It has been
approximately five months since Recours Four Kenya Consultants (R4K) was
founded and at least two months since the company relocated to Ngong Road from
Langata and it must be hard work and positive publicity as R4K continues to bag
several contracts from different companies.
Having just launched
its website a month ago, R4K was able to secure a contract from a Micro Finance
company based in Westlands, Nairobi area where the clientele needed almost 1,500
staff personnel for the position of field officers to be based across the
country. Among the 1,500 personnel to be recruited by R4K, five were to come
from each constituency in all the counties, and this meant the company had to
get down working to ensure they beat the deadline and targets.
According to the
Recours Four Kenya Consultants’ boss Ms. Gloria Michelle Otieno while in her
office, she acknowledged the fact that most youths were responding positively
to the varied job openings that were being presented to them. She continued to
state that, as much there was increased youth unemployment in most developing
nations, R4K was founded with the soul purpose of reducing this especially
among the youth hence the company motto, for the youth and by the youth.
It should be noted
that, before the micro finance company contract, the company had already
recruited person’s for a health care center based in Mombasa for the position
of human resource/personal assistant, did staffing for a five star hotel based
in Malindi for the positions of chefs and cooks and also did staffing for two
lavish restaurants both based in Nairobi Donholm and Ngong road area for the
positions of cashiers, waiters and waitresses.
Among the diverse
positions that Recours Four Kenya Consultants have managed to recruit include,
customer care, chefs, cooks, cashiers, field officers, sales persons, human
resource persons, procurement officers and personal assistants just to mention
a few. In all these positions it has been from different industrial sectors
including; hospitality, micro finance, telecommunication to health sector.
Speaking to the
company’s Director of Operations, Mr Muka Ndombi, he revealed that R4K had
secured itself another contract with another company based in Upper Hill
Nairobi area and that he was excited about the new developments, since it will
be a gain for both the company and those who will be recruited. When asked to
shed more light on the same, he declined stating that the job advertisement
will be out soon and thus no cause for anxiety. However, he strongly urged the
youth to be aggressive enough and grab the opportunities being presented to
them. He added that the youth should stop wining about lack of jobs but instead
take the initiative to shape their own future.
As reported, R4K has
already recruited field officers for the Micro Finance company for people based
in Nairobi county and now they are recruiting for Machakos county, Nakuru county
and Kericho county. As highlighted, the interviews will be conducted at the
company’s premise in Ngong road. A word from the C.E.O Ms. Otieno, she asserted
that jobs are out there and that its only lack of proper personal branding that
renders most youth jobless especially in terms of poorly written CVs and cover
letters, she said that a well written CV markets an individual giving the right
impression to potential employers.
