Applicant Tracking System (ATS) for Lagos Companies

Companies in Lagos, Nigeria can run their whole hiring process on Pitch N Hire's applicant tracking system — job posting, a branded careers page, resume parsing, interview scheduling, scorecards and team collaboration — with a free-forever plan for one user. It works anywhere on the web, so a Lagos team can manage local and offshore hiring from one place.

Applicant Tracking System (ATS): how it works for Lagos teams

An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software a team uses to manage hiring end-to-end: posting jobs to boards and a branded careers page, collecting and parsing applications, moving candidates through pipeline stages, scheduling interviews, capturing structured scorecards, and collaborating on decisions. Pitch N Hire's ATS (its 'Operate' product) does all of this in the browser, with a free-forever tier for a single user and paid plans as a team grows. Because it is web-based it serves companies anywhere — a team can run its local recruitment and any offshore hiring from the same system, with reporting on time-to-fill and source performance so the process stays measurable rather than run over email and spreadsheets.

  • Job posting + branded careers page + resume parsing
  • Pipeline stages, interview scheduling and scorecards
  • Team collaboration + hiring analytics (time-to-fill, sources)
  • Free-forever plan for one user; scales with the team
  • Web-based — manage local and offshore hiring together
  • Replaces email + spreadsheets with one measurable system

The Lagos hiring market for this role

Lagos is the commercial and technology capital of Nigeria and the beating heart of African tech, home to the fintech ecosystem that produced payments companies such as Flutterwave and Paystack and a dense cluster of startups, venture funds and engineering hubs like Yaba. Demand for backend, mobile and payments engineers is fierce, and because many developers work remotely for overseas firms, local employers compete hard on pay, growth and speed of hiring.

Lagos talent runs deep in fintech and payments engineering, backend (Node.js, Python, Go), mobile and product, with a large self-taught and bootcamp-trained cohort alongside university graduates. Many senior engineers already work remote-first for international employers, which raises the bar and the price for local hires — so Lagos companies value fast, structured recruitment and, at times, offshore capacity to keep delivery on track.

Cost & the offshore option in Lagos

Lagos commands Nigeria's highest developer pay, and senior remote engineers are frequently paid in US dollars to match international remote offers, while mid-level local salaries often fall in the region of ₦6m–₦18m a year depending on skill and employer. To manage blended cost or add niche skills quickly, some Lagos teams pair local hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced through PNH.

For Lagos founders scaling delivery, PNH can supply an offshore pod alongside local recruitment: vetted India-based engineers employed through its Employer of Record, working with strong daily overlap to WAT — India runs about four and a half hours ahead, so mornings in Lagos meet afternoons in India — expanding capacity without adding to premium local salary budgets.

Ways to work with Pitch N Hire in Lagos

You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Lagos team's stage and workload — and mix them as you scale:

Staff augmentation — Add individual vetted engineers to your existing team under your direction — the fastest way to close a specific skills or capacity gap.
Dedicated offshore team — Stand up a full managed pod from India for a whole workstream, with the roles, seniority and structure you specify.
Contract / project capacity — Bring on flexible talent for a fixed scope or period, then scale down cleanly when the work is done — no permanent headcount.
Recruitment / RPO — Have PNH run sourcing, screening and shortlisting for roles you want based locally in Lagos.
Employer of Record — Employ your India-based hires compliantly through PNH, with payroll, tax and benefits handled end-to-end.

Why Lagos companies choose Pitch N Hire

Vetted talent, fast

A pre-screened India talent pool means matched shortlists in days, not the months a local permanent hire can take.

You stay in control

You interview and choose every person; Pitch N Hire surfaces qualified candidates and handles the operational load.

Compliance handled

Offshore hires are employed through PNH's India Employer of Record — payroll, tax and statutory compliance are taken care of.

Lower blended cost

Building part of your team offshore keeps comparable seniority on the roster at a lower total cost than local-only hiring.

Overlapping hours

Engineers work on overlapping working hours and inside your tools and sprints — collaboration, not black-box outsourcing.

One partner, many needs

Staffing, recruitment, EOR and the ATS/interview software come from one provider, so hiring stays joined-up as you scale.

How much does applicant tracking system (ats) in Lagos cost? +

Are the candidates vetted before they reach my Lagos team? +
Yes. Every candidate Pitch N Hire puts forward for a Lagos company is pre-screened for skills, experience and communication, and assessed with structured interviews — so your shortlist is genuinely qualified and you keep the final hiring decision.
Can I hire a whole team or just one person in Lagos? +

How does time-zone collaboration work with an offshore Lagos team? +
Pitch N Hire structures offshore engagements around a daily working-hour overlap with your Lagos team, plus clear async handoffs for the rest of the day. Engineers join your standups, tools and code review under your direction, so it feels like an extension of your team rather than a hand-off to a separate vendor.
What if an augmented Lagos hire isn't the right fit? +
You interview and approve every person, which keeps the fit-rate high — but if someone isn't working out, Pitch N Hire replaces them quickly from its vetted pool and manages the transition, so your Lagos team's delivery keeps moving.
