A former Moniepoint employee has raised fresh concerns about the company’s hiring process and internal operations, following recent comments about a shortage of qualified candidates in Nigeria’s job market.
The ex-staff member, identified as @MrOlibaba on X (formerly Twitter), questioned the company’s recruitment standards, arguing that they appear inconsistent compared to traditional banks that hire regularly without reporting similar talent shortages.
He said:
“Is Moniepoint any better than commercial banks that recruit year in year out? None have complained of inexperienced workforce.”
He also alleged irregularities in the hiring process, claiming that a friend was initially rejected after reaching the third stage of an interview, only to receive another invitation days later for the same stage.
“A friend was rejected after doing the third stage interview with Moniepoint, one week later they sent him a mail inviting him for the same interview they rejected him at third stage. Such a disorganized hiring process,” he added.
The comments come shortly after Moniepoint’s CEO disclosed that the company is struggling to fill about 500 job vacancies due to a shortage of candidates meeting global standards in Nigeria.
The former employee also shared his personal experience at the firm, saying he worked there for three months before resigning and would not include the role on his CV.
“I did three months with Moniepoint and resigned… I’m not proud enough to have it on my CV,” he wrote.
He further criticised what he described as weak employee welfare and a workplace culture that, according to him, does not reflect the company’s public image.
