Hire Casual Workers in Nairobi and Across Kenya

Lynn HR works with businesses to understand their staffing needs and determine the most appropriate recruitment approach.

For employers seeking casual workers in Nairobi, we can discuss requirements relating to business premises, warehouses, construction sites, factories, commercial properties, and other workplaces.

Employers outside Nairobi can also contact us to discuss their staffing needs and confirm whether recruitment support is available for their location.

When requesting recruitment services, provide the work location, number of workers required, job descriptions, expected start date, and any relevant experience or qualification requirements. This information helps us assess your needs and determine the next steps.

Recruitment for Bulk Casual Worker Requirements

Does your business need 10, 20, 50, or more workers for a project or period of increased demand?

Bulk recruitment requires clear planning, suitable candidate sourcing, consistent screening, and coordination with the employer. Lynn HR can discuss recruitment arrangements for businesses seeking multiple workers for suitable roles.

How we approach bulk recruitment

1. Understand your workforce requirements

   We establish the number of workers required, job categories, work location, expected start date, and duration of the assignment.

2. Define the candidate requirements

   We work with you to clarify the duties, experience, qualifications, availability, and other relevant selection criteria.

3. Source and screen candidates

   We identify potential candidates and assess them against the agreed requirements.

4. Coordinate the recruitment process

   We communicate with the employer regarding suitable candidates, selection arrangements, and recruitment progress.

5. Support the agreed onboarding process

   Where included in the engagement, we assist with relevant recruitment records, employment documentation, and coordination of the next steps.

Recruitment timelines depend on the number of workers needed, the role requirements, candidate availability, location, and screening process.

Contact Lynn HR early if you anticipate a large recruitment requirement or need workers by a specific date.

Temporary Staffing and Short-Term Recruitment Services

Businesses experience changes in staffing requirements due to seasonal demand, projects, employee absence, expansion, and changes in workload. Temporary staffing and short-term recruitment can help employers respond to these needs.

Lynn HR helps businesses assess their staffing requirements and recruit suitable candidates for temporary or time-bound assignments. Our recruitment support can be relevant when you need to:

• Increase staffing during peak business periods
• Recruit workers for a defined project
• Support a warehouse during stocktaking
• Recruit additional workers for a construction project
• Increase production support during busy periods
• Recruit event personnel for specific dates
• Fill temporary operational staffing gaps

The appropriate employment arrangement depends on the actual working relationship and applicable Kenyan employment requirements.

Where a business requires a staffing provider to employ workers, administer payroll, or assume responsibility for their day-to-day management, those services must be separately agreed and assessed against the relevant legal and operational requirements.

What Does It Cost to Hire Casual Workers in Kenya?

The cost of recruiting casual workers depends on the nature of the assignment and the services required. Factors that may influence recruitment fees include:

• The number of workers required
• The type of work and candidate experience needed
• The location of the assignment
• The urgency of recruitment
• The complexity of candidate screening
• Whether recruitment involves a single role or bulk hiring
• Whether additional HR documentation services are required

For example, recruiting five warehouse assistants may involve a different process from recruiting 50 construction labourers for a project starting within a short period.

Lynn HR can assess your requirements and provide a quotation based on the agreed recruitment scope. For an accurate quotation, share the job descriptions, number of workers, work location, expected start date, and any specific candidate requirements.

Employment Documentation and Compliance for Casual Workers in Kenya

Employers hiring casual workers should understand the applicable provisions of the Employment Act, 2007, and other relevant employment requirements.

The legal classification of a working arrangement depends on the circumstances and applicable law. Employers should not assume that a worker remains a casual employee indefinitely simply because the initial arrangement was described as casual.

Depending on the circumstances, employers may need to consider employment records, applicable remuneration requirements, working hours, leave, occupational safety, and other employment obligations. Businesses should also ensure that the employment arrangement reflects the actual working relationship.

Lynn HR can support relevant HR documentation and recruitment processes within the agreed scope of service, including employment contract drafting and review. Employers who need advice on the legal classification of workers or interpretation of employment law should consult a qualified Kenyan advocate.
