Who we look for

We understand that this is an important period in your life. This may be your first job, or perhaps you are thinking of switching jobs. It is also possible that you are thinking of changing careers. Maybe you are even thinking of moving back to Nigeria. We know that it is easy to get nervous when applying for a job. We have all passed that route before. Always remember that we are the ones that initiated the recruitment process because we need qualified candidates like you for us to continue our growth and leadership. Throughout the recruitment process, you will be at the centre of events so never forget that you are important to us. Without you, this whole process would not exist.

TransCorp is looking for individuals with three core qualities:

• Willingness to succeed as part of a team
• Ability to learn and develop fast
• Ability to handle responsibility with good judgment and maturity.

When new staff joins us, they are often surprised at the confidence that senior colleagues and management place in them. From early on in one’s career at TransCorp, you will be assigned significant responsibilities. At first, this can be a bit overwhelming. Most take to their new roles as fish to water; others require a little guidance and nudging to pick the pace. What matters is that everyone here wants to succeed, at a personal level, and also wants everyone else to succeed, at the team level. In fact, the success of the team will determine the success of the individual here.

But beyond abilities, our ideal candidate has a sterling character. The road to a worthy character is a lifelong one. We expect our candidates to have already made the choice to follow it and to be advanced in that journey by the time they apply to work here. Character is not learned in the four walls of a classroom but in the school of life through the lessons we learn and the choices we make. Character may require accepting responsibility for your failures instead of making excuses, it may require sacrifice instead of comfort, it may require humility and modesty instead of the urge to gain accolades all the time. At TransCorp, we believe that what sets us apart are our goals. We will not reach them simply because we are smarter and more hardworking. Instead we will reach them because we have the right goals and will reach them the right way. We want the right people to get there with us.
