Hiring in Benin City: what to know
Rain and flooded roads
Some roads flood after heavy rain in the rainy season. Agree with live-out staff what happens when roads are impassable, and whether lateness caused by flooding is excused.
Commutes across the city
A live-out worker coming from the other side of the city may cross the busy centre twice a day. Ask where applicants live and agree start and finish times that work.
Be clear about live-in terms
Every job post says whether the job is live-in or live-out. A live-in job must provide accommodation and feeding, so describe the room, the meals and the days off. Clear terms at the start prevent most disagreements later.
You can post a job for any part of Benin City, for example GRA, Ugbowo, Uselu, Ikpoba Hill, Sapele Road, Airport Road, Ekenwan Road, Oka or Uwasota. Name your area (for example "GRA" or "Ugbowo") rather than just "Benin City", so applicants can judge the journey.
