“Since 2006, BrighterMonday has built digital solutions that have accelerated the recruitment space in Kenya, resulting in a more seamless hiring process and improving the quality of candidates businesses recruit. With the support of stakeholders, we have helped over 40,000 employers access the right candidates, in an efficient and reliable way.
