Hi As a Nigerian professional actively embedded in the local tech ecosystem, I'm exactly the recruiter Octosteches needs on the ground here. I understand where Nigerian developers network, which communities they participate in, and how to reach both active and passive candidates through LinkedIn, local tech groups, and referrals — insight no overseas recruiter can replicate. I can source and screen engineering candidates, assess communication skills and experience fit, coordinate interviews with your US team, and maintain a clean candidate database with clear metrics throughout. I'm familiar with software engineering roles and can speak comfortably to candidates about C#, .NET, and general engineering expectations. My English communication is professional and clear, and I'm experienced working across time zones with international teams. Nigeria has incredible engineering talent — I'd love to help Octosteches find and place the best of it. What are the most urgent engineering roles you're currently hiring for?
