For many Kenyans seeking employment abroad, private recruitment agencies offer a pathway to secure jobs in various sectors.
These agencies connect job seekers with international employers and guide them through application, work permit, and relocation processes.
While opportunities are abundant, it is essential to engage only with licensed and reputable agencies to avoid scams and ensure a smooth recruitment process.
The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection has revoked over 700 licenses for corrupt agents who have been swindling desperate and jobless Kenyans in the name of securing diaspora jobs for them.
Kenyans interested in finding agents licensed by the National Employment Authority can visit the NEAIMS website at neaims.go.ke.
