Career Trust — MidCareer Kenya
Your Career Deserves Opportunities You Can Trust.
Searching for employment should not mean putting your personal information, qualifications, savings, or professional future at unnecessary risk.
Across Kenya, graduates and experienced professionals discover opportunities through company websites, recruitment agencies, career fairs, professional networks, and online platforms. While many opportunities are genuine, identifying the organizations behind advertisements can sometimes be difficult.

MidCareer is committed to building a more transparent environment where professionals can explore opportunities through participating employers and recruitment partners whose identities and recruitment arrangements have been appropriately reviewed.
Through the MyResource ecosystem, we aim to improve trust between candidates and employers, with additional attention to international companies recruiting Kenyan professionals.
Verified organizations. Clearer recruitment information. Greater confidence in career decisions.
Why Career Trust Matters
A Job Advertisement Is Not Proof
That an Opportunity Is Genuine.
An attractive vacancy may appear professional, carry a recognizable company logo, and promise good working conditions.
However, these details alone do not establish that the advertiser represents the company or that the vacancy has been authorized.

Candidates may encounter impersonation, misleading advertisements, unofficial recruitment agents, and requests for money.
These risks can be particularly difficult to assess when the employer operates in another country.
MidCareer aims to reduce these uncertainties through an employer and recruitment verification framework.
Rather than expecting professionals to investigate every unfamiliar organization alone, the platform seeks to establish important information about participating companies before presenting them as verified.
Trust should begin with knowing who is offering the opportunity.
How We Verify Participating Employers
We Review the Organization
Before Introducing It to Candidates.
Employer verification should go beyond checking whether a company name appears in an online search.
Our intended verification framework includes the following checks.
- 1
Legal Company Identity
Review the relevant company registration, operating name, business address, and available official records.
- 2
Authorized Representatives
Confirm that the individuals registering or communicating on behalf of the company have appropriate authorization.
- 3
Business Operations
Review relevant evidence that the organization operates in the activities or industries it claims to represent.
- 4
Recruitment Authorization
Establish whether the organization is recruiting directly or through an authorized recruitment partner.
- 5
Job Authenticity
Seek confirmation that the advertised position has been authorized by the relevant employer.
- 6
Recruitment Conditions
Review whether the opportunity contains sufficiently clear information about responsibilities, location, working arrangements, and proposed employment terms.
- 7
Continuing Review
Reassess verification status when important information changes or credible concerns are raised.
These checks should be completed before assigning the relevant verification status. The extent of verification may vary according to the available evidence and the jurisdiction involved.
Verification is a process, not simply a badge displayed beside a company name.
International Employer Verification
Bringing International Opportunities to
Kenya With Greater Accountability.
International employment can create valuable opportunities for Kenyan graduates, technicians, skilled workers, and experienced professionals.
However, distance and unfamiliar regulatory environments can make it difficult to establish whether a foreign organization or its recruitment representative is genuine.
MidCareer aims to apply additional scrutiny to international employers seeking Kenyan professionals through MyResource.
- 1
Confirming the Foreign Company
Review relevant corporate identity and registration information in the employer's jurisdiction.
- 2
Confirming the Representative
Seek evidence that the person communicating with MidCareer is authorized by the organization.
- 3
Confirming the Recruitment Arrangement
Understand whether recruitment is conducted directly by the employer or through an appointed intermediary.
- 4
Confirming the Vacancy
Where reasonably possible, obtain confirmation from the employer that the specific opportunity has been authorized.
- 5
Reviewing the Employment Structure
Understand whether the role involves employment in Kenya, remote work, independent contracting, or overseas relocation.
- 6
Reviewing Recruitment Concerns
Provide a process for investigating material complaints, suspicious activity, or misleading information.
A verified foreign employer does not automatically mean that every advertisement or person claiming to represent that employer is legitimate.
International recruitment should offer more possibilities without asking Kenyan professionals to accept unnecessary uncertainty.
Verified Recruitment Partners
A Recruiter Should Be Accountable
for the Opportunities They Introduce.
Recruiters can help employers identify suitable candidates and support professionals in understanding relevant career opportunities.
However, candidates deserve to know who the recruiter is, which industries they specialize in, and whether they are authorized to represent a particular employer.

