    Delivery location not established

    CDL publishes a Nairobi office and an Africa-wide managed-worker count, but its current pages do not establish how many client-delivery staff work from that office or elsewhere in Kenya; no Nairobi delivery location is inferred here.

    Updated 31 Aug 2026 13

    Career Directions Limited (CDL) states that it was established in 2003 and launched outsourced labour-management services in 2007. Its published timeline also records an EPZ licence in 2020 and reports more than 4,700 workers managed across Africa. 1

    The current remote-talent service combines recruitment with payroll, compliance and continuing workforce management. Published talent categories include customer service, technical support, data services and administration. 2

    CDL lists a Nairobi office, but its current public material does not say how many client-delivery staff work from that office. The Africa-wide managed-worker total is therefore not treated as a Kenya headcount, and no Nairobi delivery location is recorded. 3
