#Dearjobseeker, Please allow me to speak on a very #controversial topic, Yes, my helmet is on!! The allure of working with #multinationals, The dream of every #jobseeker is to land themselves, a good employer, offering a hefty pay package, and if luck is on your side, other attractive benefits such as a #gymallowance, entertainment and other benefits that just make you giddy with excitement, that we always assume can only be obtained in an #MNC. Well, truth be told, its not always rosy at MNCs as we assume, and here is why: 1. The organisational structure is not lean, these businesses are characterised with so many work levels, such that if you are a star, and looking to grow within the organisation, it basically takes too long for you to rise within the organisation to take place, and also granted that there many employees also seeking the same role, this makes promotion quite difficult to come by, and work politics become so rife. 2. Due to the harsh economic conditions, most of these #mncs are actually winding up their operations in some African countries, Kenya being a perfect example! And based on the fact that profitability is very key for these businesses, it is quite the norm to be an unfortunate victim of #massivelayoffs, in a whiff! However, there is a glimmer of hope! There are some locally owned businesses in Kenya, that are actually quite structured, offering attractive benefits, with better growth prospects that many candidates overlook, all in the yearn for working for an MNC. From a recruiter's point of view, be open minded! There are very many locally owned mid sized businesses, ready to offer jobseekers promising opportunities, which many overlook, as they have the allure of working in a multinational. #beaware #jobsinkenya #nowhiring

Job seekers Please let no body lie to you that you will find a perfect work environment.Majority of work environments in Kenya(private sector jobs)are toxic but employees stick to these jobs because they lack alternatives . To be honest with you job seekers if you are lucky to get a job keep quiet and focus on your JD it's difficult to find a perfect work environment In Kenya except the international companies who have branches in Kenya. I speak out of experience I have been in the Micro finance sector for over 15yrs and I can confirm with confidence that there nothing like a perfect work environment you have learn to leave with the toxic environment and when you are fed up you resign and look for another chance elsewhere. That is the harsh reality job seekers need to know about jobs in Kenya.

Can someone please help me understand what could be the reason behind posting a job and not writing the organisation’s name. I see at too many posts like this one. ‘A confidential company is hiring… A multi national company is hiring… A well-known NGO is hiring.., If you are such a huge name, why do you shy away from mentioning it? Or you just want a bulk of resumes for your own profit? And people who write ‘interested’, ‘please consider’, can you guys tell me if you’ve ever gotten a call from these recruiters? Im unable to digest it. #recruiters #HR #strangethingsonlinkedin

In Kenya, securing a job often hinges on "knowing someone who knows someone." Highly qualified individuals face hurdles in securing employment, while others, with potentially lesser qualifications, effortlessly land positions purely through connections. This perpetuates inequality and erodes the principles of meritocracy, which is fundamental to a fair and just society. Let's reevaluate our hiring practices and ensure opportunities are based on merit, skills, and qualifications rather than just personal connections. Together, let's advocate for a shift towards a meritocratic approach to hiring, where talent and potential are valued above all else. #KenyanJobs #Meritocracy #EqualOpportunity #InclusiveHiring

The global market needs this reform.
