance goals, organizing mid-year and annual reviews, and guiding managers on how to conduct effective feedback sessions. You will also identify where our team needs to improve, coordinating training programs to help everyone reach their full potential.

HR Operations & Administration You will keep our records clean and accurate. This means managing employee databases, handling payroll support, tracking leaves, and coordinating benefits. You will also prepare regular reports on things like staff turnover and recruitment metrics to help leadership make informed decisions.

Compliance & HR-Legal Collaboration This is a key part of your role. You will ensure that everything we do is in line with Nigerian labor laws and internal company policies. You will work closely with our Legal team on employee contracts, disciplinary procedures, and workplace safety. You will help us stay audit-ready by keeping our handbooks updated and ensuring we are always following best practices regarding data privacy and employment standards.

• Education: You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Industrial Relations, Business Administration, Psychology, or a related field.
