01
Supply
Finding qualified talent is difficult.
Global teams face a deficit of 40M skilled professionals. Hiring locally costs 50%+ more than the offshore equivalent — but only if you can find people you trust.
Hire high-performing Nigerian professionals across the functions your business needs — verified, matched and managed by Mentord.

The Problem
02
Trust
Remote hiring carries identity risk.
Identity, experience and candidate-integrity risks are real. Most companies have no reliable way to confirm who they hired — or who actually shows up to do the work.
03
Operations
Hiring is only the beginning.
Contracts, payroll, onboarding and performance create an operational tail that founders end up stitching together across five different vendors.
The Solution
Verify. Hire. Manage.

The Differentiator
Mentord Verified™ is a technology-enabled verification layer inside our recruitment workflow. It ties one confirmed identity to every stage — so the candidate who applies is the candidate who is assessed, interviewed and deployed.
Verification reduces hiring risk — we don't claim it makes hiring fraud-proof.
01
Identity
PENDINGGovernment ID + face verification
A government-issued ID is matched against a live face capture, establishing the identity every later stage is tied back to.
02
Experience
PENDINGCV, LinkedIn & history cross-checked
Employment history, credentials and public profiles are cross-referenced for consistency with what the candidate has claimed.
03
Skills
PENDINGAssessment tied to verified identity
Role-specific assessment and take-home work are executed under the verified identity — not by an unnamed proxy.
04
Interview
PENDINGSame person, confirmed at client interview
The person who appears at your interview is confirmed to be the same person who was assessed.
05
Deployment
PENDINGFinal check before day one
A final confirmation runs before the first day, closing the gap between offer accepted and work begun.
Talent
AI-native is a quality standard across every category — not a restriction to technical roles.
AI-Native
Mentord prioritises professionals who already use AI tools and agents to improve productivity, decision-making and execution — an executive assistant who automates her own reporting, a support lead who builds his own deflection workflows.
We assess for it in every category. It is a required standard, not an optional extra reserved for engineers.

The network
Working with Tingo AI through Mentord has been an incredible journey. After a smooth interview and selection process, I officially joined the team on September 19. Since then, it's been a fast-paced, challenging, yet highly rewarding experience. My role aligns closely with the company's core objectives, and within the first few weeks and month, we successfully deployed several key tasks including integrating the Tingo AI news API and transitioning to Nigerian-accent voice models, which led to the adoption of our new MCP system.
It's been great working with Shepherd Learn so far. As a Frontend Developer, I focus on building and refining pages to be pixel-perfect, responsive, and user-friendly. The role has helped me improve my attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and ability to translate designs into polished products. I'm grateful for the opportunity through Mentord because it has given me valuable industry experience and helped me grow professionally.
My experience with Mentord has been very positive. The interview process was welcoming, and the technical session was quite in-depth, helping them understand my strengths and match me with the right clients. Since joining, they've been hands-on and actively monitoring my progress in the role.
Working with Mentord has been awesome — the guidance was clear, the community felt supportive, and it fast-tracked my growth. I've gained skill dominance, prowess, and landed a role I love. Truly a game-changer.
