Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will support data collection, cleaning, and basic analysis for demographic and public health surveys in Sierra Leone. Day-to-day tasks include field monitoring visits, verifying data quality from enumerators, and preparing summary tables for program reports. Expect to collaborate closely with statisticians and social science officers in Freetown.
Key skills to highlight
Strong candidates demonstrate proficiency in survey software (e.g., CSPro, ODK or SurveyCTO) and basic statistical tools like SPSS or Stata. Experience with community-based data collection in West Africa, including familiarity with local languages (Krio, Mende, or Temne), is a clear advantage. Show your ability to spot data errors and follow standard operating procedures.
Taf4All CV tip
List a specific data quality task you handled—e.g., “conducted back-checks on 200 household surveys in rural Bo District” or “cleaned 500+ records using Stata do-files.” Avoid generic “data entry” phrases; tie each skill to a measurable outcome like reduced error rates or faster reporting.
Before you apply
Verify the employer’s identity by checking the official Statistics Sierra Leone website or LinkedIn page. Never pay for application forms, training, or “guaranteed” interviews. If the recruiter asks for upfront fees or your bank details, report it immediately.
🎯 Make your application ATS-ready
ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
