Estrada International Staffing Solutions isn't just a company — it's the realization of a bold dream.
We began as a niche recruitment firm, helping reputable brands solve critical hiring needs. Our team was small, but our results were mighty. Every placement was more than a hire — it was a story of aligned interest, positive connection and impact.
In 2021, a seed of transformation was planted. By January 2023, Estrada evolved into a full-service HR consulting firm, offering a broader spectrum of people-focused solutions — from recruitment to strategic workforce development.
Today, we are proud to be more than talent matchmakers. We are growth partners, working side-by-side with organizations across industries — multinationals, indigenous SMEs, and ambitious startups — to build teams, cultures, and systems that thrive.
Our goal is clear:
To build a global HR firm. But we know we can't do it alone. We're looking to partner with visionary individuals and organizations ready to invest in people, drive change, and lead with purpose.
At Estrada, we believe in:
● Excellence as a Standard
● Relationships that Matter
● Adaptability in a Changing World
Our track record of successful partnerships and our commitment to continuous improvement are what set us apart.
So, whether you're looking to hire, train, or transform your team, consider us your gateway to a world of boundless HR opportunities.

By combining global expertise with local insight, we ensure compliance, inclusivity, and sustainable workforce practices across diverse markets.
Our mission is to build trust, drive growth, and shape the future of work by consistently championing excellence in Human Capital Solutions.
Our legal function is not a "department of no"—it is a strategic partner that ensures we move fast, stay protected, and build bulletproof partnerships.
How You'll Make an ImpactWe are looking for a Legal Officer who has "startup DNA." Unlike a traditional law firm, you will be embedded in the business, supporting 20+ client meetings monthly and ensuring our contract cycle time is industry-leading. You will be the guardian of our Service Level Agreements (SLAs), ensuring 100% accuracy and compliance while maintaining a lightning-fast turnaround time of less than 24 hours. If you are a collaborative, tech-savvy lawyer who loves building frameworks and navigating risk in a high-growth environment, this is your role.
What You'll Do-
Contract Management: Draft, review, and manage the lifecycle of all commercial contracts, ensuring 100% accuracy and protection.
-
Corporate Governance: Act as the primary point for due diligence, risk reporting, and regulatory compliance.
-
Legal Advisory: Provide real-time counsel to internal stakeholders to avoid disputes and manage litigation efficiently.
-
Onboarding Support: Participate in client onboarding meetings to ensure legal alignment from the very first touchpoint.
-
Academic Qualification (Mandatory): Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) from a recognized university.
-
Professional (Mandatory): Barrister-at-Law (B.L) and a member of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
-
Experience: Minimum 2 years in a corporate startup environment. We are specifically not looking for legal consulting/law firm backgrounds—you must be comfortable being an in-house generalist.
-
Speed & Precision: Ability to maintain a 24-hour TAT for document reviews without sacrificing quality.
-
Tech Savvy: Expert in collaborative tools (Google Drive, CRM) for legal document management.
-
Analytical Mindset: A researcher at heart who can translate complex laws into simple business SOPs.
