About the company

Sabi is a venture-backed B2B commerce and supply-chain infrastructure company that has pivoted toward traceability-led commodity trade. The company markets TRACE as an end-to-end platform for verified sourcing and source-to-export traceability across minerals and agricultural commodities. Recent public messaging places a heavy emphasis on compliant critical-minerals supply chains for global buyers. Public hiring information exists, but early-career details are uneven across roles.

Locations and presence

Sabi’s hiring footprint is anchored in Lagos (Victoria Island appears repeatedly across role locations). The company also positions operations across multiple African markets through TRACE and cross-border commodity flows.

Palpable Score

49.4

/ 100

Sabi offers a credible entry point through a graduate trainee program, but most visible hiring skews mid-to-senior, which makes “graduate-friendly access” feel occasional. Hiring and pay transparency are only partial, and the June 2025 layoff news plus limited promotion proof holds back the outcomes score.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company publicly announced a Graduate Trainee Program aimed at recent graduates in Nigeria, which is a clear early-career doorway.
Sabi continues to advertise roles via a central ATS careers page, but most visible roles are manager, head, or director level rather than 0–3 year roles.
The company does not show a steady, always-on pipeline of internships or junior roles across functions that a graduate could rely on year-round.

‍

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.0

/ 20

The company runs applications through a structured ATS (Zoho Recruit), which supports consistent intake versus informal inbox hiring.
Sabi has public interview-feedback coverage showing a defined interview experience and a stated difficulty rating, but the sample is small and not role-diverse.
The company does not publish a standard stage-by-stage hiring loop, timelines, or task expectations on the careers site, limiting transparency for first-time applicants.

‍

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company framed the Graduate Trainee Program as a “transformative career journey,” which implies some planned ramp and learning structure rather than sink-or-swim.
Sabi hires into cross-functional trade and platform work (traceability, trading, quality, customer operations), which can be strong learning when juniors get close coaching.
The company does not publicly spell out onboarding length, buddying, 1:1 cadence, or review cycles in job materials, so support quality cannot be verified.

‍

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

8.7

/ 20

The company has public salary data coverage on major aggregators, but job listings do not consistently publish pay ranges, which caps pay fairness confidence for graduates.
Sabi’s visible roles are typically full-time and location-specified (for example Lagos roles), which is a basic stability signal compared with repeated short contracts.
The company provides limited public detail on benefits and junior equity clarity, making it hard to judge whether offers are consistently market-aligned.

‍

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

6.7

/ 20

The company reduced headcount by about 20% (around 50 people) in June 2025 during a strategic pivot, which is a negative stability signal for early-career retention.
Sabi does not publish early-career outcomes such as trainee conversion rates, promotion timelines, or 12–24 month retention metrics.
The company’s public footprint shows ongoing hiring and platform expansion, but it does not provide verifiable junior-to-mid progression patterns that can be summarised confidently.
