Overseas Recruitment Agency in Kenya

Dedicated sourcing operations in Kenya, connected to our Dubai headquarters — helping Gulf employers recruit Kenyan talent with confidence.

Kenya Sourcing Operations

Recruit Kenyan Talent for Your Gulf Operation

We source, screen and mobilise candidates from Kenya for employers in the UAE and across the GCC.

Overseas Recruitment Agency in Kenya

Employers across the Gulf rely on Kenyan workers for construction, hospitality, security, logistics, facilities management and skilled trades. Recruiting overseas, however, means working across two labour markets, two sets of documentation and a long list of steps between a job order and a worker arriving on site. Our Kenya sourcing operation exists to make that corridor work for employers.

Because we operate both in Kenya and from our UAE headquarters, we can advertise and screen candidates close to source while keeping the process aligned with the employer’s requirements in the destination country. Choose Direct Recruitment to employ candidates directly, or Full Recruitment for end-to-end handling including mobilisation.
