[ What They Say ]
Results. In their words.
Hadiat delivered a shortlist of four exceptional candidates within ten days. All four were credible. We hired two. That has never happened with any other agency we have used.
Solomon Njenga
Chief People Officer · Cellulant
I wasn't even actively looking. A Hadiat consultant reached out on LinkedIn, had a real conversation about my career trajectory, and three months later I was starting my dream role at a Series B startup.
Winnie Akinyi
Senior Product Manager · Now at M-KOPA
We needed a CTO fast. Not an average CTO — the right one. Hadiat understood the difference. Their executive search process was rigorous, transparent, and delivered exactly the hire we needed.
Tariq Osman
Founder & CEO · Ndovu Technologies
The psychometric and video assessment process Hadiat uses genuinely changes how you evaluate candidates. We made two hires who have been transformational for our finance team.
Zipporah Kamande
Finance Director · Africa Re
As a mid-career professional switching industries, I was worried no agency would take me seriously. Hadiat did. Their consultant spent two hours mapping my skills. I landed a role in a completely new sector at a higher salary.
Dennis Mbithi
Operations Manager · Now at Twiga Foods
We use Hadiat exclusively for all our Nairobi hiring. The consistency is what sets them apart — every consultant knows our business, our culture, and our standards. First-time quality, every time.
Brenda Chebet
Head of Talent Acquisition · Jubilee Insurance
Hadiat placed me in my current role fourteen months ago. They checked in at 30, 60, and 90 days post-placement. That level of follow-through is unheard of from a recruitment agency. They genuinely care.
James Mwai
Engineering Manager · Now at Bamburi Cement
We engaged three agencies for a critical Regional Director search. Only Hadiat came back with candidates who actually read the brief. They saved us months of wasted interviews.
Claire Njoroge
MD East Africa · Standard Bank
[ About Hadiat ]
Built for Kenya. Designed for results.
Founded by Hadiat Osman after 18 years in Pan-African executive search, our agency exists because most recruitment is broken — slow, transactional, and disconnected from outcomes.
We combine technology with deeply specialised consultants. Every mandate is treated as a search. Every candidate is a person, not a CV.
The result: faster placements, better fits, longer retention.
