Hire Software Developer Nairobi — Shortlisted in 7 Days

NEA-licensed Kenyan recruitment from Muthaiga Square. A vetted shortlist on your desk in 7 calendar days — guaranteed in writing.

Hire Software Developer Nairobi

Hiring talent in Kenya should be measured in days, not months — which is exactly the standard Infinite Talent operates to. If you are hiring a Software Developer in Kenya, you have arrived at the right desk. Our Software Developer specialists screen against the brief, verify certifications and deliver a shortlist of typically three to five candidates within seven days. Current market salaries for this role sit around KES 120,000 - 450,000 per month.

Why Kenyan employers choose Infinite Talent

We hold framework agreements with employers across hospitality, construction, healthcare and the NGO sector, which is why our talent pool refreshes every week.

NEA-licensed and accountable

We hold a current National Employment Authority licence (No. NA/2024/05/14) for both local and overseas placements. That means contracts, vetting and complaints handling are auditable by the Ministry of Labour.

Seven-day shortlist guarantee

Submit a vacancy on a Monday — receive a shortlist by the following Monday. The guarantee is in writing on every engagement letter we send.

Muthaiga Square HQ

Our office is a physical address in Nairobi, not a virtual mailbox. Walk in, sit down, brief us in person — we prefer it that way.

Industry-specialist recruiters

Hospitality, healthcare, construction, finance, logistics, NGO and domestic-worker desks are each staffed by a recruiter who works only that vertical.
