I think they do. Some don't even hide it anymore as they now tag their preferred locations with the job advert. Some believe they are trying to reduce the travel time of their employees like in Lagos where there is traffic problems and most employees using that to cover their tardiness. It is not entirely bad but those unnecessary bottlenecks in a growing economy is a recipe for disaster - not rapid but cumulative and gradual because by doing that employers are already at the risk of limiting competence. Of course it is only done in a dysfunctional system like it is the fault of an applicant to live in a particular area especially when that is where they can afford 7 Likes 1 Share |

Probably yes! Some form of businesses and services require proximity as a great advantage. Some employers will even specify that they require residents to be employed. 5 Likes |

Of course. If I need someone to work in Ibadan , why would I invite an applicant living in Abuja? The person might not even be hired. 1 Like |

Yes I do. Some job hunters could be desperate for a job and not calculate how much extra it would cost them to commute to work. It becomes a problem later. Apart from having to increase transportation allowance later, which wouldn't have applied to another candidate that stays nearby, Nigeria is very stressful today and an employer wants to avoid having a stressed and disgruntled employee. 14 Likes |

Certainly A big YES Location matters and has a direct link to how effective you will be at work, leaving to far from work that will require you driving a long distance to and fro will certainly affect your productivity 1 Like |

yessooo As an employer of Labour myself with an office in Surulere, once i saw your CV stating locations in Ipaja, Ikorodu, Abule Egba, Iyana Ipaja, Alagbado, Ajah, Akowonjo, Ojo, Ikotun, Mile 12, Ojodu Berger/Alagbole and other distant locations, you will never be called for interview because once you get started with work after the initial gragra and desperation to work, natural occurrence associated with coming and going from long distance will surely occur as we are human excpet you state that you have place(s)you can relocate or stay that would be close r to the office inside your CV or body of applications. Most Nigerian youths dont think proactively in that line and see critical reasons why they are not getting enough or quality interview oppurtunities What we experience as applicants/ organisational staff in this Lagos especially is Absolutely NOT ideal or normal. How can you be staying in Ipaja/Ayobo and go work everyday in Ajah? by time you do such for 6 months, 1 year or 3 years, how you expect to remain the same and not grow old prematurely? Thats absolutely insane! But some see it as normal. Some employers dont care wherever you will be coming from. Just ensure you get to work at assigned time With me, good staff benefits, welfare and vibrancy matter in order for you to be productive But to make, man/woman must survive! 3 Likes |
