SLA x Jobberman BoostHer Career Fair 2026 Opens Recruitment for Employers and Recruiters
She Leads Africa (SLA), in partnership with Jobberman, has officially opened recruiter registration for the 2026 BoostHer Career & Trade Fair — a large-scale employability event designed to connect employers with over 1,500 pre-qualified female professionals across Nigeria.
The event will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at Regal Hall, Daystar Christian Centre, and serves as a strategic recruitment platform for organisations seeking skilled, ambitious, and job-ready talent.
Bridging the Talent Access Gap
According to the organisers, many employers in Nigeria struggle to hire not because talent is unavailable, but because qualified candidates often remain outside traditional recruitment channels.
The BoostHer Career & Trade Fair is designed to solve this challenge by bringing a highly concentrated pool of talented women from different sectors into one physical space, allowing employers to engage directly with candidates.
Many of the women expected at the event are not passive job seekers. They are professionals who have intentionally invested in their career growth and are actively searching for opportunities with organisations that value quality talent.
This makes the fair more than just a networking event — it is a practical hiring marketplace where recruiters can identify, assess, and recruit top candidates in real time.
