Mediocrity once again played herself into the heart of Nigerian data analysts as jobberman released 100 place to work. As an observer with core bias for HR, I think its rather an insult not just for HR guys in Nigeria but also to the apex regulator of the HR practice that a one time IT firm now dictate the pace of noble profession. Not trying to play the devil's advocate however, I did some research on jobberman site and discovered they actually ranked those who were their regular customers in the 2016 ahead of others. In case you don't wanna believe me check their site for 2016 job. Post.

No doubt jobberman has helped recruiters solve the issue of shortlisting, but what I don't get is why should they assume HR data could be something they can just frame up for all to consume. For instance how could you explain airtel being a head of Schlumberger in terms of best place to work. its a simple logic how will airtel who pays her customer service officer N50,000 be ahead of Schlumberge who pays 200,000 for same position isnt Africans driven by cash again. . Even without any core research just ask 5 staff from those two companies you can see the loopholes.

Imagine the Parameters?
Jobberman claimed the use the following parameters
1. Job Security
2. Monthly Salary
3. Career Growth Prospects
4. Company Management
5. Work/Life Balance
6. Staff Welfare
7. Employee Relationship
8. Gender Equality
9. Organisational Structure

This to a reasonable extent is great, but I cant still fathom they want us to believe that job is more secure in GTbank (ranked 6th), FirstBank (ranked 7th) and Union Bank (ranked 8th) than in FAAN (ranked 84th) of course its obvious the IT firm turned Consulting firm is a corporate Joker to have given such data knowing fully well that one of the reasons people could work in Government agancy such as FAAN is because of security of job.

As if that was not enough, they ranked CBN 25th and made Airtel number 2nd in terms of career growth and prospect knowing fully well that those working in CBN dont leave untill they are due for retirement . let me not just bore you with too may fact.

I write this to make us disregard their data and never make this a basis for job search strategy. This is because its obviously they are in for some stunt i really dont know.May be to make those companies ranked higher patronize them. I recall sometime in 2014, I had an interview session with jobberman and the the session turned out to be an avenue for begging for HR Template which I eventually give anyway. after which I turned down their offer.

The other day a Lady called me from their office begging for Termination template and i was like dont you have HR manager?

Its just crazy HR Practices is not given proper regulation in Nigeria and the Apex body such as Chartered Institute of Personnel Management is a mare rent collecting institution.

Jobberman is not forcing the list down anyone's throat.

Our perception of companies are always going to be different, even more difficult to draw comparism between 2 companies especially when you don't work in both or cast in stone judging criteria.

I no see Baba Ijebu for that list.

Nonsense.

shell should never be above exxon in terms of remuneration, this list is disguisting
