Technical recruitment in Kenya

Hire the right people
for your software team.

Build your team with people who fit the work ahead. Discuss technical recruitment with Muva in Kenya, from defining software roles to agreeing candidate assessment and interview support for direct employment. Need engineering capacity through a services agreement instead? That is a different engagement.

Two needs. Different agreements.

Hire into your company.
Or engage Muva engineers.

Direct employment through recruitment

Your company employs and manages the successful candidate. Muva's recruitment contribution, fee and responsibilities are agreed separately from the employment contract. This page is for employers discussing that hiring need.

Engineering capacity through Muva

Engage individual consultants or a dedicated team under a Muva services agreement. Agree availability, duration, delivery ownership and working arrangements rather than treating the engagement as a direct hire.

Start with the work ahead

A clear role.
Not just another CV.

Share what the person needs to accomplish, not only a list of technologies. A useful brief gives both the employer and candidates a clearer basis for assessing fit.

Responsibilities and skills

Describe expected outcomes, experience, essential skills and the team the person will join. Identify which requirements are essential and which can be learned.

Practical working arrangements

Clarify location, remote or office expectations, working-hour overlap, employment arrangement, compensation range and intended start. Name the interviewers and final decision owner.

Agree the process before starting

From the role brief
to a hiring decision.

The scope is agreed for each engagement. Candidate sourcing, technical assessment, reference or background checks are not assumed to be included; confirm the activities and responsible parties in writing.

Agree the brief and terms

Define the role, employment arrangement, assessment scope, recruitment fee and decision owners before any search begins.

Plan candidate identification and review

Agree how candidates will be identified, the information needed to review suitability, and permission to share candidate details.

Coordinate assessment and interviews

Set the technical assessment and interview stages for the role. Confirm who conducts each stage and how feedback and decisions will be handled.

Support selection and the offer process

Your company makes the final hiring decision and employment offer. Agree the support needed through selection and any follow-up responsibilities.

Clear responsibilities.
No hidden assumptions.

The employer makes the final selection and is responsible for its employment offer and contract with the candidate. Recruitment fees, payment triggers, and whether any replacement provisions apply must be agreed before work begins. We do not promise a placement or a fixed hiring timeline.

Candidate information must be handled for the agreed recruitment purpose and shared with appropriate consent. Agree what information is needed, who can access it and how it will be handled before exchanging CVs or assessment records.

International employers can discuss hiring from Kenya. Location, working hours and the proposed employment arrangement need to be clear. Recruitment does not automatically include payroll, employer-of-record, visa or employment-compliance services.

Before we talk.

How is recruitment different from dedicated teams?

For direct recruitment, your company employs the candidate. For dedicated teams or individual consultants, engineering capacity is supplied under a Muva services agreement. Fees, management and responsibilities differ.

Can an international company discuss hiring from Kenya?

Yes. Share the role, location and employment arrangement so we can discuss the recruitment scope. Do not assume that cross-border employment administration or legal services are included.

How are recruitment fees and assessments agreed?

We discuss the role and support required, then agree fees, payment triggers, assessment activities and responsibilities in writing before starting. There is no universal fee or assessment package published here.

Where should candidates apply?

This page is for employers. People interested in joining Muva should use our Careers page. A careers application is not a guarantee of placement with another company.
