Nigeria’s #1 platform for hiring vetted Social Media Managers.

Hiring the right Social Media Manager isn’t as simple as posting a job ad, browsing Upwork, or being wowed by a shiny personal brand on Instagram. Many founders learn the hard way that a polished profile doesn’t equal real skill. Too often, businesses waste time and money on hires who look good on paper but can’t deliver because there’s no proper way to test for the skills and reliability that actually matter in social media. At April30, we live and breathe this industry. We know what works, what doesn’t, and what makes an SMM truly effective—far beyond what a general HR team or freelancer platform could screen for. Whether you choose Full-Time SMM Placement for an in-house hire or April30 Social Media Manager for a vetted SMM from our team, you get talent selected with real expertise.

We work with businesses of all sizes across various industries. Whether you’re a small startup or an established company, we assign the most suitable talent to get you the results you need.

Full-Time SMM Placement: We run a full recruitment process for you — job ads, tests, references — and deliver a shortlist so you can hire your own full-time employee. After hiring, you manage them directly like any other staff member. Get an April30 Social Media Manager: We skip the recruitment process by assigning someone from our vetted pool of experienced SMMs. You work directly with them, while we handle quality checks, support, and replacements if needed.

Full-Time SMM Placement: You manage your hire directly. Daily comms, tasks, and approvals happen between your team and your employee. April30 Social Media Manager: You’ll work day-to-day with the assigned SMM. April30’s project manager checks in for quality and steps in quickly if there’s any issue. On-demand Marketing Specialists: You’ll communicate with the specialist on the project; April30 oversees quality and delivery.

Full-Time SMM Placement: Yes. We deliver a vetted shortlist and you choose who to hire after a culture-fit interview. April30 Social Media Manager: We assign a best-fit SMM from our team so you can start fast. If the fit isn’t right, we replace quickly at no extra cost.
