About Get Virtual Work
Innovating smart and efficient ways to work
From solving our own business challenges, we have created a system that allows us to help other businesses globally solve similar challenges by finding the right talents, managing them and doing so for a fraction of the average cost.
01Our story
We solved our own problem first
We didn’t start out as a recruitment company. Get Virtual Work grew out of Zealight Innovation Labs, a Nigerian software development and talent management company that has spent years building software products and running distributed tech teams for clients around the world.
We are first a software company before we are a recruitment agency. That order matters. Because we hire, onboard and manage engineers for our own delivery work, we know first-hand what our clients need from remote talent — and what goes wrong when sourcing, screening or management is treated as an afterthought.
The challenges we solved for ourselves — finding genuinely strong people, integrating them into real workflows, keeping quality high across time zones — became a system. Today that system serves companies and startups across our client markets, from the US and Canada to the UK, Europe and Australia.
Finding the right talent
sourcing and screening remote professionals so you can trust every person we put forward.
Managing that talent for you
staying engaged after the match, so performance is monitored, supported and sustained.
02What we believe
What we believe
Quality first.
Nigerian tech talent is excellent — that is the reason to work with us. Cost efficiency is real, but it is the consequence of where and how we operate, never the pitch.
Screening is a craft.
A CV tells you very little. We take vetting seriously — skills, track record, reliability and communication — because our name goes to work alongside every person we place.
Management is the product.
Most remote engagements fail after the hire, not before it. We stay in the engagement: check-ins, feedback, performance support and course correction are part of the service, not an upsell.
Partnership over placement.
We are not a résumé marketplace, and we don’t measure success in placements. We measure it in engagements that are still working a year later — talent growing with your business, and your business growing because of it.
03The entity, plainly
Get Virtual Work and Zealight — one company, plainly explained
Get Virtual Work is the product and service brand — the name on this website, on your talent engagements and on your managed delivery work.
Zealight Innovation Labs Limited is the company behind the brand: the Nigerian legal and operating company, and the entity that signs contracts with clients. When you engage Get Virtual Work, your agreement is with Zealight Innovation Labs Limited. One company, one contract — never two vendors.
The brand brings together everything the company does for clients: sourcing and screening talent, supporting and managing engaged professionals, and delivering complete software projects with assembled teams.
Zealight also runs sister initiatives you’ll find in our footer:
04How we work
How we work
From first conversation to a running engagement, the process is deliberate: we source, we screen, we match, we onboard, we manage, and we keep developing the people you work with.
Work with people who’ve done the work themselves.
We built this system for our own projects before we offered it to anyone else. Tell us what you need — a single hire, a managed team or a full delivery — and we’ll bring the same system to your business.
