We put people first

Prime Agency is a Kenyan HR and recruitment partner built on one belief: when businesses look after their people, the results follow.

Our story

Prime Agency began with a simple observation: growing companies spend too much time on admin and too little on their teams. We set out to take HR, hiring and payroll off their plate and to do it with the care of an in-house department. Today we support organisations across Nairobi and beyond, from start-ups making their first hire to established firms running hundreds of salaries.

What guides us

Connect

We link the right people with the right businesses, building relationships that last well beyond placement.

Empower

We equip employers and employees with the tools, clarity and confidence to do their best work.

Grow

We measure success by your growth — stronger teams, healthier culture and better results.

Our promise

  • Integrity in every candidate we present
  • Accuracy in every shilling we process
  • Confidentiality for every record we hold
  • Responsiveness when you need us most
