The Kenyan government through the National Employment Authority keeps a record of licenced foreign and local recruitment agencies.
The list can be accessed through the National Employment Authority Integrated Management System (NEAIMS) which is currently connecting 8,074 employers with 25,400 job seekers.
Kenyans.co.ke compiled a list of 100 recruitment agencies that had a valid licence to recruit Kenyas to work abroad as of Tuesday, January 2024. The NEAIMS currently has over 400 licenced recruiting agencies.
Interested Kenyans can connect with the recruiters by clicking www.neaims.go.ke and then selecting the “List of Private Employment Agencies” tab on the homepage.
Requirements & Steps for Travelling Abroad for Employment
The State Department for Diaspora Affairs says that before leaving Kenya;
Confirm whether the agent is licensed and registered with the National Employment Authority via the NEAIMS website
Ensure that you have done an interview, have an offer letter that you have accepted, and have signed a contract.
Also, confirm that you have personally been attested by the Ministry of Labour, and have a visa and air ticket.
Undergo pre-departure training conducted by the Ministry.
Cross-check your job duties in the foreign country - what the job entails, the details of the employer including name, address and contact, salary, and model of payment.
Know the location where you will stay after landing in the country and who will host you before you meet your employer.
Ensure you have a Work Permit, and a valid, renewable visa depending on your contract length.
Have enough money to facilitate your flight back home in case of an emergency.
Have contacts of Kenya High Commission or the Embassy of the country hosting you.
"If all the above doesn’t point to fraudulent business, once at the airport, please do not carry any luggage that you did not pack yourself. Kenya wishes you the best in your endeavours to seek employment in the diaspora," the Ministry warns that shrewd agents may use naive recruits as mules to ferry prohibited substances.
