Uganda and Kenya are among the African countries some clients look to for domestic workers when suitable options are available. However, a good decision depends less on the country's name and more on reviewing the candidate's CV and making sure her experience and skills match the family's needs.
Before choosing a country: define the nature of the work
Start by defining the main task in the home. If you need general housework, look for previous experience in that area. If the need relates to children, the elderly or a particular skill, make that experience one of your selection priorities.
Recruiting workers from Uganda
When reviewing candidates from Uganda, focus on the individual CV details: experience, length of previous employment, type of tasks, language, and any other professional information available. Don't assume all candidates have the same level of experience or skills.
Recruiting workers from Kenya
The same applies to candidates from Kenya. Compare profiles by how well they match your household's needs. If communicating in a particular language matters, make it one of your comparison points, and if you have specific requirements for children, cooking or organising, look for proven or listed experience in the CV.
How do you choose between several CVs?
Start by setting three to five key criteria, then compare candidates against them. For example: previous housework experience, experience with children, language, years of experience, and any additional skill your family needs. This makes the decision more objective.
Avoid generalisations about nationalities
It is better not to base your decision on general statements such as a certain nationality being better at cleaning, cooking or childcare. These qualities vary from person to person. The CV, individual experience and the interview or available information are the most accurate basis.
Does language matter?
Language is a practical factor because it helps explain daily tasks and instructions. But its importance varies from home to home. Some families consider it a priority, while others care more about experience or the type of tasks.
What should you review in the contract?
Review the profession, salary, contract duration, rights and obligations, and any conditions related to insurance or guarantees. Make sure the nature of the work required matches the profession stated in the contract.
Cost and timeline: why do they vary?
The cost and timeline of recruitment may vary by country, profession, candidate availability and how quickly procedures move. That's why it is best to get up-to-date information at the time of application instead of relying on old experiences or prices published some time ago.
