A growing market for remote student work
Remote internships have grown steadily in Nigeria as more companies embrace flexible work models and digital recruitment.
For students who need exposure but lack the resources to relocate or take on full-time placements, a remote option helps bridge the gap between classroom theory and workplace reality.
This internship sits right in that space, giving participants a structured path into HR tech, startup hiring, and global recruitment workflows.
According to details from a similar listing by Sourcing Sprints, accepted interns work roughly fifteen hours weekly, supporting recruiters who source candidates for distributed teams around the world.
The role blends research, communication, digital tools, and light administrative tasks, skills that transfer easily into many modern careers.
What interns stand to gain
Participants earn 200 dollars monthly with the possibility of an additional 500 dollars tied to performance or successful candidate sourcing.
The internship is fully remote and allows students to work from anywhere in the country as long as they have a working laptop and stable internet.
Other benefits include flexible scheduling, exposure to international hiring processes, and the chance to learn professional communication in a remote environment.
Students also get to see how recruitment pipelines operate from first contact to hiring decisions, a practical advantage for anyone interested in HR, talent acquisition, tech startups, or freelance sourcing.
Who can apply
The opportunity is open to students currently enrolled in Nigerian tertiary institutions.
Applicants must be able to commit to part-time remote work while studying, manage basic digital tasks and communicate clearly. Some comfort with spreadsheets, sourcing tools, research platforms, or LinkedIn will help.
A working laptop and reliable internet connection are essential, as the role involves daily communication and online sourcing. Most listings also require steady weekday availability.
Duration, timeline, and deadlines
The duration varies from one listing to another, though one recent posting indicated a three-month term running from January to March 2026.
Deadlines are not uniform. For instance, an IcanStudent announcement had a closing date of November 16, 2025. Applicants are advised to follow the specific link for the current application window.
Applying without mistakes
Strong applications highlight remote readiness, availability, and motivation for talent sourcing.
Students should update their CVs, prepare a short statement explaining why the role fits their academic workload and long-term goals, and show familiarity with digital tools.
It is also wise to avoid overcommitting on hours or submitting generic applications that fail to show clear interest.
A functioning laptop and dependable internet should be confirmed before applying, since remote roles depend heavily on both. Students should also double-check deadlines and required documents to avoid missing out.

How to apply
Applicants need to visit the application link, fill out an online form with personal details, academic status, availability, and remote work readiness, then upload their CV and any required identification.
Once submitted, the inbox should be monitored for updates. Shortlisted candidates may join a remote interview where they’ll be assessed on communication, digital tool proficiency, and schedule management.
Group launches ₦100,000 grant for petty traders
Legit.ng earlier reported that housands of small-scale traders across Nigeria are set to benefit from the Petty Traders Grant Support Programme, a new financial empowerment scheme designed to uplift street vendors, market sellers, and micro-entrepreneurs struggling to access capital.
The initiative, which offers ₦10,000 to ₦100,000 in free grants, targets individuals whose livelihoods depend on petty trading, from food vendors and kiosk owners to shoe repairers, tailors, and recharge card sellers.
At the heart of the programme is a simple goal: to help Nigerians grow self-sustaining businesses without the usual hurdles of collateral, company registration, or complex paperwork.
