HR software for Kenyan employers

RecruitIQ is an AI-powered HR and workforce management platform for companies hiring and managing staff in Kenya. Run recruitment, onboarding, leave, timesheets, payroll and performance reviews from one system instead of stitching together spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and paper files.

Most Kenyan HR teams do not lose time to a lack of software — they lose it to software that does not talk to itself. Applicant data sits in one tool, leave balances in a spreadsheet, payroll in another package, and appraisal forms in email. Every month somebody reconciles it by hand. RecruitIQ keeps one employee record from the first application through to the final payslip, so the number you report is the number in the system.

What you get

Full employee lifecycle

One record per person, from candidate through onboarding, active employment, appraisal and exit. No re-keying between systems.

Kenyan statutory deductions

Payroll accounts for PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and the housing levy, with rates maintained centrally so you are not editing formulas each time they change.

Self-service for employees

Staff apply for leave, download payslips, update details and complete onboarding tasks themselves — including on mobile, without an HR ticket.

Approvals that match your org chart

Leave, expenses and offers route to the right manager automatically, with a full audit trail of who approved what and when.

Frequently asked questions

Does RecruitIQ handle Kenyan statutory deductions?

Yes. Payroll supports PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and the affordable housing levy. Rates are maintained centrally, so when a statutory rate changes you do not have to rebuild a spreadsheet formula.

Can employees access it on their phones?

Yes. There are dedicated mobile experiences for employees and recruiters, so staff can request leave, view payslips and complete onboarding steps from a phone.

Do we have to move everything at once?

No. Most teams start with one module — commonly recruitment or leave — and add payroll and performance once staff are comfortable. The employee record is shared across modules, so nothing needs re-entering later.

Is our employee data kept private?

Each organisation gets an isolated workspace with role-based access, so recruiters, managers and employees only see what their role permits.