Through the connected Recruiter platform, participating recruitment professionals can maintain profiles describing their specializations, experience, credentials, and relevant recruitment activities.
Where a recruiter claims to represent an employer, MidCareer aims to establish the appropriate recruitment relationship before relying on that claim.
Recruiters work independently within the ecosystem. The platform is not a recruiter-to-recruiter marketplace.
Professionals should remain free to evaluate participating recruitment partners and decide whether they wish to engage with them.
Professional recruitment should be based on transparency, authorization, and candidate choice.
No Candidate Recruitment Fees
Never Pay Someone for Access
to a Job Through MidCareer.
MidCareer prohibits participating recruiters and recruitment partners from charging candidates for job introductions, interviews, placements, or employment offers through the ecosystem.
This principle applies to Kenyan employment opportunities and international recruitment conducted through participating organizations.

No recruiter should ask a candidate to pay money to reserve an interview, secure a position, or guarantee an employment offer.
Some legitimate third-party services, such as professional examinations, official government documentation, academic qualification verification, or licensing, may involve separate charges.
Those costs must never be misrepresented as recruitment placement fees.
Candidates should verify applicable third-party charges through the relevant official organization before making payments.
Your qualifications and experience should open career opportunities—not payments to recruiters.
Career Identity — Trust for Professionals Too
Trust Should
Work in Both Directions.
Employers need to understand the qualifications and experience of candidates. Professionals need to understand the organizations offering employment.
Career Identity helps address the professional side of this relationship.

Following successful identity verification, an individual can receive a permanent Career Identity Number, or CIN.
The record can contain academic qualifications, employment history, technical skills, projects, certifications, and professional achievements.
Career Identity distinguishes self-declared information from independently supported information.
Eligible qualifications can be confirmed through participating university registrars, while professional references can support specific career facts.
The digital Career Identity Card allows others to check permitted identity and verification information without accessing underlying private documents.
A CIN confirms the existence and status of the identity record. It does not mean that every claim recorded by the professional has been independently verified.
Employers should earn trust. Professional records should be supported by clear evidence.
Privacy and Personal Information
Professional Verification Should
Not Require Unnecessary Disclosure.
Recruitment often involves sharing personal information, including qualifications, employment history, professional references, and identity documents.
MidCareer is designed to place greater emphasis on controlled information sharing and responsible handling of personal data.

The Career Identity specification provides for temporary processing of uploaded identity documents and AI-assisted document submissions, rather than permanent storage of the original files.
Professionals review AI-generated suggestions before they become part of the career record.
The CIN itself does not act as a login credential and cannot be used to access private documents.
Public verification should only information permitted under the relevant privacy settings.
Employers and recruitment partners must also follow applicable platform requirements for handling candidate information.
A trustworthy career platform should protect professional information as carefully as it verifies career claims.
Recognizing Suspicious Recruitment
Know the Warning Signs
Before You Proceed.
Even when using a structured recruitment platform, professionals should remain attentive to unusual or misleading recruitment behaviour.
Potential warning signs include requests for payment to secure interviews, communication from people claiming to represent companies without verifiable authorization, unclear employment conditions, and pressure to provide sensitive documents through unofficial channels.

Candidates should also be cautious when an overseas opportunity promises guaranteed employment or immigration approval without a clear and legitimate process.
A suspicious message does not automatically prove fraud, but it may justify additional verification before proceeding.
Professionals should use official company channels and relevant authorities when independently checking recruitment information.
If something is unclear, seek confirmation before making a commitment.
Report a Suspicious Opportunity
Help Us Protect
the Professional Community.
Candidate reports can help identify misleading advertisements, impersonation, unauthorized recruitment activity, and prohibited requests for payment.
MidCareer aims to provide an appropriate reporting process so that concerns involving participating employers or recruitment partners can be reviewed.

- Requests for recruitment payments.
- False claims of employer representation.
- Misleading job descriptions or employment conditions.

When submitting a report, professionals should provide relevant details without unnecessarily exposing sensitive personal information.
Reports should be assessed fairly, with appropriate consideration of the available evidence.
Depending on the circumstances, relevant listings or verification statuses may need to be reviewed while concerns are investigated.
Candidate protection is stronger when concerns can be raised and addressed responsibly.
