Pivotage Consulting Services

Learning & Development: Pivotage designs and delivers soft skills, technical, and bespoke corporate training programmes tailored to organisational needs. Training is delivered through in-plant sessions, open-calendar workshops, and virtual course models with each developed with subject matter experts who bring direct industry experience into the classroom. Coverage spans Leadership and Management, Human Resources, Sales and Marketing, Finance and Accounting, Digital Marketing, Information Technology, Oil and Gas, Insurance, and Public Sector programmes. Engagements begin with a Training Needs Analysis to ensure every programme delivers measurable productivity and compliance outcomes.

Background Check & Verification Services (GAPCOT): Pivotage operates GAPCOT, a proprietary employee verification portal that enables organisations to initiate, track, and manage background checks from a single dashboard. The platform provides real-time status updates, document upload management, customisable dashboards, database verification, and enhanced data security. With 78% of clients reporting direct value in workforce vetting, the service addresses the substantial cost and reputational risk of a wrong hire covering employment history, academic credential verification, referee checks, and more.

HR Advisory & Management Consulting: For organisations navigating workforce complexity, compliance obligations, or structural change, Pivotage Consulting provides HR audit services, policy development and enhancement, organisational charting, workforce strategy design, performance and goal management systems, and succession planning. The advisory practice aligns HR strategy with business objectives, reducing administrative burden and improving long-term operational efficiency. Whether addressing culture, compliance, or organisational design, the team provides practical, tailored guidance rather than generic frameworks.

HR & Manpower Outsourcing: Pivotage offers a tiered outsourced HR model that removes the overhead of maintaining a full in-house HR function while preserving operational effectiveness. Three packages serve different organisational scales:

Basic HR Management: Designed for SMEs: covers recruitment and onboarding, job design, background checks, payroll management, employee information systems, and smart skills training for up to 10 employees.
Essential HR Management: For businesses with 50–100 employees: adds HR audit, policy development, workforce diversity metrics, performance management systems, and access to a dedicated HR specialist.
Premium HR Management: For enterprises with 100+ employees: includes C-Suite recruitment, HR budgeting and forecasting, strategic policy development, succession planning, comprehensive technical training, and a dedicated HR specialist.

95% of clients report significant cost reductions and HR process optimisation following engagement.

Executive & Technical Search. For organisations requiring high-calibre talent at leadership or specialist level, Pivotage runs confidential executive search processes with a focus on precision matching. The search practice covers CEO, C-Suite, Head of Function, and technical specialist roles across banking, financial services, fintech, FMCG, telecoms, technology, and professional services. Every candidate is rigorously vetted before presentation, and search engagements are conducted with full discretion which is particularly relevant for board-level and sensitive succession situations.

Careers & Talent Matching. In addition to client-side services, Pivotage Consulting maintains an active job board connecting Nigerian professionals with opportunities across industries and locations nationwide. Active roles span Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, and other major commercial centres, across functions including HR, Finance, Technology, Sales, Operations, Compliance, and Brand Strategy.
