Who it's for
Solo developer or 2-person team building for Nigerian job seekers and diaspora; monetize via job boards, recruiters, or direct employer subscriptions
How to build it
1. Pick one high-volume employer hiring from Nigeria (telecom, fintech, e-commerce, or multinationals with local offices) — research their open roles, typical application volume, and pain points.
2. Build a scraper or manual feed to pull live job listings from that employer's careers page or job boards they post to; store in a simple database.
3. Add lightweight filters (location, department, salary range, experience level) and a clean job detail view so users spend <5 mins finding the right role vs 20+ mins on corporate sites.
4. Embed application tips, resume templates, or interview guides specific to that employer to increase stickiness and reduce friction.
5. Launch free for users; charge employers a subscription fee ($500–2K/mo) for branded job listings + analytics, or charge premium users ($2–5/mo) for advanced filters, alerts, and application tracking.
