Stay in your job. Keep your options open.
Set your bar
Tell us what would make you move: the title, the money, the team, the remote setup. Three minutes, once.
Stay invisible
Your current employer cannot see you. Nobody can, until you say so. No public profile, no "open to work" badge.
Get pitched, not spammed
Companies that clear your bar reach out with the role, the salary, and why it is you. You reply, or you do not.
Every pitch shows the money
The band, not "competitive". If a company will not put the number on the table, the message never leaves our side. Salary is the first thing you see, not the last thing you ask.
Browse open rolesNobody's boss finds out
No public profile, no "open to work" badge, no awkward conversation at work. Companies see your skills and signals, never your name, until you decide to reply.
Real jobs. Right fit.
A taste of what's open right now. Salary, team, perks and values, all up front.
Culture you can check, not culture you're sold
Who you would report to. How the team actually works. What the last person in the seat said about it. Written plainly, with the salary band attached.

So… what exactly is Jobs by CareerBuddy?
Jobs by CareerBuddy is a hand-curated hiring network where the best professionals get headhunted, quietly, on their own terms. We are built and run by CareerBuddy, a recruitment business rooted in Lagos since 2018 and now placing senior talent for teams worldwide.
For candidates, we are the friend who reads the fine print, calls out the lowballs, and only sends roles that clear the bar you set, whether you are actively looking or just keeping a window open. For companies, we put you in front of the people who are not applying anywhere.
Three rules keep this place honest. Every role publishes its salary band. Every candidate is anonymous to recruiters by default. Nobody gets carpet-bombed: candidates hear from at most three companies, ever.
We cover engineering, product, design, data, growth and consulting. Remote anywhere globally, plus on-the-ground networks in Lagos, Nairobi, Cairo, Cape Town and Accra.
